New romance? Kate Beckinsale was spotted getting close to actor Matt Atwater as they stepped out in New York City on Tuesday

Goody Grace – 2020

Kate’s most recent romance was with the musician Goody Grace, who was 25 when the pair started dating.

During the fling, Kate was forced to hit back at a social media troll who criticised the age gap in their relationship.

‘Why do you keep dating guys that could be your children?’ the troll asked, to which she quipped: ‘Every relationship I have had has been solely to annoy you.’

Pete Davidson – 2019

One of Kate’s most high profile relationships was with comedian and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. 

The couple were together for four months before splitting in April 2019.

The romance came as a shock to many, and though it is now long over, Pete still had kind words for his ex in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God.

‘All of my uncles freaked out,’ the SNL star said of how his family first reacted when he started dating the actress. 

Kate showed there were no hard feelings between the pair when she liked a Twitter post about his ‘allure’ with beautiful women.

Writer Kristen Mulrooney had tweeted: ‘I love how every time Pete Davidson starts dating another beautiful celebrity everyone’s like ‘wtf is happening how did he do this what is this mystery???’ and everybody refuses to entertain the possibility that he might have a nice personality.’

Kate liked the post about the comedian, in a sign that she agreed with the sentiment of the tweet.

Jack Whitehall – 2018 

Kate was also romantically linked to then 30-year-old comedian Jack Whitehall in 2018.

The couple were seen packing on the PDA at a nightclub in Los Angeles.

Afterwards, they were pictured heading back to a £2,000-a-night hotel together.

An onlooker told The Sun: ‘They were like a pair of loved-up teenagers and weren’t trying to hide their feelings, they were practically sitting on top of each other in the booth of the nightclub and were laughing with each other.

‘Kate rested her hand on Jack’s shoulder and she kept laughing and smiling at his jokes, as the night progressed, he seemed to be growing in confidence and put his arm around her and gave her a hug.

‘Then he decided to put his hand around the back of Kate’s neck and pulled her across him, where they started to passionately kiss.’

However it wasn’t meant to be for the pair as they parted ways soon after, with Jack now in a relationship with the model Roxy Horner. 

Matt Rife – 2017

Kate also dated then 21-year-old comedian Matt Rife from 2017 to 2018.

Following their romance, when it emerged she had started dating Pete, Matt shaded the actress when he advised the SNL star to ‘run’.
