Hollywood lothario Pete Davidson is continuing his lucky streak with A-list ladies after catching the eye of newly-single bombshell Emily Ratajkowski.
The former SNL comedian, 28, and the model, 31, are said to be ‘in the very early stages’ of dating and ‘really like each other’. They ‘have been talking for a couple months now’ after being set up by mutual friends, a source told Us Weekly.
The insider further divulged that Pete – who was once praised for his ‘big d**k energy’ by ex Ariana Grande, 29, and most recently had a whirlwind romance with Kim Kardashian, 42 – ‘loves how intelligent [Emily] is.’

The source also added that the funnyman’s humor is a big plus for the runway star: ‘Pete makes Emily laugh.’
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski for comment.
It comes after a recent internet rumor claiming the pair were seen ‘all over each other’ went viral.
An anonymous tipster claimed to gossip site DeuxMoi they saw Emily and Pete on a date on Brooklyn on Sunday, writing: ‘his hands were allll over her and they’re clearly clearly hooking up.’
Emily was last known to be dating DJ Orazio Rispo, who she was seen passionately kissing in NYC last month, following her split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
While comedian Pete, who has famously landed beauties including Kate Beckinsale and Ariana Grande – split from Kim Kardashian in August 2022 after nine months of dating.
Grande once tweeted about his ’10 inches’ and set the internet ablaze with talk of his ‘big d*** energy’. Meanwhile Kim admitted that she pursued Pete after hearing about his ‘big d**k energy’ and was simply ‘DTF’ (down to f**k), later hinting that she was having the ‘best’ time of her life in the bedroom with the comedian.
Emily has previously praised Pete as ‘super charming’ after working with him on a shoot in 2021.
She said during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers: ‘He’s a professional. First of all, you should know that about Pete.

‘Pete—he’s got the height. Obviously women find him very attractive.
‘Guys are like, “Wow. What’s that guy got?”’ “And I’m like, I mean, he seems super charming. He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good!’
Fans quickly took to social media to express their shock over the new pairing, with one fan writing: ‘Someone needs to do an thesis study on how pete davidson managed to score ariana grande, kim kardashian, and emily ratajkowski in the same lifetime.
Another wrote: ‘I think Pete Davidson can literally get any woman he wants. Emily Ratajkowski now. I don’t get it.’
A third typed: ‘Pete Davidson with Emily Ratajkowski now. He’s just the most sought after accessory at this point to A1 celebs.’
Last month Emily packed on the PDA with Orazio during a date night in NYC – with DailyMail.com exclusively revealing his identity.
Orazio has worked as a DJ for two decades; he also owned and operated a record shop in Brooklyn, called Halcyon Record Shop, until it closed in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pair was seen giggling with one another, locking lips, starring into each other’s eyes, and sharing a romantic embrace as they strolled through Manhattan, after enjoying an alfresco dinner date.
The mother-of-one was also recently rumored to be dating Brad Pitt, 58.
It’s unclear how or when Emily and Orazio first met, but it appears that they’ve known each other for a while, as it was reported that they were seen grabbing dinner together during Milan Fashion Week last September.
News hit the web that Emily had split from her husband of four years, Sebastian, in July.
At the time, it was reported that the model had made the decision to leave her film producer husband, 41, over claims that he was a ‘serial cheater.’ A source told Page Six at the time, ‘It’s gross. He’s a dog.’

Comedian and social media influencer Claudia Oshry also spoke out about the situation during an episode of The Morning Toast podcast, in which she claimed Sebastian’s infidelity was an open secret in the industry.
‘It’s, like, known that her husband has cheated on her and they’re filing for divorce,’ she said, adding that when the couple officially confirms their separation, it will not come as a surprise to anyone.
Emily, who shares a one-year-old son with Sebastian, named Sylvester Apollo Bear, then filed for divorce in September.
In the wake of her divorce proceedings, there had been talk that Emily was involved in a romance with Brad, but she seemed to shut these rumors down with her very public display of affection with Orazio.
Emily and Sebastian, who is best known for producing movies Uncut Gems, Good Time, and Funny Pages, were first linked on Valentine’s Day in February 2018 – one month after news had hit the web that she had split from her boyfriend Jeff Magid after three years together.

At the time, the pair was spotted packing on the PDA in Los Angeles, California. It’s unclear how they met, but an insider told Us Weekly at the time that they had known each other ‘for years.’
Just days after their first spotting, news hit the web that they had tied the knot in a New York City courthouse on February 23, 2018.
Emily then confirmed the news via Instagram, writing, ‘Sooo, I have a surprise, I got married today.’
She later told Jimmy Fallon on his show, The Tonight Show, that she only took ’30 seconds’ to decide she wanted to marry the producer.
‘I thought about it for about 30 seconds,’ she joked. ‘It was a city hall courthouse wedding. I guess I didn’t know what I always wanted to do, which is maybe why it was so untraditional.’
They made their red carpet debut in March of that year, while attending the 33rd Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards together, and the two looked like the epitome of marital bliss at the event.
Their four-year romance was plagued with scandal and controversy, starting with the fact that they had wed after only a few days together.
Reactions: Fans took to social media to react to the alleged romance
She first sparked breakup rumors in July, when she was seen going for a stroll in New York with the couple’s son, and was not wearing her wedding ring.
The model was pictured moving her stuff out of the New York City apartment that she previously shared with Sebastian last month.
Her new romance with Pete also comes after Kim and Pete were revealed not to be rekindling their romance and haven’t been in communication.

Last week it was claimed that the reality star and actor were back in contact three months after their split.
However, Kim and Pete are still not in communication and have not seen each other a source close to the former couple told TMZ on Wednesday morning.
The insider claims that the two would remain friendly if they crossed paths in-person as there is no bad blood but they are living their own lives for the time being.
TMZ also asked the source if they believed that the former power couple would get back together as they answered that it was ‘highly unlikely.’
An insider told the outlet last summer that the romance was ‘starting to fizzle out’ due to distance issues, as Davidson had been abroad shooting the movie Wizards! in Australia.
‘Pete being away for so long was hard for them,’ the source said. ‘Kim is doing well and she knows she has a lot going on. Pete has been super busy as well.’
Pete was first linked to the reality television personality in October 2021 weeks after Kim made her hosting debut on SNL, where the now ex-couple shared an on-screen kiss.
However after less than a year together, an insider told DailyMail.com on August 5 that the pair have decided to just be friends – citing demanding schedules and the long distance as Pete worked on a project in Australia while Kim is based in the U.S.
At the time Pete had spent months filming his upcoming movie Wizards! in Australia, where Kim visited him in July for a romantic getaway in the Daintree Rainforest.
However their luxury stay at a lavish five-star ‘eco lodge’ in the jungle was evidently not enough to salvage the couple’s relationship.
