Shocking Apology: Comedian Matt Rife Begs for Forgiveness from Ex Kate Beckinsale, Creating a Stir in 2019!

Comedian Matt Rife deeply regrets advising Pete Davidson to "run" from his former girlfriend Kate Beckinsale in 2019. In an interview with Elle's "Thirst Trap" released recently, Rife, 28, confessed that his recommendation stemmed from personal experience of being in a relationship that proved to be incompatible. He expressed his concern for both Davidson and Beckinsale, wanting to ensure that they approached their romance with caution and avoided repeating his own ill-fated experience.

Rife and Beckinsale had a complex year-long relationship that began in 2017 and ended in 2018. Following their split, the actress started a fling with Davidson in 2019. During an interview with TMZ, Rife offered Davidson dating advice, telling him to "run" as a man-to-man talk. "Enjoy it for now. I hope they both find happiness and can establish a strong, healthy relationship," Rife said at the time. "I wish them the best. My advice is to be cautious."

Reflecting on the past, Rife admits to behaving immaturely and irresponsibly regarding the whole ordeal.

"I deeply regret my previous remark," Rife admitted in his conversation with Elle. "Pete, if you happen to come across this, I sincerely apologize for my offensive comment. And Kate, I also extend my apologies for uttering those words. It was wrong of me to say such things."

He continued by emphasizing the importance of being cautious due to his recent experience in an incompatible relationship. His advice stemmed from his desire for individuals to safeguard their emotions and personal feelings.

Rife has since confirmed his relationship with actress Jessica Lord.

Kate Beckinsale, on the other hand, was romantically associated with Davidson after her breakup with Rife. They were initially seen together at a Golden Globes party in January 2019.

"At the time, it appeared that Kate had a genuine interest in him," revealed a source.

Romance rumors persisted as the pair was seen in February 2019, holding hands and adding fuel to the speculations.

According to an inside source at the time, "Pete is completely smitten by Kate. She brings a cool and fun vibe to their relationship. Despite the distance, they are taking things gradually. She has a great sense of humor, and he admires her intelligence. Moreover, their physical chemistry is undeniable."

After a passionate few months, their relationship gradually cooled off by May 2019.

A source confirmed to Us at that time, "They have ended things." Prior to this, another insider had revealed that Beckinsale and Davidson had decided to slow down their relationship, stating that although they were still spending time together, their dynamic had shifted to a more friendly and less romantic vibe.
