Back in 2019, Pete Davidson was at the centre of media attention - not just for his work on Saturday Night Live, but also for his high-profile relationship with actress Kate Beckinsale.

The couple, who made headlines with their unexpected pairing, left fans with one burning question about their relationship that Davidson eventually addressed on live TV.

For months, the duo had been spotted holding hands at various events, including a memorable courtside appearance at an NHL game, where their PDA practically broke the internet.

Social media was rife with opinions, memes, and endless commentary, but one topic dominated the conversation: their 20-year age gap.

At the time, Davidson was 25, while Beckinsale was 45 - a fact that many simply couldn't stop talking about.

The chatter only grew louder, and it seemed like everyone had an opinion.

Was the age difference a big deal to them? Were they bothered by public scrutiny?

Davidson, known for his quick wit and sharp sense of humour, finally addressed the elephant in the room during a Weekend Update segment on Saturday Night Live.

With his trademark comedic timing, he tackled the relentless public fascination head-on, delivering a response that was equal parts funny and insightful.

"Apparently, people have a crazy fascination with our age difference," Davidson began, drawing laughs from the audience. But he wasn't done. Rather than brushing it off or dodging the issue, he used the platform to point out the double standards often applied to relationships like his and Beckinsale's.

While he admitted the attention didn't bother them as a couple, Davidson highlighted how relationships involving older men and younger women rarely receive the same level of scrutiny. He cheekily referenced Hollywood heavyweights like Leonardo DiCaprio and Alec Baldwin, who have long been linked to younger partners, asking why such relationships rarely provoke similar reactions.

The relationship between Davidson and Beckinsale lasted only a few months and eventually fizzled out later that year, but his comments on SNL and their relationship remained a standout moment.

Their brief but high-profile romance was marked by frequent paparazzi sightings and public appearances, drawing attention wherever they went.

As of 2024, both Davidson and Beckinsale have moved on from their brief relationship in 2019. Davidson has continued his string of high-profile relationships, most recently dating Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline. The pair, who were first spotted together in late 2023, enjoyed a low-key romance for several months before amicably parting ways in mid-2024.

Prior to Cline, Davidson was linked to actress Chase Sui Wonders, as well as other well-known names including Kim Kardashian.

Beckinsale, on the other hand, has kept her love life largely private in recent years. While she was previously linked to musician Goody Grace in 2020, the relationship ended amicably. Currently, Beckinsale seems to be focusing on her career, with no confirmed romantic ties.
