Pete Davidson: Who is Kim Kardashian’s rumoured new bae and who has he dated?

Pete Davidson seems to be a fan of both romance and famous women as he has barely been single since 2016, often in relationships with celebs.


All eyes are on Pete Davidson, the man most recently romantically linked to Kim Kardashian and that’s because her fans just don’t get it.

The 40-year-old divorcee has been spotted with the 27-year-old comedian on multiple occasions in recent days, much to the disappointment of her fans. And this disappointment isn’t something new when it comes to Davidson.

He has dated a number of famous women and each time, fans of these women have wondered what their faves are going through that would open them up to dating someone like Pete.

Who is Pete Davidson

Peter Michael Davidson is an American comedian, actor, writer, and producer who has been a cast member on the NBC late-night sketch comedy Saturday Night Live since 2014. 

In 2020, he co-wrote and starred in the semi-autobiographical comedy-drama film The King of Staten Island.

He has also appeared on the MTV shows Guy Code, Wild ‘n Out, and Failosophy.

It’s hard to describe Davidson’s personality as someone who doesn’t know him but he has often been likened to a “stoner” and described as somewhat immature. It has also often been highlighted that he continues to live at home with his mom despite earning enough to make a living on his own.

Who has Pete Davidson dated?

Although he was previously linked to women such as comedian Carly Aquilino and Cazzie David (daughter of legendary comedian Larry David), he shot to romantic fame in 2018 when he briefly dated singer Ariana Grande. 

According to Glamour, within the first two weeks, Davidson had gained two Grande-themed tattoos. 

They moved in together shortly thereafter and by mid-June, they were engaged. 

She then joked – during their relationship – that he was phallically gifted, leading the world to believe tha he really was the proud owner of a 10-inch penis. Davidson has since brushed her comment off as a joke, adding that his future sexual partners may be disappointed to find out that what Ariana said is not true. 

The pair later broke up and he went on to date actress Kate Beckinsale, much to everyone’s collective confusion. 

They were over just as quickly as they started and he was in another relationship before anyone could blink. This time with actress Margaret Qualley. 

Davidson seems to have a thing for women with brown hair and famous moms as he moved on to Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber after his break up with Qualley.

Earlier this year, he briefly dated Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor and now he’s with Kim Kardashian.

It’s not really that people hate Pete Davidson. It’s just that it is hard to see his appeal as a romantic partner from the outside, looking in.
