KEY POINTS

  • Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson briefly dated in 2019
  • The 27-year-old SNL star is rumored to be dating Kim Kardashian
  • Social media users are reeling over how A-list beauties are attracted to Davidson

Kate Beckinsale has subtly praised Pete Davidson amid rumors that her ex is dating Kim Kardashian. On Thursday, the “Pearl Harbor” star liked a repost of a viral tweet suggesting that Davidson’s personality is what charms beautiful women.

“I love how every time Pete Davidson starts dating another beautiful celebrity everyone’s like ‘wtf is happening how did he do this what is this mystery???’ and everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality,” the tweet read.

The tweet first went viral Monday, after Davidson was caught up in dating rumors anew. Last weekend, Davidson trended online after a photo of him holding hands with Kardashian at a California theme park sparked dating rumors. Since then, the duo has twice been spotted going out to dinner in New York. Sources also claim they have been “genuinely affectionate” with each other during their dates.

Now, social media users have been reeling over how Davidson has been able to allure A-list beauties like Beckinsale, supermodel Kaia Gerber, Ariana Grande and his most recent ex, “Bridgerton” star Phoebe Dynevor. In an exclusive interview with Page Six, a source revealed that Beckinsale fell head over heels for Davidson because of his personality.

The source said that during a Golden Globes party in January 2019, Beckinsale couldn’t help but fall for Davidson’s charm. “Kate had her hand on his knee, and she kept laughing at all his jokes,” said the source at the time. The couple broke up in April of that year after Beckinsale “struggled with the attention on her relationship with Pete.”

On Thursday, another source told the outlet that Davidson’s jokes are also landing with Kardashian, as she was reportedly “smiling and laughing a lot” the whole time they were having dinner at Zero Bond Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, “Real Housewives” star Bethenny Frankel took to Twitter on Thursday to share her theory about why the “Saturday Night Live” star has been a magnet for beautiful celebrities. “Years later, I still maintain that Pete Davidson shoots diamonds out of his penis,” she wrote.
