Are Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson dating?
Beckinsale and Davidson were recently spotted together at one of his stand-up comedy acts. They left the comedy club holding hands and sources state that they headed back to Davidson’s hotel in Santa Monica. But are they really an item or was this just a one time fling?

She has also been seen hanging out with Pete Davidson with some of his closest friends – like Machine Gun Kelly, Isla Fisher, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

The real reason Beckinsale is interested in Davidson
Following her divorce, Kate Beckinsale is just looking to have some fun and she is loving all the attention she’s getting from younger guys. Although it’s currently comedian Pete Davidson, fans have followed as she has dated several guys who are significantly younger than she is.
Davidson is only 25, which is 20 years younger than the actress. Jack Whitehall shared a 15-year age gap. Actor Matt Rife, however, was only 23 and had a 22-year age gap between him and Kate Beckinsale.
Pete Davidson is on the same page
The young comedian is on the same page as Beckinsale. Following his break-up with pop star Ariana Grande, Davidson isn’t looking for anything serious, either. While he’s obviously enjoying the attention of Beckinsale, it’s unknown if he’ll want anything more.
With both likely looking for a casual dating fling, it is unlikely this relationship is going to last. It does seem, however, that the two will be spending a bit more time together in the future.
Kate Beckinsale is getting hated on
Since the start of her May-December relationships, Beckinsale has gotten a lot of hate for her choice in young men. Fans have commented on her images with comments about the age gaps.
The most recent comment came from a fan when Kate Beckinsale posted an image of her mother. The fan reportedly commented “Dear heavens, Kate. Not Pete Davidson.” Beckinsale’s response, however, was pure gold. The actress didn’t miss a beat before responding “No, that’s my mother. Easy mistake.”
Although she is receiving a lot of hate, many fans are also cheering her on. No matter how fans feel, however, one thing is for certain – Kate Beckinsale is going to do whatever makes her happy, and she doesn’t mind a little hate.
