Here's What Ariana Grande Really Thinks About Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale Dating
Earlier this year, rumors started swirling that Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson were dating. It was the most surprising relationship news to happen since, well, Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande last summer. Grande’s kept mum about Davidson and Beckinsale, with a source telling Us Weekly she’s not “bothered” by the relationship at all. “The focus is entirely on the album coming out on Friday, and [she] can’t wait for fans to hear,” they said.
But the “Thank U, Next” singer just broke her silence on Davidson and Beckinsale for real. A TMZ cameraman caught Grande walking in Culver City Thursday night (February 7), and he asked her, straight up, what she thinks about Beckinsale and Davidson dating.
“So cute!” you hear Grande faintly say as she enters a building. Watch the video for yourself, below.
Grande just released her fifth studio album Thank U, Next on Friday, February 8. It’s a fun, danceable record filled with sultry slow-jams and lyrics that may (or may not) be about Davidson. If her interview with TMZ is any indication, there are no hard feelings between the two—but here’s a quick breakdown of all the places Grande might be referencing Davidson on Thank U, Next:
“Needy.” “Lately I’ve been on a rollercoaster / Tryna get a hold of my emotions / But all that I know, is I need you close” — This could be a reference to the media circus that surrounded Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande’s relationship last summer.
“Ghostin’.” Fans have really latched onto this song and theorize it might be about Grande thinking about her ex-boyfriend, the late Mac Miller, when she was with Davidson. Grande said on Twitter the song centers on “feeling badly for the person you’re with bc you love somebody else,” and the lyrics certainly suggest that. “Oh, I wish he were here instead / No one that living in your head / He just comes to visit me / When I’m dreaming every now and then (And then),” she sings.
“Bloodline.” “Just wanna have a good time, yuh / Ain’t no need to apologize, no / But you gon’ have to let this sh*t go,” Grande sings on this uptempo track. Remember, her relationship with Davidson moved so quickly and, ultimately, led to an engagement. The next step would’ve been marriage, but they pumped the brakes before it reached that point. “Bloodline” could be referring to that situation.
