Pete Davidson has been dating a few other notable women in Hollywood after his split with ex-fiancée, Ariana Grande. A few of them include Margaret Qualley, Kim Kardashian, Kaia Gerber, and Madelyn Cline.

However, in his interview with Page Six when asked about his previous relationship with Ariana Grande, he opened up by saying,

"I’ve had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it’s ended it’s been cool"

This suggests that Davidson and Grande ended on good terms. However, Davidson did reveal how he felt about the attention he received while and after dating the Wicked actress. In a candid statement, he said

"It was pretty humiliating and upsetting, honestly... Everyone is dating everyone and it’s Hollywood... But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like, five years and it made my life a living hell."

Davidson further elaborated that he felt he was not recognized for his work but rather he was known by who he was dating at the time. He expressed,

"I was one of the youngest-ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating."

Fast forward to 2025, Pete Davidson has built a career for himself by working in different movies and shows such as The King of Staten Island, Big Time Adolescence, The Suicide Squad, and SNL, to mention a few. His latest work includes being a voice actor for the animated film Dog Man, which was released last month. Besides his work as an actor, Davidson was also chosen as the face of Reformation’s new Valentine’s Day campaign.
