In a candid interview on the Real Ones with Jon Bernthal podcast, comedian Pete Davidson opened up about his personal life and the public’s fascination with his high-profile relationships. The 29-year-old actor addressed the interest surrounding his dating history, stating that he has dated around 10 people in his 12-year-long career in show business, which he does not find particularly interesting.
Pete explained that he was thrown into the “zeitgeist” without any correlation to his work, which he finds a “really s***ty feeling.”
Pete also clarified that he did not meet the people he dated via social media or direct messages. Instead, he met them at work, citing Hollywood as one of the five epicentres where people meet. The SNL star has previously dated Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Carly Aquilino, Cazzie David, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, and Emily Ratajkowski. He is currently dating Chase Sui Wonders.
Despite being a known figure in the entertainment industry for over a decade, Pete expressed his frustration that the media’s focus was more on his personal life than his work. However, he recognizes that being a public figure comes with its pros and cons.
