Pete Davidson has never been known as a heartbreaker.
Fans don't gush over the comedian for his looks, body or romantic gestures.
But his relationships, breakups, and scandals involving other celebrities have been at the
center of pop culture for years, which has led many to wonder: why do women find Pete
Davidson so attractive?
Pete Davidson began his career in the early 2010s.
At that time, he dated TV personality, Carly Aquilino.
The two were very quiet about their romance, but we’ll remember one funny moment forever:
Carly's reaction to one of Pete's relationships.
When Davidson began dating singer Ariana Grande, Aquilino shared a screenshot in her Instagram
Story.
The screenshot showed a message from a friend who said "I know I'm the 9 billionth person
to text you today about this, but…
I can't."
What was Aquilino's response?
Well, she just laughed in all caps.
Carly captioned the post "My day in a text message".
Jokes aside, we hope all is well between the exes.
As for Pete and Ariana's relationship, more on that later!
The comedian then dated scriptwriter and actress Cazzie David.
During their romance, Pete struggled with sobriety.
In 2017, Davidson announced he was sober and thanked his girlfriend and friends for supporting
him.
However, one year later, the couple broke things off.
When he announced the split, the comedian said of Cazzie, "Very talented girl, she'll
be great and she'll be fine."
As amicable as this sounds, the breakup was hard on David, who opened up about it in her
collection of essays "No One Asked for This."
The scriptwriter explained that they both were dealing with mental health struggles.
At the time, she was afraid of ending things with Pete because "previously, self-harm and
suicide threats had come about from trivial circumstances."
When Cazzie finally split from the comic, she regretted it a few days later.
When she tried to get back together, he told her that he was the happiest he'd ever been.
Two days later, he dumped David definitely through a text message.
The next day, the actress found out Pete was dating Ariana Grande and had already covered
up his tattoos from the relationship.
The news was very hard on Cazzie, who confessed that she imagined her ex and Ariana "Immediately
falling in love, accompanied by audio of her baby voice whispering sweet nothings in his
ear, dubbed over his past declarations of love and trust to me."
Wow.
Fortunately, the two were able to overcome the breakup and are now friends again.
As for Pete's romance with Ariana, the singer had also gotten out of a relationship shortly
before it began.
In fact, Grande met Davidson because her friends had convinced her to spend the summer in New
York after her breakup with rapper Mac Miller.
Ariana and Pete were first spotted together backstage at the 2018 Billboard Awards.
A source told People magazine, "She seemed quite smitten."
The celebs soon started going out on very public dates.
They were also very flirty on Instagram!
Although insiders told People Magazine that the relationship was casual, Davidson got
a neck tattoo referencing Ari's single "No Tears Left to Cry".
He also got the musician's initials tattooed on his hand.
Grande wasn't shy when talking about more…
private matters.
A fan asked the singer on Twitter how long "Pete" was, referring to Ariana's interlude
of the same name.
Ari responded, "Like 10 inches?
…oh f—…i mean…like a lil over a minute."
The more you know!
After a few weeks of dating, a source confirmed that the couple was engaged.
This person claimed that the pair "Found love quickly and make each other happy all the
time."
Then, tragedy struck.
In September 2018, Mac Miller died of an accidental overdose.
He was 26 years old.
Ariana was devastated by the news.
She has described her grieving process as "all-consuming".
Grande expressed her sorrow on social media and even pleaded for "one okay day" in a series
of emotional tweets.
In an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Pete revealed how Mac's death affected his
relationship with
the singer.
At the time, he told Ariana that he would be there for her.
“I'll be here until you don't want me to be here.”
Davidson confessed that he knew their romance was over after that.
"She really loved the s--- out of him and she wasn't putting on a show or anything,"
he continued.
Pete and Ariana split in October, less than two months later.
A source close to the music star told People Magazine, "It was way too much too soon.
It's not shocking to anyone."
Other insiders told TMZ that the split was mutual since both stars knew the timing was
just not right.
Soon after breaking things off, Davidson joked about his whirlwind engagement on "Saturday
Night Live".
Grande did not take this well and accused him of
clinging to relevancy on Twitter.
She followed it with the words "Thank u, next."
Weeks later, Grande released her "Thank U, Next" music video.
The song talks about being thankful for what past relationships have taught you, and the
video includes references to the singer's exes.
In one scene, Ariana is flipping through an album.
There is a page dedicated to Davidson, where she wrote, "Sry I dipped" (Reference: Sorry
I dipped) and expressed her love for him.
The word "HUUUUUGE" was written in all caps, referencing their intimate life once again.
In a cover interview for Vogue, the grammy award winner discussed her romance with Davidson
saying, "It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and
I didn't know him."
Pete addressed these comments in his Netflix standup special "Pete Davidson: Alive from
New York", claiming that his career would be over if he just "started s******g on my
ex."
Shortly after his split from Grande, Davidson found happines again with actress Kate Beckinsale.
The couple had a 20-year age gap, which the comedian opened up about.
Pete said that although people seemed fascinated by it, it didn't really bother them both.
However, the pair broke up after just a few months.
Some sources claimed that it was because of the long distance, while another insider said
that Kate struggled with the attention the relationship received.
Davidson went on to have other short-lived relationships, one with actress Margaret Qualley
and another one with model Kaia Gerber.
During his interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Pete explained why he and Kaia didn't
work out.
"I'm f------ going through a lot and it was before I went to rehab.
She shouldn't have to worry about some dude that just has issues and s---," he confessed.
In early 2020, Davidson revealed that he went to a rehabilitation facility.
Pete went on to praise his ex and said that it wasn't the right place or time.
In early 2021, the comedian had another short fling, this time with "Bridgerton" actress
Phoebe Dynevor.
The two were very into each other, and Pete even said, "I'm with my celebrity crush" during
a Zoom call.
Phoebe and Pete split in August, and the comic went on to have one of his most talked-about
romances: his relationship with Kim Kardashian.
In October 2021, Davidson and Kardashian starred together in a "Saturday night Live" skit,
where they shared a kiss.
Months later, Kim opened up about the moment during an interview.
"It was like like…a little zing, you know?"
Shortly after, the couple was spotted holding hands on a California rollercoaster.
Then, Kim traveled to New York.
They even went on a Bahamas vacation together!
However, neither of them had confirmed their relationship yet.
Finally, Pete called Kim his girlfriend during an interview with People Magazine.
He also got a tattoo that said, "My girl is a lawyer" in her honor.
The couple was at the center of very public and adorable moments.
In her reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians", Kim confessed that she didn't initially want
a relationship with the comedian.
"I was just thinking about his BDE."
BDE meaning "Big Dick Energy."
As fun as Pete and Kim's relationship seemed, her ex-husband's involvement brought out some
disturbing moments.
Kim's ex, Kanye West, had publicly said he wanted to get back together with her and went
on to hate on her relationship with Davidson.
In his song "Eazy", Kanye sings "I can beat Pete Davidson's ass."
In the music video, he kidnaps, decapitates and buries alive an animated clay version
of the comedian.
Kanye also shared a series of edits of him and Davidson on Instagram and urged fans to
“scream at the loser at the top of their lungs” if they ever saw him with Kim.
After Kardashian told the rapper she was scared of his behavior, West asked fans not to do
"anything physical" to Pete.
In August 2022, People magazine confirmed that Pete and Kim had split.
An insider told the magazine part of the reason was the stars' busy schedules.
In late 2022, Davidson was seen with actress and model Emily Ratajkowsk.
Their first official public appearance was at a Knicks' basketball game in November.
A source told E!News that the model is "super into" Pete.
"It's a chill relationship so far.
There's no pressure to make it exclusive, but she really likes him," they added.
Emily recently got out of a 4-year marriage that ended with a cheating scandal.
Who knows, maybe Pete could be the one that helps her believe in love again!
Only time will tell.
Many wonder why Davidson, who is not known for being a heartthrob, is so successful when
it comes to dating.
Luckily, the women he's been with can shed some light on the matter.
In an interview with Seth Meyers, Ratajkowski explained why she found Pete attractive, saying
that he's vulnerable, lovely, has a good relationship with his mother, and even has awesome fingernail
polish!
Meanwhile, Kim has described Davidson saying, "Pete has the best heart.
He's just the sweetest, most thoughtful person."
Davidson himself joked about the situation during a standup performance.
He compared himself to movies like Tropic Thunder, which are classics but are typically
found in the discount DVD bin.
"I'm the diamond in the trash," he joked.
Even if Pete doesn't match the stereotypical definition of an attractive man, it's clear
that women appreciate how sweet and vulnerable he is.
It's great to see different depictions of attractiveness!
Here at Rumour Juice, we are happy the comedian seems to be finding love again and wish him
the best.
