Hollywood lothario Pete Davidson is continuing his lucky streak with A-list ladies after catching the eye of newly-single bombshell Emily Ratajkowski. 

The former SNL comedian, 28, and the model, 31, are said to be ‘in the very early stages’ of dating and ‘really like each other’. 

They ‘have been talking for a couple months now’ after being set up by mutual friends, a source told Us Weekly. 

The insider further divulged that Pete ‘loves how intelligent [Emily] is,’ while the funnyman’s humor is a big plus for the runway star: ‘Pete makes Emily laugh.’

Pete – who was once praised for his ‘big d**k energy’ by ex Ariana Grande, 29 –  has been romantically linked to vast list of Hollywood women.

MailOnline takes a look back over the comedian’s relationship history with a whole host of famous faces over the years.

CARLY AQUILINO (2014-2015)

Prior to his rise to fame on Saturday Night Live, Pete dated Carly when they starred together on MTV’s Guy Code and Girl Code. 

Although the romance didn’t work out, Pete and Carly stayed friends and he later described her as ‘one of the coolest chicks I’ve ever met’ and said they still ‘hang out all the time’ following the split.

Years later when he got engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018, Carly wrote of their romance in a post to Instagram, ‘I know I’m the 9 billionth person to text you today about this, but…I can’t’.

Carly also co-starred in Pete’s film The King of Staten Island, which he wrote the screenplay for in 2020.

CAZZIE DAVID (2016–2018) 

Pete’s first long-time relationship was with Cazzie, who is the daughter of comedian Larry David. 

They began dating in May 2016 for two years and and made several public appearances together, before Pete confirmed their split in May 2018.

He told Complex: ‘We’re not together anymore. Very talented girl, she’ll be great and she’ll be fine. Yeah, I think she’ll be OK.’ 

Following their break up, Cazzie penned a emotional essay About Their Breakup, in which she revealed she had immediately regretted the breakup.

She said that she tried to get in touch with Pete but he texted her saying he was ‘happier than he’d ever been’ and split from her for good.

She also spoke about their mental health struggles through their relationship and revealed that Pete began dating Ariana Grande soon after their breakup.

Cazzie said she struggled with the high profile nature of Pete’s next relationship, explaining: ”It was a really pivotal moment in my life. 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.’

ARIANA GRANDE (2018)

In the same month he split from Cazzie, Pete began dating singer Ariana, catapulting him to new levels of fame and scrutiny.

The couple moved very quickly and they became engaged after only a matter of weeks of dating.

However, as rapidly as things began they also fell apart, and the pair broke up in October 2018 after just five months together.

Pete admitted he ‘knew it was over’ after Ariana was left grieving the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller. 

Ariana later mentioned Pete in her hit single ‘Thank U, Next’ singing: ‘Even almost got married/ And for Pete I’m so thankful’. 

Pete covered up his neck tattoo dedicated to the hitmaker and wished her well during an episode of SNL, saying: ‘She’s a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world’.

KATE BECKINSALE (2019) 

Pete then moved on with actress Kate Beckinsale, who was twenty years his senior, sparking romance rumours at the Golden Globes in January 2019 after they were spotted flirting at an afterparty.

They confirmed the news that they were seeing each other by making out at a New York Rangers game in March that year. 

A source told In Touch that Pete was ‘an exciting breath of fresh air’ for Kate, while Pete admitted the age difference ‘never bothered’ them.

However, the relationship came to an end in April of that year, with an insider blaming the intense public attention as the reason behind the split.

They said: ”Even though Kate has been in Hollywood for a long time, she struggled with the attention on her relationship with Pete. He lives his life with his heart on his sleeve.’

MARGARET QUALLEY (2019)

Shortly after parting ways with Kate, Pete was linked to actress Margaret Qualley. 

A source told Us: ‘They’ve been seeing each other for a couple of months and Margaret is really excited about him.’ 

The couple was spotted on a romantic outing in Venice, Italy while the actress was in town promoting her film Seberg. 

Margaret’s mother actress Andie MacDowell said of the couple: ‘She has a beautiful relationship with him but I don’t want to step on her relationship too much. They have a nice relationship.’ 

It didn’t appear to be a serious romance however, with the pair reportedly dating for just two months between August and October 2019. 

KAIA GERBER (2019–2020)

Pete quickly moved on from Margaret to date model Kaia Gerber, who is the daughter of Cindy Crawford. 

The pair were seen holding hands a few times and even went on a romantic getaway to Miami.

But it was reported by Page Six at the time that Kaia’s famous parents hope that the relationship would ‘fizzle out’.

They got their wish when the whirlwind romance came to an end after just three months in January 2020. 

At the time Pete was going through a lot of mental health struggles and shortly after he sought treatment Sierra Tucson treatment center in Arizona.

When asked about their split during an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, he confirmed they dated ‘for a few months’ but said she was ‘very young’ and he was going ‘through a lot.’ 

He added: ‘It just wasn’t the right place or the right time at all.’

PHOEBE DYNEVOR (2021)

Bridgerton star Phoebe and Pete confirmed their romance in April 2021 when they were spotted on a stroll in Stoke. 

Rumours were swirling in about their relationship status in weeks before the sighting. A source told People that Pete is ‘telling friends he is serious about Phoebe’. 

Speculation of the relationship began in March when Pete was snapped visiting Phoebe’s native Manchester while she visited New York, where he lives, in February. 

When someone asked the comedian who his celebrity crush was during a Zoom call with Marquette University students, he responded: ‘I’m with my celebrity crush.’

He added: ‘That is all I can speak on.’ 

In August, they broke up after trying to make things work long distance ‘put a strain’ on their relationship, with Pete living in New York while Phoebe lives in England.

KIM KARDASHIAN (2021-2022) 

The spark of Pete’s relationship with Kim Kardashian began when they kissed on camera during her hosting debut on SNL in October 2021.

The couple had secretive meetings through the rest of the year, including private dinners and a trip to a movie after Pete rented out a theater at his favorite multiplex on Staten Island.

But a source at the time claimed that they were ‘just friends’ saying: ‘They hang in the same circles, so they will be together from time to time. It’s just friends hanging out.’ 

The lovebirds finally went red carpet official in 2022 and were practically inseparable, with Pete eventually appearing on her new reality series The Kardashians.

But the two were the subject of harassing social media posts from Kim’s ex Kanye West through much of their relationship.

Although the two had appeared as loved-up as ever, they were reported to have split on August 5 after being kept apart by their disparate work schedules.
