Pete Davidson Addresses His Relationship With Kaia Gerber On ‘SNL’
Pete Davidson is coming clean about his relationship with Kaia Gerber. During the December 21 episode of Saturday Night Live, the comedian, 26, made a surprise appearance during the Weekend Update segment and seemingly addressed his romantic relationship with Kaia, 18.
Pete was speaking about his relationship to costar Colin Jost when he referenced Colin’s engagement to actress Scarlett Johansson. “It’s not fair Colin. You get to date a famous woman, and everyone’s delighted, but when I do it the world wants to punch me in the throat,” Pete jokingly said.
The comment was seemingly made in reference to the backlash the SNL star received over his relationship with the supermodel. Pete also expressed that he didn’t understand why people were so angry over his relationship and that he was the best option anyone could have when dating someone that looked like him. “I mean, if I’m your type of guy that your daughter or mother is into, then trust me, I’m the best-case scenario,” the comedian explained.
Adding, “There are a million guys who look like me and I’m the only one with a job. It’s like me or Tyga.”
