Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson‘s relationship is the most surprising celebrity coupling to happen since, well, Davidson’s relationship with Ariana Grande. Everyone was thrown for a loop when the Saturday Night Live star and the British actress were seen flirting at a post–Golden Globes party. They’ve kept things low-key since then, but there have been a few public outings that suggest their affection is at least growing. From kissing at a hockey game (sorry, Antoni) to a rumored vacation with friends, these two are shaping up to be the It Couple of 2019. If they’re even dating, of course. Keep in mind neither has formally confirmed their relationship status. But they’re captivating the entire Internet, even still.

January 10, 2019: Beckinsale slyly responds to an Instagram commenter who took a dig at her and Davidson. “Dear heavens, Kate. Not Pete Davidson,” the person wrote underneath a photo Beckinsale uploaded of her mom, Judy Loe. She simply responded, “No, that’s my mother. Easy mistake.”
January 14, 2019: Davidson low-key references Beckinsale at one of his stand-up shows. Us Weekly reports that when an audience member shouted Beckinsale’s name, Davidson “smiled sheepishly” and said one very telling word: “yes.”

February 10, 2019: Rumors spread the two are planning a holiday together. Specifically, a trip with friends to somewhere like Hawaii or Bali. “They want to keep things low-key—Kate is recovering from being hospitalized and Pete just went through a really tough time very publicly—but it’s hard as they can’t keep their hands off each other in public,” a source told The Sun. “They’re planning a holiday to get away from the cameras and get to know each other better.

They talk a lot and never run out of things to say.”
