After nearly two months of dating, Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski have decided to go their separate ways. A source close to Ratajkowski has confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair, who had been making headlines since they were first spotted together in November, are no longer seeing each other.
“Em is single and totally happy,” the source revealed. “She will always prioritize her son, but she also enjoys dating when she has time. She loves her independence and has no immediate plans to see Pete again. She had fun with him, but she ultimately realized she didn’t want the relationship to become anything more serious. She likes her life as it is.”
While their short-lived romance had garnered significant attention, both Davidson and Ratajkowski appear to have moved on quickly. The Saturday Night Live alum, 29, has recently been seen spending time with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders, sparking speculation about a new romance. Meanwhile, Ratajkowski, 31, has been keeping her dating life open-ended. Just last week, she was photographed passionately kissing New York-based artist Jack Greer.
Her interest in exploring new connections doesn’t seem to stop there. In an episode of her High Low podcast released just a day after the photos of her and Greer surfaced, Ratajkowski shared that she has been experimenting with dating apps and opened up about navigating romance online.
Despite their recent public appearances with other people, representatives for both Davidson and Ratajkowski have not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment regarding the split.
A Whirlwind Romance
Davidson and Ratajkowski were first romantically linked in early November when celebrity gossip Instagram account Deux Moi shared an anonymous tip suggesting the two had been spotted together in New York City. Shortly after, a source close to Davidson confirmed to PEOPLE that the comedian and the model were indeed “seeing each other.”
Speculation about their relationship intensified as they were seen on multiple occasions looking cozy. One of their most notable sightings occurred just ahead of Davidson’s 29th birthday when the pair was photographed embracing warmly in a building hallway. They were both dressed casually in matching black jackets and sweatpants, adding to the intrigue about their budding romance.
Later in November, the couple made their first major public appearance together at a New York Knicks vs. Memphis Grizzlies basketball game at Madison Square Garden. Sitting courtside, Davidson and Ratajkowski appeared engaged in animated conversation, fueling further speculation about their chemistry.
At the time, sources close to the couple indicated that the relationship was progressing, albeit at a steady pace. “Emily finds Pete charming and funny,” an insider told PEOPLE. “She’s taking things slowly, but she’s intrigued and flattered by him.”

Their relationship was unexpected for many fans, yet it seemed to make sense given their shared sense of humor and similar laid-back personalities. Davidson, who has gained a reputation for dating high-profile women—including Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, and Kaia Gerber—has often been praised for his ability to connect with his partners on a deeper level beyond his public persona.
“Pete has this way of making women feel comfortable around him,” a source told PEOPLE shortly after his romance with Ratajkowski became public knowledge. “He’s fun, lighthearted, and always makes people laugh. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, which is a big part of his appeal.”
Similarly, Ratajkowski has been vocal about her appreciation for confidence and humor in a partner. Having filed for divorce from her husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, in September following allegations of infidelity, she had been linked to several high-profile figures, including Brad Pitt and DJ Orazio Rispo, before stepping out with Davidson.
Although their romance was brief, sources suggested the two had a great time together while it lasted.
“They are going strong and getting a little more serious,” one insider noted back in December. “They share a love for the East Coast and have similar personalities and styles. Pete always knows how to make Emily laugh, and she enjoys that about him.”
At the time, another source close to Ratajkowski shared that she was in a “great place” and enjoying her newfound single life.
Moving On
Despite the initial excitement surrounding their relationship, it seems both Davidson and Ratajkowski realized that their connection wasn’t meant to be long-term. Ratajkowski, in particular, has made it clear that she values her independence and isn’t rushing into anything serious.
Her recent foray into dating apps further supports this sentiment. On her High Low podcast, she openly discussed her experience navigating online dating, a move that many fans found surprising given her celebrity status. “I was feeling defiant because so many people told me not to do it,” she said. “So I was like, ‘Why not?'”
Meanwhile, Davidson appears to have found new companionship in Chase Sui Wonders. The Bodies Bodies Bodies co-stars were seen together multiple times in recent weeks, including a visit to Davidson’s apartment, which further fueled rumors about their relationship.
While neither Davidson nor Ratajkowski has publicly commented on their split, it’s clear that both are embracing new opportunities in their love lives.
A Pattern of High-Profile Romances
Davidson and Ratajkowski’s short-lived relationship is just one in a series of high-profile romances that have made headlines in recent years.
Davidson’s dating history has long fascinated the public. Before his relationship with Ratajkowski, he was in a highly publicized nine-month romance with Kim Kardashian, which ended in August. Before Kardashian, he was engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018, though their whirlwind engagement ended within months. He has also been linked to Phoebe Dynevor, Kate Beckinsale, and Cazzie David.
On the other hand, Ratajkowski has been adjusting to her newly single status following her split from Sebastian Bear-McClard, with whom she shares a son. After filing for divorce, she was briefly linked to Brad Pitt before being seen on dates with DJ Orazio Rispo and artist Jack Greer.
With both Davidson and Ratajkowski moving on from their brief but widely-discussed romance, fans and media alike will likely continue to watch their respective dating lives unfold.
For now, Ratajkowski is embracing her independence and having fun exploring her options, while Davidson appears to be keeping things casual as well. Despite their short time together, their relationship was yet another chapter in their ever-evolving personal lives—one that, while fleeting, certainly captivated public interest.
