Pete Davidson and Madelyn Cline have reportedly broken up after a whirlwind romance that lasted less than a year. The couple, who began dating in September 2023, decided to break up on good terms, sources close to the couple said.

Davidson and Cline started dating rumors last September, which were confirmed in October when they hit a Saturday Night Live afterparty. The two were seen holding hands and were happy, very much in love. However, by January, they had stopped attending events as a couple, leading people to speculate on their relationship status.
Sources close to the matter reveal that Madelyn wasn’t seeking something too serious with Pete, and for her, being with him meant the opportunity to have good times, enjoy his company, have fun, and see what happens. Her casual approach notwithstanding, it had its promising moments since November, when Pete took Madelyn home to meet his family. His mom and sister loved her, as was the vice versa case. Their “independent yet strong” relationship seemed to work well because they could allow each other space but be connected on a deeper level. Also, the two kept their romance very private—a contrast from some of Pete’s previous high-profile relationships.
Pete Davidson has never been short on high-profile love affairs. From the alleged 2018 engagement to pop star Ariana Grande to eventual hookups with model Kaia Gerber and actress Kate Beckinsale, something has always been said about this iconic comedian’s love life. His relationship with reality television star Kim Kardashian in 2022 was a shocker again; in a bit of time, he clicked with his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders and later moved on to Madelyn Cline.
Madelyn Cline from “Outer Banks” was dated by the singer Jackson Guthy in 2022. As mentioned, she had been involved with her “Outer Banks” costar Chase Stokes until November 2021. Her romance with Pete marked another page in her love life story, bringing her into a different spotlight.
News of the breakup sent fans onto social media to share their thoughts, with many noting that they defended both stars. The internet was filled with memes and messages of empathy as people struggled to balance mixed emotions toward the news. Others, however, are relieved that a couple can handle a breakup like adults who know how to treat each other respectfully.
Although Pete and Madelyn’s romance did not sound like the last bell, it wrote its name in the memory of their fans. Public appearances, such as when Madelyn went to watch Pete’s stand-up show in Las Vegas, gave the impression of a couple having fun with each other. Even after breaking up, their respect and regard for each other were still pretty palpable and set quite a healthy precedent of breaking up graciously.
