Rumors have been swirling that Ariana Grande’s ex-fiance Pete Davidson is dating Kate Beckinsale, and she’s OK with that. The pop superstar, who dropped her new album “thank u, next” on Friday, was confronted by a paparazzo in Los Angeles late Wednesday night and asked about how she feels about the rumored romance. “Do you think Pete and Kate Beckinsale make a good couple, Ariana?” the TMZ photographer asked her as she walked into One Radio Networks in Westwood. “So cute! !” she replied. Grande and Davidson split in October 2018. Love blossomed for the pop star and the "Saturday Night Live" cast member after they met on "SNL," and they became engaged just weeks after making their relationship Instagram official in May. Since then, Grande has said she is taking a break from the dating scene. On Twitter, rumors swirled that Grande was seeing someone but she took to Twitter to shut down the buzz. Regarding who she was dating, she wrote: "spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it’s no one. please refer back to this tweet for future questions." Grande’s been making waves with her music as of late. Her album has been receiving rave reviews from fans on social media with one fan calling it “An album of 12 unskippable songs.” Review:Ariana Grande's 'thank u, next' is her best, most confessional album yet More:Twitter praises Ariana Grande's new album 'thank u, next': 'An album of 12 unskippable songs' More:Ariana Grande spotted with ex, shuts down speculation that she has a new boyfriend: 'It's no one'<doc-sep>Ever since dating rumors started circulating about Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale back in January, fans of the 25-year-old comedian and the 45-year-old actress have been dying to learn all there is to know about their budding relationship. Below, an all-encompassing guide about this cute and unlikely pairing. How did they meet? Not much is known about how Davidson and Beckinsale first met, but the two were first spotted leaving a Golden Globes after party together on January 6. “Kate and Pete were flirting at the InStyle party and she was following him around a bit and waiting for him,” a source told Us Weekly. “People approached her and she didn’t want to talk to anyone else.” What do they think of each other? Two of Beckinsale's most recent exes, Jack Whitehall, 30, and Matt Rife, who is in his twenties, are both comedians who are younger, meaning Davidson is not a surprising choice for the actress. “Kate is into Pete and he’s exactly her type,” an insider told Us Weekly. “She likes young guys who make her laugh.” A different source told E! "They may seem like an unlikely match, but she thinks he's great and she just loves all the laughs she has with him." How long have they been seeing each other? It's been almost three months since rumors about the pair first started circulating. Since February, the rumored couple upped the ante with some PDA. On February 1, The Sun acquired photos of the pair holding hands while they left Davidson's stand-up show in Hollywood. After the show, the pair headed back to Davidson’s hotel in Santa Monica, where an onlooker said, “They arrived at the hotel hand in hand.” Since the initial PDA reports surfaced, the couple's relationship has escalated considerably. While attending a hockey game at New York City's Madison Square Garden on March 3, photographers caught Beckinsale and Davidson openly kissing many times during the sporting event. On the way out of the venue, the couple was spotted holding hands. Beckinsale looked very happy and was smiling for the cameras. JD IMAGES/REX/SHUTTERSTOCK Shutterstock Splash News Have they confirmed the dating rumors? A source told Us Weekly that Davidson hinted that something is going on between him and the 45-year-old actress during his comedy show on January 12. An audience member shouted Beckinsale's name during his set, and Davidson said "Yes," and "smiled sheepishly" at the suggestion. Though their relationship still remains unconfirmed, the couple isn't hiding how they feel about each other in public. Are they in a serious relationship? In February, E! reported that Davidson and Beckinsale's relationship wasn't serious, due to their distance. "They spend most of their time on opposite coasts so it's a casual thing," an E! source explained. "But they are going to keep talking and having fun together." And even though the pair appeared to be smitten, “Kate’s not looking to get serious with someone. She was really hurt after her marriage with Len [Wiseman] ended,” a source told PEOPLE. “She wants to have fun with guys and date around. She loves the attention from the younger men she dates.” On March 20, PEOPLE reported that the couple seemed to be moving into serious territory, as Davidson joined Beckinsale and her mother Judy Lowe for dinner on the 40th anniversary of her father's death. But on April 24, just over a month later, Beckinsale and Davidson "decided to slow things down." While the two are still dating, it sounds like they have turned the intensity down: “Pete and Kate got super serious very fast but they’ve decided to slow things down a bit,” the PEOPLE source said. “They’re still dating as of now.” This content is imported from {embed-name}.

Pete Davidson, 25, is feeling like one lucky guy! The comedian has been seen out and about with British beauty Kate Beckinsale, 45, and although he’s not looking for a serious relationship right now, he’s happy to be sharing some casual fun with her. “Kate has an extremely flirty and fun personality and Pete isn’t looking for anything serious right now as he’s really busy focusing on himself,” a source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “They ran into each other at Globes parties and started talking more so they have stayed in touch more, but this isn’t anything serious right now — It’s just fun and flirty for both of them.” The Pete and Kate dating rumors first started after the stars were reportedly seen leaving a Golden Globes after-party together on Jan. 6. “They were very flirty that night and they’re both attracted to one another, so because Pete has been in L.A., why wouldn’t they hang out more?” the source continued. “It seems at first, Pete didn’t think Kate would be into him, but now that he knows she is, it’s fun. Right now, things are very casual. Kate is a very touchy-feely person when she’s into someone. Physical touch is a big thing for her.” That touchy-feely personality seemed to shine through when Pete and Kate held hands during their most recent outing at a comedy club in Los Angeles. In addition to the fun connection, one other reason Kate may be attracted to Pete is because of his younger age. “Kate is very much into looking and feeling young, so it’s not surprising for friends to see her have fun with someone so much younger,” the source explained. “She has a younger daughter herself and always tries to be young, fun and playful with her.” Kate’s daughter, Lily Mo Sheen, is 20 now, and the actress had her during her relationship with Welsh actor Michael Sheen, 49. The former couple dated from 1995 until 2003, and remain close friends to this day. We’ll be on the lookout for any more Pete and Kate outings in the future!<doc-sep>
More intel on what exactly is going on between Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale has arrived, courtesy of E!. The outlet spoke to a source who explained that the 25-year-old SNL comedian and 45-year-old actress really are a romantic thing after being photographed holding hands this weekend...but not like, a super serious one. "They spend most of their time on opposite coasts so it's a casual thing," the source said. "But they are going to keep talking and having fun together." Beckinsale thinks a lot of Davidson, the source added. "Kate thinks he's the sweetest and nicest guy. They may seem like an unlikely match but she thinks he's great and she just loves all the laughs she has with him." Rumors of Beckinsale and Davidson dating first started when the two were seen leaving a Golden Globes after party together at the beginning of January. A source told Us Weekly that Davidson seemingly confirmed something was going on between them at his January 12 comedy show. An audience member shouted Beckinsale's name, and Davidson said "yes," and "smiled sheepishly," according to the source. Davidson and Beckinsale's somewhat public relationship comes shortly after Davidson and Ariana Grande ended their engagement at the end of October. Davidson briefly commented on their split on Saturday Night Live's November 4 episode. "The last thing I will say is I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is it’s nobody’s business," he started. "And sometimes things just don’t work out, and that’s okay. She’s a wonderful, strong person, and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world."
