Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson’s relationship was a flash in the pan, but boy was it sweet while it lasted! While neither of them ever confirmed they were dating (POPSUGAR reached out to their reps for comment on rumors but did not receive a response), they were spotted out and about quite a few times throughout their rumored fling at the end of 2022, including on holidays.
The reason why fans were so invested in Davidson and Ratajkowski before they both ultimately moved on with other people (her with comedian Eric André and him with his “Bodies Bodies Bodies” co-star Chase Sui Wonders) was because they both got out of relationships during the summer of 2022. Davidson’s nine-month romance with Kim Kardashian ended in early August 2022 when a source told Entertainment Tonight that Kardashian “kind of wants to be single and date.”
Meanwhile, Ratajkowski split from her husband of four years, Sebastian Bear-McClard, in July 2022, and she filed for divorce in September. The former couple share a child, Sylvester Apollo Bear, who was born in March 2021.
