Pete Davidson loves himself a high profile romance – so it’s no wonder he’s hooked up with a star of one of the summer’s biggest movies.
The 25-year-old is reportedly dating Margaret Qualley, who is currently on the big screen in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
The 24-year-old actress can be seen playing Charles Manson follower Pussycat in the film (yes, the one who gets her feet out in the car with Brad Pitt)… Oh, and she’s the daughter of romcom royalty Andie MacDowell.
Margaret and Pete have reportedly been quietly dating for a ‘couple of months’, with a source telling Us Weekly: ‘They’ve been seeing each other for a couple of months and Margaret is really excited about him.’
And the pair may even go public this week, with the insider claiming that Margaret and Pete will walk the red carpet together at Venice Film Festival, where Qualley’s new film with Kristen Stewart and Anthony Mackie, Seberg, is premiering.
Margaret – the youngest daughter of MacDowell and her ex-husband Paul Qualley – is an Emmy nominated actress, receiving the nod for her role in Fosse/Verdon, and has also starred in IO, The Nice Guys and Death Note.
The rising star is also a trained ballerina.
While Margaret has plenty of high profile engagements on her plate, at least her new beau is used to his relationships being in the spotlight.
The comedian previously dated Larry David’s daughter Cazzie, before he embarked on a whirlwind engagement with Ariana Grande.
Pete popped the question after just three weeks of dating last June, but by October, the young couple had broken up – with Ari singing about the romance in her smash hit Thank U, Next, with the lyric: ‘Even almost got married, and for Pete I’m so thankful.’
Then, the Saturday Night Live star had an even more unlikely romance in the form of Kate Beckinsale, who he confirmed he was dating by tangling tongues with the actress at a hockey match – all while Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski awkwardly sat beside them.
The four month relationship came under fire for their 20 year age gap (Kate is now 46), but Pete hit back at the criticism on SNL’s Weekend Update segment.
He said: ‘Apparently people have a crazy fascination with our age difference. It doesn’t really bother us, but then again I’m new to this…
‘So if you have questions about a relationship with a big age difference, just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Statham, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Jeff Goldblum, Scott Disick, Dane Cook, Derek Jeter, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee, Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn and whoever the president of France is.
‘Mel Gibson, Billy Joel, Mick Jagger, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Kelsey Grammer. Larry King, Larry King, Larry King, Rod Stewart and Donald Trump.’
Fair point, well made.
Pete and Kate ended things in April, but we have high hopes for this new young Hollywood power couple.
