Pete Davidson explains how he starts dating people after string of famous girlfriends

Pete Davidson has opened up about how he starts dating people following a string of high-profile relationships.

Watch here:

"I don't think it's that interesting. I've been in show business for half my life - almost for like 14, 15 years - and on a national TV show, and in 12 years I've dated like 10 people.

"I don't really think that's that crazy. But to some people, it seems very interesting."

I mean, come on Pete. Dating 10 people in 12 years - not that crazy or interesting. Dating Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Kate Beckinsale, Ariana Grande etc - pretty damn crazy and interesting.

But the Saturday Night Live star insisted all these relationships came about organically.

He said: "That [his love life] became all anyone would talk about and it was confusing because I'm not on Instagram.

"I'm not, like, on social media. I'm not flexing.

"These people that I've dated, I met them at work. I wasn't in anyone's DMs. No one was in mine.

"I worked at one of the five Hollywood epicentres where you meet people, and that's just who I was working with and who I was around, and that's how it happens."

He went on to explain that the publicity around his private life can have an adverse effect - both on him and his friends and family.

"I could be on Instagram and be like, 'Actually, Cosmopolitan, that is not true. You see, my mother and I live in the same house but I have an apartment in the basement. I don't live with my mum,'" he said.

"But, like, who the f**k wants that? I don't got to defend myself.

"I don't feel like I owe that to anyone, but it affects the people around you. And then, all of a sudden, you're in this f**king zeitgeist and everything that's spoken about you has zero to do with the work, and that is a really sh*tty feeling."
