Pete Davidson spills the beans on dating Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale and Kaia Gerber in Charlamagne interview
In a rare open interview with radio presenter Charlamagne Tha God, 'Saturday Night Live' member and comedian Pete Davidson opened up about his past relationships. The comedian is known for dating some high-profile women including singer Ariana Grande, actress Kate Beckinsale, and Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber.
When asked about what Davidson had learned about relationships in general, he replied, "I think you grow a lot as a person. I've learned a lot from the awesome chicks that I've been with, and they're all cool. So I think you just grow, you become a better version of yourself because you learn a little something from everybody."
He joked that "people only know me for my d**k," yet said that he feels fortunate to have dated some "really wonderful, beautiful, cool, talented women."
He admitted that he won't be "dating for a while," adding, "I don't love breakups, but it definitely, like, fuels me to get better and be better. I'm deep, deep f***ed up. I should figure some of that out."
When Charlamagne joked that Davidson meets "the love of [his] life every six months," Davidson replied, "What can I say? I love love, but I'm pretty done with that. I'm going to try and stay away from that. It's just a lot."
He continued, "I love being in a relationship. I love doing stuff and Netflixing and hanging out, going out to dinner. I love that shit. It makes me really happy. Also, it's an escape from life when you have, like, a partner. It's fun... It's nice to have a lady around."
Davidson had kind words to say in detail about each of his famous exes like fellow comedian Carly Aquilino, 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' actress Margaret Qualley and Larry David's daughter, Cazzie David.
On Ariana Grande whom he dated in 2018, Pete referred to her Grammy performance of '7 Things' wherein she took off a ring and put it in a box, saying, "She's the queen of shade. I get it. That's her job... She has music to it, I get it. I hope people feel the same way about my jokes."
Davidson also opened up about helping the singer through her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's death in September 2018. He said, "I think I said, like, 'I'll be here until you don't want me to be here,'" adding that, "I pretty much knew it was over around after that. That was really horrible and I can't imagine what that shit is like. That shit is just terrible. All I do know is that she really loved the shit out of him and she wasn't putting on a show or anything. That was f**ked up and prayers to his family and all of his friends, still."
From January to April 2019, Davidson dated Kate Beckinsale, who is 20 years his senior. Davidson called their romance "f***ing legendary," adding that all of his uncles "freaked out." He said that Beckinsale was "one of the funniest people [he's] ever met."
When asked why he didn't think their relationship worked out, Davidson said, "it just wasn't the right time." He said, "I think I was going into another rehab. I must have a pattern, I wasn't right yet and she had a lot of acting and work to do, she's a superstar."
Davidson last dated Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford's 18-year-old daughter, who is a model and actress. He said Gerber was "beautiful" and "smart," adding, "If anyone was worried that I was too smart or like advanced for her, they do not have to worry at all. She was way smarter than I was."
However, Davidson admitted it wasn't the "right time, place or the right time" on their relationship. "We were dating for a few months and she's very young and I'm f***ing going through a lot," he admitted. He continued, "She should be having fun and shit. She shouldn't have to worry about some dude who has issues and shit."
