Pete Davidson reveals why he thinks people care about his dating life in heartbreaking admission
Over the years, there have been countless stories about the comedian's relationship history
Pete Davidson has been in Hollywood for years making waves as a comedian, but it seems many only know him for his dating history.
Davidson has admitted he isn’t exactly fond of how much his dating life gets mentioned by outlets and by people on social media.
Speaking to Page Six, Davidson opened up about some of his past relationships and reflected on why he thinks people are so fixated on them.
In case you have forgotten, here is a list of everyone the public knows the star dated.

• Ariana Grande (2018)
• Kate Beckinsale (2019)
• Margaret Qualley (2019)
• Kaia Gerber (2019–2020)

Davidson said he believes that one of the key reasons people focus on it so much is because he is ugly.
He explained: “I’ve had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women and when it’s ended it’s been cool.
“Everyone is dating everyone and it’s Hollywood.
“Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keough. But because I’m ugly, they wrote about me. I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell.”
He also said he would much rather be remembered for his work in comedy than for who he has dated.
He added: “[It’s] embarrassing because you want people to write about your work. I was one of the youngest ever cast members on SNL and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating.”
These feelings have likely long played on the star's mind, as this isn’t the first time he has brought them up.
Last December, while speaking to W magazine he said he wants to know for a lot more than his dating history.
He said: “I just want to be known for doing good work. I want to be out there only when it’s [a] movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. That’s when I want to be seen. I don’t want to be this f****** loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am.”
Going forward, he said he is taking a break from dating and is currently detoxing some things from his life, including drugs and social media.
