Pete Davidson, an American comedian, actor, and writer, earned fame for Saturday Night Live for eight seasons in the audience’s eyes. This guy’s got a knack for making himself the butt of the joke, and he’s known for writing and acting in his autobiography, “The King of Staten Island (2020).” For years, Pete Davidson’s love life has fascinated the public. The comedian has had high-profile relationships, publicly getting engaged and privately breaking up. Here is a look back at Davidson’s dating history.
Cazzie David
Davidson’s first long-term public relationship was with writer and actress Cazzie David, daughter of comedian Larry David. The two dated for roughly two years, from 2016 to 2018. In her book, “No One Asked For This,” David talked about, on her account of anxiety issues and having to support Davidson through mental health issues, their breakup.
Ariana Grande
After the breakup with Cazzie, Davidson entered into a widely publicized relationship with pop icon Ariana Grande in the spring of 2018. Their romance quickly escalated to an engagement just a couple of weeks following their initial dates. However, in October 2018, the fast-paced relationship ended abruptly. Reports suggest that the relationship suffered from the sudden death of Grande’s former boyfriend, Mac Miller, and ultimately, this event caused Davidson and Grande to break up.
Kate Beckinsale
In early 2019, Pete Davidson was dating Kate Beckinsale. There was a lot of media buzz because she was 20 years older than him. They were together for a few months and went to some events together before they split up in April 2019.
Margaret Qualley and Kaia Gerber
Davidson then had relationships with two up-and-coming stars. He dated actress Margaret Qualley in the fall of 2019, and after that, he had a short fling with model Kaia Gerber. The relationship with Gerber ended in early 2020 when he went to rehab.
Phoebe Dynevor
After his split with Beckinsale, Davidson was involved with a couple of up-and-coming celebs. First, he dated actress Margaret Qualley in fall 2019, and then he had a short thing with model Kaia Gerber. The romance with Gerber ended in early 2020 when he went to rehab. In 2021, Davidson and Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor were together. They dated for around five months, but the distance got in the way since Davidson was in New York and Dynevor lived in the U.K.
Kim Kardashian
People talked a lot about Pete Davidson’s relationship with Kim Kardashian. They started dating in late 2021 after she hosted Saturday Night Live. They were together for nine months and broke up in August 2022. Sources said the split was because of their busy schedules and the difficulty of a long-distance relationship.
Chase Sui Wonders and Madelyn Cline
After breaking up with Kardashian, Davidson dated Chase Sui Wonders, his co-star in “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” for around eight months in 2023. After that, he was seeing actress Madelyn Cline, but they broke up in the summer of 2024, according to reports.
Elsie Hewitt
As of July 2025, Pete Davidson is dating Elsie Hewitt, who is a model and actress. They were first seen together in March 2025 and have announced they are expecting their first baby. They live together in New York and appeared on the red carpet as a couple in May 2025. Both Davidson and Hewitt are happy and have shared their excitement about starting this new part of their lives.
