Some gossip to end your year: after weeks of rumors and a courtside stint at a Knicks game, the budding romance between Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski is allegedly over. Like their courtship, this news is both surprising and completely unsurprising at the same time.
“Their fling has moved into the friend zone,” a source tells Page Six. The source also said that this is “fine with both of them.” And it is fine with me as well, in case anyone was wondering.
The short-lived romance started with rumors in early November. A source “close to Davidson” confirmed the rumor to the People after speculation around the two began brewing over the weekend.
In November, the celeb gossip account DeuxMoi posted an anonymous tip from one of their followers who claimed they saw Davidson and Ratajkowski on a date in Brooklyn. “EMRATA AND PETE DAVIDSON ON A DATE IN BROOKLYN TOGETHER. HOLDING HANDS AND ALLLL,” the all-caps comment said. The source added, “His hands were all over her and they’re clearly clearly hooking up.”
All of this gossip went mostly unverified for weeks until Davidson and Ratajkowski confirmed the rumors IRL by attending a Knicks game together at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Thanksgiving weekend.
The pseudo couple sat in between Ben Stiller and Jordin Sparks, who were probably just as surprised to see Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski there as anyone else. According to Entertainment Tonight, the relationship was very casual, and they basically used each other as very public rebounds. In August, Kim Kardashian broke things off with Davidson while EmRata ended her marriage to Sebastian Bear-McClard over the Summer.
