A year ago, on the occasion of the rumors that the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian were dating, a Twitter user asked a question: “Did you tell your girl you love her today or should the actor do it?” Such questions about the life and loves of the comedian often appear on the Internet.

Indeed, he was one of the most famous people who particularly occupied the tabloid magazines and the international press. However, most articles about him focus on his love life. Pitt started dating her in 2022 Kim Kardashian and closed the year with the model Emily Ratajkowski. As of 2023, he is reportedly seeing his co-star Chase Sui Wonders. But why is social media and the international media obsessed with him?

In 2013, at the age of just 20, Pete Davidson entered Saturday Night Live as the child prodigy of American comedy. His childhood, which was shaped by the death of his firefighter father in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, also made headlines. Pete was only seven years old at the time of his father’s death. He turned this tragedy into a comedy, which was therapeutic for him and repulsive for others. For example, in a Comedy Central special, he told Justin Bieber: “I always regretted growing up without a father … until I met your father, Justin. Now I’m glad mine’s dead.”

In 2018, Pete Davidson became famous thanks to his relationship with the singer, Ariana Grande. At the time he met the singer, he was dating Cazzie David, the daughter of comedian Larry David. Twenty-four days later, Grande and Pitt were engaged. In the summer of 2018, the public was mesmerized by their romantic Instagram messages, photos of them kissing on the street, the actor’s tattoos tributes to his girlfriend (which covered the face of Cazzie David) and the pig they adopted as a pet .
Grande included a song titled ‘Pete Davidson’ on her album ‘Sweetener’.

But things went awry when, weeks later, the singer’s ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, died of a drug overdose. Both’s social media was flooded with messages blaming them for Miller’s death, and the couple broke off their engagement (which led to Grande’s biggest hit of her career, “Thank U Next”).

A few days later, Pete Davidson posted a disturbing message on Instagram, saying: “I really don’t want to be on this Earth anymore.” In the end, luckily, nothing serious happened…

At a time when celebrities are struggling to protect their private lives, the actor speaks openly about all issues, without counting the cost and dealing with… equally “toxic” followers.

Each of his relationships with famous women follows the same pattern: he French-kissed Kate Beckinsale at a basketball game, held the hand of Margaret Qualley (daughter of Andie MacDowell) at the Venice Film Festival, watched tennis matches with Phoebe Dynevor (from Bridgerton) where they wore pendants with each other’s initials and posed at a party with Kaia Gerber, the daughter of model Cindy Crawford. But despite these public displays of affection, all of these relationships ended within six months.

With each new relationship, the mystery of Pete Davidson deepened: he is not conventionally handsome, and many wonder what the secret of his success is. Some claim that the actor has an irresistible appeal to women because he is quite laid back and has nothing to prove to anyone. Its success has also been analyzed in terms of the new masculinity, that is, men who are in touch with their emotions and are honest about their mental health.

As actor Tommy Dorfman wrote in Paper magazine, “ultimately… if I had to sum up Pitt’s appeal in one word, it would have to be heart: a huge—perhaps wounded—willingly available heart inside the body of a boy who I’d expect him to beat me up in high school.”

Davidson’s personality also fits the good boy archetype, in which a man is nice to women until one rejects him, at which point he unleashes his misogyny. On the contrary, Pete Davidson really likes women. “When I’m in a relationship I treat the person I’m with like a princess,” he said in an interview.

Despite his… successes, the comedian has suffered a lot. Davidson was diagnosed with a personality disorder. He attempted suicide when he was only nine years old and engaged in self-destructive behavior (for example, he pulled out all his hair).

Davidson and Kardashian were first seen together as a couple on a roller coaster in Staten Island, the New York borough where she grew up. His childish enthusiasm won him many admirers. It’s clear that fame attracts him, but instead of being desperate to become famous, he seems intimidated by the magnitude of fame and how it works.

Most of his female partners had just gone through traumatic breakups when they started dating him. Ariana Grande described her relationship with the comedian as “an amazing distraction. According to rumors, Pete and Kardashian broke up because he wanted to start a family (his lifelong dream is to be a father) and she didn’t. A few months after they started dating, he got three tattoos dedicated to her: the names Jasmine and Aladdin next to the infinity symbol, the initials of Kardashian’s four children with Kanye West and the phrase “my girlfriend is a lawyer,” referring to the degree law degree he obtained last May. He described these tattoos as “scars”. It’s as if he had already anticipated the pain of a breakup. His body is a map of his wounds. If he ever forgets them, the internet will surely be there to remind him…
