Meet Pete Davidson’s New Woman, And The Stars She’s Linked To

“Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson’s romantic life is back in the spotlight as the identity of his mystery girlfriend has been revealed.

Pete Davidson, who has been linked to numerous A-list women over the years, including Ariana Grande, Phoebe Dynevor, Kim KardashianMargaret Qualley, Kate BeckinsaleKaia Gerber, and Chase Sui Wonders, was last known to be dating “Outer Banks” star Madelyn Cline, though they split last summer.

Hewitt is no stranger to high-profile relationships, having previously been linked to Ryan Phillippe, Benny Blancoand Jason Sudeikis. She and Blanco, now engaged to Selena Gomezfirst met on the set of his 2019 music video “Graduation” and dated until 2020.

Hewitt later made headlines for her brief romance with “Ted Lasso” star Sudeikis in early 2024.

Her past also includes a highly publicized legal battle with Phillippe. In 2017, Hewitt sued the “Cruel Intentions” actor, accusing him of physically assaulting her by kicking, punching, and throwing her down the stairs, allegations Phillippe denied.

The case was settled in 2019.

Earlier this week, Page Six reported that Davidson was dating someone “very different from anybody else he’s ever dated.”

While Hewitt is popular on social media, boasting over 1 million Instagram followers, she is not considered a traditional Hollywood celebrity. Instead, she has built her career as a model and food influencer, with additional acting credits in “Teenage Bada–,” “Dave,” and other projects.

A source shared that Davidson’s new romance is already receiving approval from those closest to him. “Although things are new for Pete, he really likes this woman,” the insider said. “She respects Pete and his desire for privacy.”

Even Davidson’s family appears to be on board. “His mom, Amy Waters Davidson, and sister, Casey Davidson, approve of this relationship and love seeing Pete so happy,” the source added.

Pete Davidson is entering a new chapter, 20 pounds heavier, off drugs, and single, while gearing up for his return to “Saturday Night Live.” Before “SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration,” aired on NBC and Peacock, Davidson found himself getting emotional after watching his original SNL audition tape.

In “Beyond Saturday Night,” a Peacock docu-series about the show, Davidson reflected on his 2014 audition, where a 20-year-old version of himself, dressed in a “Spider-Man” T-shirt from Target, stood in front of Lorne Michaels and the “SNL” team.

“The innocence in my eyes made me so sad,” he admitted to Page Six. “Showbiz is so tough, and I didn’t know how tough it was. I picked the wrong business to have a mental illness and go into. I’m one of the most insecure and sad people ever, and I picked the most insecure, sad business to go into.”

Davidson, who has been open about his struggles with borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and sobriety, also shared how isolating his early years on “SNL” felt. As one of the youngest cast members ever, he found it hard to connect with his older co-stars.

“Everyone was 10-plus years older than me and I had a hard time fitting in. No one was mean, but there was an age difference,” he said. “They were getting married, having kids, and I was like, ‘Do you guys want to come over to play video games?!’ So I hung out with Lorne.”

Michaels took a chance on Davidson, though even the legendary producer wasn’t entirely sure what to do with him at first.

“Lorne told me, ‘I’m not really sure what to do with you, but I know you should be here,’” Davidson recalled. “And it was life-changing. I owe him my entire career and I love the guy. He’s one of my closest friends.”

Even when Davidson doubted himself, Michaels offered reassurance. “He’s my Tony Soprano and I’m his Christopher Moltisanti,” he joked. “One day he might kill me, and it would be worth it!”

As for his high-profile split from Ariana Grande, whom he was briefly engaged to in 2018, Davidson insists there’s no bad blood.

“When we see each other, which is few and far between because we’re not in the same circles, it’s all love,” he said, adding that he’s rooting for her success.
