Saturday Night Live was the breakout for Pete Davidson. Joining the long-running sketch comedy show in 2014, Davidson spent eight seasons on the show. During that time, he also became known for other things. As much as we would like to credit those other things as other acting performances, like Set It Up and King Of Staten Island, sadly we cannot. Davidson became known for his varied dating life and his reportedly giant dick.
Perhaps his most famous relationship was his nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian. Reportedly blossoming from an on-screen kiss during Kim’s 2021 SNL host slot, the relationship dominated headlines. The pair parted ways in 2022, but apparently remain on good terms. That will play a major factor as Davidson prepares to host SNL on May 6.
Pete Davidson will be the next guest host of SNL when the show returns from a one-week hiatus on May 6. It is Davidson’s first time hosting since he left the show in 2022. He is the fourth SNL alum to host during the current season, following Molly Shannon, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. The current season has also featured Ana de Armas, Megan Thee Stallion, Aubrey Plaza, and Jenna Ortega as hosts. The most watched episode of the season was the one hosted by Martin and Short, which also featured musical guest Brandi Carlile. It is the only episode of the season to break five million viewers. The show hit that mark three times in the prior season. Davidson’s appearance is expected to be a major ratings bump for the show.
However, Davidson will not be joking about his most famous ex during skits or his monologue. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, both parties had agreed to “move on” after the break-up, which is why Kardashian isn’t mentioned in Davidson’s stand-up routines. Furthermore, the source told the gossip outlet that Davidson wants to be a “good sport” and “perfect gentleman” during his hosting, which means not joking about his ex. The musical guest for Davdison’s episode will be Lil Uzi Vert. However, whether Davidson’s pledge remains the case will have to be seen on May 6.
Ever since becoming a key member of Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson has created a reputation for himself in the industry. He joined the cast in 2014 as one of the youngest members in history at only 20 years old. This was a prime time for not only kickstarting his career, but also his dating life. Davidson quickly found himself with an abundance of opportunities for success as a comedian, giving him the ultimate spotlight.
Pete Davidson has been known for his many girlfriends since his rise to fame. It is easy to speculate that this is due to his unique sense of humor, an attribute that many women look for in a partner’s personality. People tend to claim his appeal is a mystery, with his looks being somewhat of a controversy. Nonetheless, he has been associated with a long list of beautiful women.

Long Island comedian Carly Aquilino was reportedly the first woman to be in a relationship with Davidson after his career debut on SNL. She is mainly known for her role in the comedy series Girl Code on MTV. Things never became serious and they ultimately dated for a short period of time. This was his first high-profile relationship and it certainly was not his last.

This name may sounds familiar, and that’s because Cazzie David is the daughter of very famous comedian Larry David. Over the years, David has only starred in a handful of productions including Hannah Montana and the third season of The Umbrella Academy. Their relationship was Pete Davidson’s longest and most serious one. Shockingly, it came out that he broke up with her through text just days prior to her discovering his new relationship (to be discussed next).

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande’s relationship is one of his most well-known by far. In May of 2018, their relationship was announced, and the following June they confirmed an engagement. This relationship was surprisingly short and moved ridiculously fast. By October of that year, the engagement had been called off and their exciting fling was over.
Grande has made sure to keep these memories in stone through her music. Her 2018 album Sweetener contains an entire song for him titled “Pete Davidson”. Despite this, he is most famously known for being mentioned in her hit song “Thank U, Next”. This song allowed for fans to witness closure of their relationship as they both moved on to other people.
2019: Kate Beckinsale
Davidson had quite the controversial romance following his dramatic breakup just months before. He and British actress Kate Beckinsale made their red carpet debut at the 2019 Golden Globes. They quickly received harsh criticism for their twenty year age gap, though they appeared unbothered. Their relationship only lasted for a matter of months before his next dating adventure.

Pete Davidson and Margaret Qualley had merely a fling. They were spotted in Venice, Italy in promotion of her film, “Seberg”, allowing the relationship to make its way onto social media. The lovebirds had what seemed to be a good bond, but they ultimately split due to their busy schedules. Qualley and Davidson officially ended their relationship a few short months later that October.

He soon found himself in another short relationship with model Kaia Gerber from the end of 2019 to January 2020. It had been reported that Gerber found his mental health issues to be too overwhelming. She also decided to end it due to him being too old for her. Their relationship was a brief one, but still posted all over social media at the time.

Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor dated Pete Davidson for about five months before ending their relationship. They tried to maintain a long-distance relationship but it inevitably failed, between the distance and their crazy schedules as two people in the industry. They kept things casual and tried to focus on their work, which turned into a lack of time for one another. The distance between New York and the U.K. was just too far.

In October 2021, Kim Kardashian hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live while Pete Davidson was still a part of the cast. During this episode they shared an on-screen kiss while playing Jasmine and Aladdin in a Disney sketch, sparking the beginning of their nine-month relationship. This relationship was heavily broadcasted all over the internet, and since she had just split from controversial rapper Kanye West, drama began to uproar rapidly. After being together for nearly nine-months, they officially split and Davidson supposedly got his tattoos for her removed.

During one of his most recent flings, Pete Davidson shared some time with Gone Girl actress Emily Ratajkowski. She had expressed interest for him through social media which quickly led to them starting a relationship, but quickly parted ways. They only dated for the last two months of 2022. She later mentioned on a podcast that he was one of the worst men to date.
