Pete Davidson and his rumored girlfriend Madelyn Cline were spotted out together over the weekend at the afterparty for "Saturday Night Live."
Rumors of the two being romantically linked started in September following a report from Us Weekly. Reps for Davidson did not respond to TODAY.com's request for comment.
With past paramours including Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale, Pete Davidson's relationship status has been a constant source of speculation and headline-making news.
He fittingly joked about it during a sketch from his "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig Oct. 14. In a parody of Ryan Gosling's number from "Barbie," Davidson sang a song called "I'm Just Pete."
“My dating life is not discrete. I generate tons of publicity. For everything except my comedy,” he sang.
The former "Saturday Night Live" star's love life has been a topic of discussion ever since he was linked to Grande in 2018. After they got engaged weeks after they started dating, Davidson went on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and joked about how famous he's become.
“You know you didn’t have to get engaged to Ariana Grande to come on our show,” Fallon joked.
“But I did, though,” Davidson replied.
The "Meet Cute" actor also revealed what it was like to be linked to a pop star. “Some dude came up to me and was like, ‘Yo man, you, like, gave me hope,’” he laughed. “I was like, I didn’t know I was that ugly!”
Davidson has also opened up about his approach to love — which seems to be working. “My love language, when I’m in a relationship, is I treat the person I’m with like a princess. I try and go as above and beyond as possible, because that’s what you’re supposed to do. If you’re in a relationship with someone, you’re just supposed to make that person feel as special as possible," he told PAPER Magazine.
While many of Davidson's relationships are rumored — like Cline — here is what Davidson's exes have said about him on the record.
Chase Sui Wonders
Chase Sui Wonders and Pete Davidson were first linked together when they appeared alongside one another in the 2022 breakout hit "Bodies Bodies Bodies." The couple played romantic partners in the horror flick and later played a couple again for Davidson's series "Bupkis."
Martha Stewart seemingly confirmed that the two were dating in April, when she shared a pic of her with Davidson and Wonders, calling them a "very cute couple" in her caption.
Wonders lent insight into her relationship with the comedian in a May interview with Nylon.
During the interview, Wonders called their dynamic "sacred."
“(Pete and I) became fast friends on ‘Bodies,’ and it was just clear that we could work together super well. He’s such a pro, and acting with him is my favorite thing,” Wonders said. “As soon as I got onto ‘Bupkis,’ it felt like we were flowing again. The relationship’s a lot less toxic in ‘Bupkis’ than it is in ‘Bodies,’ which is a lot more fun to play. But even in ‘Bodies,’ we would do all those dark scenes and then we’d be like, ‘This s--t’s crazy! This is so dark.’”
Wonders further described what it was like dating a high-profile actor whose name often appears in headlines.
“We talk about everything, and we are very open with each other about everything, and it feels like what’s happening in our relationship is very sacred,” Wonders explained. “The first initial shock was super disorienting, but after that it just becomes ... it’s like a video game.”
Davidson has also spoken about Wonders. In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight," the comedian complimented her acting talent and what she brought to "Bupkis."
“She’s the best actress,” Davidson said of Wonders. “She’s gonna crush. She’s got a lot of cool stuff going so... I had a blast.”
Emily Ratajkowski
The model and "Gone Girl "actor was linked to Davidson soon after his split with Kim Kardashian. Rumors flew after the two were spotted at Knicks game together in November 2022.
In April, Ratajkowski touched briefly on their relationship in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
“Even my friends were like, ‘What was that like?’” she told the outlet. “I actually don’t understand it. People are so perplexed by the idea that a man might just be respectful to women and treat them like people and thus be easy to go out on dates with.”
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson shared a kiss onscreen when the reality star hosted "Saturday Night Live" in October 2021 ... and a relationship grew from there. After nine months of dating, they called it quits. This is what Kardashian said about their time together.
Kardashian recalled how she met Davidson
After fans spent months wondering how Kardashian and Davidson met, the SKIMS founder finally spilled the beans during Season One, Episode Eight, of her Hulu show, “The Kardashians.”
“So this is how it went down with Pete,” Kardashian said in a confessional. “I did ‘SNL,’ and then when we kissed in scene. It was just a vibe and I was like, ‘Oh s---. Maybe I just need to try something different.’ But Pete does not come to my after-party,” she recalled. “Everyone was at my after-party.”
He “does not give me the time of day,” Kardashian continued. “So a few days later, I called the producer at ‘SNL’ and I was like, ‘Hey, do you have Pete’s number?’ And they were like, ‘Yeah,’ and I text him. I wasn’t even thinking like, ‘Oh my God, I’m going to be in a relationship with him.’ I was just thinking like: Heard about this BDE, need to get out there ... I was just basically DTF.”
She called Davidson a 'good, good person'
On Season One, Episode Nine, of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian spoke about their bond with Davidson.
“Pete is such a good, good person. I can’t even explain it,” she said. “He just has the best heart and always thinks of the small things."
Once, he suggested a date to the ice cream shop inside Rite Aid convenience stores, and it was exactly what she wanted.
"Pete was like, ‘Babe, let’s go get some ice cream at Thrifty,’ and I was like, ‘Oh my God, you are making me so f---ing horny.’ Rite Aid? Thrifty? It was literally like one of the best nights of my life.”
Kardashian loved to do 'nothing' with Davidson
During an April interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kardashian spoke about her then-boyfriend's "genuine" nature and said that, "it’s just super fun to just hang out and do nothing, then watch TV and just do nothing" with Davidson.
Ariana Grande
Davidson and Grande had a whirlwind romance. The pair got engaged in June 2018 after a few weeks of dating and later broke up in October of that same year.
Grande said she 'loved' Davidson and 'didn't know him'
In a July 2019 interview with Vogue, Grande described her whirlwind romance with Davidson the summer before. She said they met after her friends convinced her to move to New York.
She said, “My friends were like, ‘Come! We’re gonna have a fun summer.’ And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction."
"It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn’t know him," Grande said of Davidson. "I’m like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist. I still don’t trust myself with the life stuff.”
She dedicated an entire song to him
"Pete Davidson" is one of the songs on the 2018 album "Sweetener" — the first song.
The song is about cosmic timing: "I thought you into my life, woah / Look at my mind, yeah / No better place or a time / Look how they align / Universe must have my back." She calls Davidson her "soulmate" in the song, singing, "My whole life got me ready for you."
And also sang about him in 'Thank U, Next'
In Grande’s 2019 song, "Thank U, Next," released after the breakup, sang about her past relationships and mentioned her romance with Davison.
The "Into You" singer sang, “Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match / Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh / Even almost got married / And for Pete, I’m so thankful / Wish I could say 'thank you' to Malcolm / ‘Cause he was an angel."
She also left a little ... hint about her relationship with Davidson in the music video for the song. She's seen turning the pages of a "burn book," created in the style of Regina George's in "Mean Girls."
Grande had a page dedicated to Davidson and it said, "sry I dipped," and "I love u always."
Grande also wrote Davidson's first name in a heart along with the word “HUUUUGE" at the bottom of the page.
Cazzie David
Davidson dated comedian Larry David’s daughter, writer and comedian Cazzie David. After two and a half years of dating, Davidson, then 24, confirmed they had broken up on Complex’s "Open Late with Peter Rosenberg."
“We’re not together anymore ... very talented girl, she’ll be great and she’ll be fine,” he shared. “Yeah, I think she’ll be okay.”
David said that Davidson broke up with her via text
In her 2020 book, "No One Asked for This," David opened up about her relationship with Davidson. She said she broke up with him, then tried to reconcile with him days later, according to the Los Angeles Times.
But Davidson told her that he was the “the happiest he had ever been" and ended up breaking up with her two days later in a text message.
Two days later, Davidson wrote in her book that she saw a photo of Davidson and Grande.
“The first thing I saw was a picture he’d uploaded of himself with his hand covering his face to show off his new finger tattoos,” she wrote. “My name, which had been written in cursive across his ring finger, was now covered over with black ink.”
She later noticed other similarities, like Davidson wearing Grande's hair tie on her wrist, just like he used to do with her.
“He used to always take my hair ties off my arm and put them on so he could ‘wear a piece of’ me,” David wrote. “I felt like I was being terrorized ... was he just repeating everything I’d thought had made our relationship special with someone else one day later?”
David said, in the interview to the Los Angeles Times, that she didn't take the news all too well. While taking a plane to her sister's graduation, David said she “shook uncontrollably" in her dad's arms for "the entire flight," and woke up from a nap “screaming in agony."
“It was a really pivotal moment in my life,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “And writing about it has caused me a ton of anxiety, especially because I talk so much about hating the attention it brought me. Why would I bring more attention to myself by writing about it? But there’s nothing that’s gonna be worse than what I already experienced with that.”
Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson were linked in 2019. Beckinsale confirmed the relationship in an interview with the Los Angeles Times while they were together.
“I’m surprised by the interest,” she said. “I’ve never been in this position before — never dated anybody who comes with their own bag of mischief. It’s all quite shocking, and something to get used to. I think if you liked the person less, you would bow out of it. If that were the main thrust of the relationship, there would be a problem. But it’s not.”
In 2021, amid rumors that he was dating Kardashian, Beckinsale liked an Instagram post of a screenshot of a tweet positing why Davidson has attracted so many women. "Everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality," the tweet read.
Kardashian, on her end, said something similar on "The Kardashians": “Pete has the best heart. I feel like people have this idea of him that he dates all these hot girls — and he does. (But) he is just the sweetest [and] most thoughtful person.”
