Pete Davidson

Pete Davidson is a comedian and actor best known for his tenure on Saturday Night Live and his high-profile relationships. Born in Staten Island, New York, Davidson was raised by his mother after his firefighter father died during the September 11 attacks. He graduated high school in 2011 and briefly enrolled at St. Francis College in Brooklyn but left to pursue comedy full-time.

Davidson began performing stand-up as a teenager, landing early TV appearances on MTV shows including Guy Code and Wild ’n Out. His big break came in 2014 when he joined Saturday Night Live at age 20, becoming one of the youngest cast members in the show’s history. His candid humor and willingness to address personal topics, including mental health and relationship struggles, helped him stand out during his eight-season run.

Beyond SNL, Davidson has pursued acting, appearing in films including Trainwreck (2015), The King of Staten Island (2020) and Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022). He has also released stand-up specials such as Alive From New York (2020) and Turbo Fonzarelli (2024). In 2022, he began starring in the Peacock series Bupkis, a semi-autobiographical comedy. He later ventured into podcasting, hosting “The Pete Davidson Podcast” on Netflix.

Davidson’s love life has frequently made headlines. He was engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018 before the two called it quits that same year. He has also been linked to Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Kim Kardashian and Chase Sui Wonders. In 2025, he began dating model Elsie Hewitt, and later that year, the pair welcomed daughter Scottie.
