Oct. 17 2019, Published 7:46 p.m. ET
Pete Davidson is back on the market, once again. The Saturday Night Live star and Margaret Qualley have called it quits on October 17. The couple started dating in late August, and the Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood star’s mother Andie MacDowell even gave the lovebirds her approval. This is the third breakup for Pete, 25, in the past year, as he was previously romantically linked to Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale.
Us Weekly broke the news about their split. A source close to the former couple told the publication “they remain friends.” Their relationship was originally confirmed by the same publication on August 28. “They’ve been seeing each other for a couple of months and Margaret is really excited about him,” an insider revealed at the time.
A source for People revealed that the former couple appeared “very happy” upon their arrival in Venice. “They were on the same flight and seemed very happy,” the insider recalled. “It was clear that they were together.”
The former couple made their first public appearance together at the premiere of Margaret’s film Seberg on September 1 at the Venice Film Festival.
Andie, 61, even spoke about her daughter’s blossoming romance with the Set It Up actor. “He has a beautiful relationship with him but I don’t want to step on her relationship too much,” the St. Elmo’s Fire actress added, “They have a nice relationship.” Although she hadn’t met him yet, she was thrilled to see Margaret, 24, happy.

This is the third breakup for the comedian in the past year. He previously dated Ariana, 26, and they called off their short-lived but highly publicized engagement in October 2018.
Pete then had a fling with Kate, 46, in January 2019. They were seen leaving a Golden Globes afterparty together and also went on a PDA-packed date and (barely) watched a New York Rangers game.
Margaret is known for her work in Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood and Seberg, along with The Leftovers and Fosse/Verdon.
