From his success on Saturday Night Live to his very prolific dating history.

Most recently, Davidson was tied to Knives Out 2 actor Madelyn Cline. Nonetheless, in the spirit of a rat boy summer, here's an illustrated guide to all of Pete Davidson's girlfriends, wives, situationships, and beyond. Read on.
Carly Aquilino
MTV’s Girl Code comedian Carly Aquilino had a brief fling with Davidson in 2015. Although the pair only dated for a few months, they left a long trail of cute couple shots on Instagram.
Cazzie David
Cazzie David, another girl hailing from the world of comedy as Larry David’s daughter, was Davidson’s first long-term relationship in the public eye. Their relationship began in May 2016 and ended in 2018, shortly before he started dating Ariana Grande. In 2020, David cited mental health struggles as the cause of their split in her essay collection “No One Asked For This.”
Ariana Grande
Perhaps Davidson’s most notorious romance, the couple began dating in May 2018. After this, Grande treated the Internet to a song in his name, couples tattoos, and hints about his sexual vitality. The passion between the two was so strong that they became engaged only a few weeks later. Unfortunately, that passion fizzled after calling off the engagement in October 2018.
Kate Beckinsale
Another short but sweet connection, Davidson and seasoned actress Kate Beckinsdale dated in early 2019. Their relationship seemed to be confirmed by their many instances of PDA, notably at a New York Rangers game in March of that year. Only a month later in April it was over.
Margaret Qualley
In a summertime love, Davidson began dating Margaret Qualley, an actress and daughter of Andie MacDowell in August 2019. It was certainly a seasonal affair after they split up in October 2019.
Kaia Gerber
Davidson dated model and daughter of Cindy Crawford Kaia Gerber subsequent to his break up with Qualley. The relationship ended in 2020 after Davidson’s self admission into rehab.
Phoebe Dynevor
In a surprising turn of events, Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor shared a short relationship with Davidson for five months from April to August 2021. It is speculated the cause of their split was the long distance between the two, with Dynevor living in the UK and Davidson living in NYC.
Kim Kardashian
For most of 2022 Davidson’s love life, Kim Kardashian was at the center of it. After sharing a kiss as Jasmine and Aladdin in an SNL skit, the couple’s relationship accelerated much to the surprise of the general public. Though they denied dating rumors, the romantic Staten Island dinner Davidson arranged for her seemed to suggest something a little more serious. Their relationship was confirmed in November 2021 and unfortunately ended nine months later in August 2022
Emily Ratajkowski
Only a few months after his split from Kardashian, the comedian has already been spotted back in the dating scene. According to the Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi, Davidson was allegedly spotted on a date with model Emily Ratajkowski in early November. After being spotted together on Davidson's birthday, a source from Davidson's camp told People that the two are "seeing each other."
On November 27, the pair were spotted smiling and sitting courtside at the New York Knicks game, seeming to confirm the relationship rumors. However, just a month later, Davidson and Ratajkowski's relationship has already come to an end. The short-lived couple was reported to have parted ways in late December 2022.
Chase Sui Wonders
After playing love interests in the film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, the pair have been spotted out together on a number of occasions, causing speculation about whether their on-screen romance has translated into an off-screen connection. Earlier this year, Davidson and Sui were spotted on a romantic getaway in Hawaii, seemingly confirming their couple status.
In May 2023, Sui revealed to Nylon of her and Davidson's relationship: "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." Evidently, the two were head-over-heels for one another.
But the romance has now come to an end as the two reportedly broke up in August 2023.
Madelyn Cline
A month after splitting from Chase Sui Wonders, Davidson started dating actress Madelyn Cline according to US Weekly.
"Pete and Madelyn are dating. They spent the night together at the Beverly Hills Hotel and then had breakfast together there the next morning,” a source revealed. Davidson and the Outer Banks star seemed to be hitting things off with a comfortable romance "They were really low-key and kept things casual, wearing baseball hats."
While the two kept things mostly private, they were said to be "very much in love," according to US Weekly. “One of the reasons their relationship works so well is because they’re both independent and give each other space to miss each other.”
Unfortunately, on July 9th, the pair officially broke up, turning Davidson's focus back to his career and leaving Cline to work on a reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer after a captivating 4th season of Outer Banks. A source told the U.S. Sun, "They ended things fairly recently, and I understand it was amicable."
Soon afterward, Davidson underwent a brief stay in rehab because he had "become a ghost to his circle of friends." Davidson left rehab after only two weeks but still appears to be taking some time to work on himself as his first single summer in years drags on.
