Pete Davidson Thriving and Single as He Maintains Surprising Friendship with Exes

Comedian Pete Davidson, 30, has navigated high-profile romances with remarkable grace, maintaining harmony with nearly all his former partners. After checking into a mental health facility over the summer, Davidson is reportedly “back in the swing of things” and thriving as a single man. According to a source who spoke with People, “He looks better and healthier than he’s ever looked, and he’s feeling happy.”

Davidson, known for his relationships with celebrity stars, was last linked to Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline. The two dated for around 10 months before parting ways in July. Before Cline, Davidson had a relationship with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders, which began in December 2022 but ended in August 2023. Both relationships ended amicably, and insiders say Davidson and Cline separated simply because “it just ran its course.”

His romantic past includes a well-publicized nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian, during which he found himself in a public feud with Kardashian’s ex-husband, Kanye West. The couple made several high-profile appearances together, including at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and the 2022 Met Gala, before amicably parting ways in August 2022.

Davidson’s dating history also includes a brief relationship with model Emily Ratajkowski, a five-month romance with Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, and an engagement to singer Ariana Grande. Despite the media frenzy surrounding his love life, Davidson remains on good terms with most of his exes. “He’s still friends with pretty much all his exes,” shared the source, adding, “He and Kim [Kardashian] still talk occasionally, and nothing bad happened between him and Madelyn [Cline].”

Reflecting on the intense attention his relationships have received, Davidson opened up on the Real Ones podcast in March 2023. “I’m in my 20s, and I’ve dated people. And for some reason, that’s very crazy and interesting to people,” he said. “I don’t think it’s interesting. I’ve been in show business for, like, half my life almost — for 14 or 15 years and on a national TV show.”

He went on to share a candid perspective on his dating history: “In 12 years, I’ve dated 10 people. I don’t think that’s that crazy, but to some people, that’s very interesting. That became all anyone would talk about.” For Davidson, the attention around his dating life has been a unique challenge of fame.

Now, Davidson is focused on himself, embracing a period of personal growth. His amicable relationships with his exes and his refreshingly down-to-earth view on dating highlight his easygoing approach to relationships and life in the public eye. As his source put it, “He’s a good guy, and they root for him.”
