Tuesday 15 November 2022 01:35 AM Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski are 'in the early stages' of dating and ... trends now

Following recent speculations of a romance, it's now been reported that Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski are dating and 'really like each other.'

The former SNL comedian, 28, and the model, 31, 'have been talking for a couple months now' after being set up by mutual friends, and are 'in the very early stages' of dating, a source told Us Weekly. 

The insider further divulged that they 'both really like each other' and that Pete - who 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. 

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.
