Pete Davidson, busy with preparations for his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live, is also playing cupid for his mom. During a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson expressed excitement in finding a new companion for his mom, Amy Waters Davidson, who has been single for over two decades.
Pete, who is set to host the SNL episode on Saturday, October 14, with musical guest Ice Spice, referred to his mom as a "great catch" and mentioned that she has recently entered the dating scene. He emphasized his desire to find a compatible and caring partner for his mom, jokingly stating that it would relieve him of some responsibilities.
Amy commemorated her late husband, Scott Davidson, who tragically passed away in 2001. In a touching Instagram post, which she shared last month, Amy honored Scott's memory as a firefighter who lost his life during the September 11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center. Accompanied by heartfelt words, Amy captioned a slideshow of pictures that featured childhood photographs of Scott with their son Pete and daughter Casey, who is now 25 years old. Amy's message emphasized the importance of cherishing life's happiest moments and forever remaining thankful.
Pete, on his part, has been open about how his father's passing had a profound impact on his upbringing. "My childhood wasn't great. Dad passed away early, mom was single, and I had a new sister. I didn't handle it well," he shared during a July 2022 episode of Kevin Hart's Hart to Heart. "It was like living through a never-ending nightmare."

During the conversation with Hart, Pete expressed his aspiration to become a father in the future. He described it as his ultimate dream and mentioned how exciting it would be to dress up his future child. Pete eagerly looks forward to this new chapter in his life.
The Bupkis star has recently embarked on a new romantic journey with Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline, following his separation from former costar Chase Sui Wonders. According to an exclusive source, Pete and Madelyn are officially dating. Last month, they spent the night at the Beverly Hills Hotel and enjoyed breakfast together the next morning. They kept things low-key and casual, both donning baseball hats.
Shortly after news of their relationship surfaced, 25-year-old Cline was spotted supporting Pete at his "Pete Davidson Live" stand-up show in Las Vegas on September 23. Another insider revealed that she was laughing uncontrollably and had a constant smile on her face throughout the show. Additionally, the two stayed together at the luxurious Crockfords suite at Resorts World.
The couple's connection has quickly become strong, according to a third source who spoke with Us. Pete is smitten with Madelyn's dry sense of humor, finding it adorable because he shares the same trait. Thankfully, their close circle of friends has proven to be trustworthy, as they have socialized with various individuals at multiple events without any leaks about their romantic relationship.
