Pete Davidson Reveals ‘Terrifying’ Fear Of Mom Dating Again

Pete Davidson is open to his mom, Amy Water Davidson, dating again but was initially “nervous” about her meeting someone new.

The comedian has a well-documented dating history and is ready to play matchmaker for his mom as she gets back out there.

Since Pete’s dad, ScottDavidson, died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, his mom hasn’t dated anyone.

However, Pete believes she is ready to have a partner again, though he was initially apprehensive about it.

He joked, per E! News, “At first, I was nervous because I didn’t want someone to bang my mom. It’s terrifying.”

Pete also told host DrewBarrymore that his mom has “never dated.” He added, “It’s been 22, 23 years since my dad passed. She never dated. And when I asked her, she was like, ‘That’s my guy.’ And that’s so sad.”

“The King of Staten Island” star feels his mom wants a partner now, which he is happy about for a reason. He shared, “But now, I think she’d like to have a partner and someone to hang out with so I don’t have to do it so much.”

Pete is ready to find someone great for his mom but wants to be careful about it because he once tried to set her up with actor JonHamm, but it didn’t work out.

He revealed, “I got to be careful because a couple of years ago, you know the lovely Jon Hamm? So my mom has a huge crush on him. And he was single at the time.”

Pete said he urged Hamm to be “extra nice to his mom. He said, “And I know him because he comes to SNL all the time. So I was like, hey, you know what would be really funny? I was like, ‘You should be extra nice to my mom.’ And he was like, ‘No problem.’ He’s like, ‘That’d be great.'”

The comedian’s matchmaking efforts didn’t eventually yield the desired results, but he has nothing but respect for Hamm, who tied the knot with Anna Osceola in 2023 and remains nice to his mom.

He said about the “Nostalgia” actor, “He’s such a daddy. And he’s a nice guy. He would have been nice anyway. And he’s always nice to her when he sees her now.”

This isn’t the first time Pete has opened up about his mom’s dating life. During the October 10, 2023, episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” he shared his matchmaking plans for Amy.

“I’m really excited just because I’m trying to find my mom someone to date,” he said per Us Weekly. “She hasn’t been with anybody in, like 23 years.”

Pete called his mom a “good catch” before adding, “It’s like, you know, brand-new down there, so if anybody … I’ve been trying to find someone nice, you know, for my mom.”

However, the 31-year-old admitted that he wasn’t sure what kind of man his mom wanted, saying, “We don’t talk about that stuff.”

Yet, he joked that he needed “someone to take care of her and get her off of my hands.”

Pete Davidson has a history of failed relationships with some of the biggest female celebrities.

During his appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Pete gave an insight into his relationships and the role he assumes when he is dating someone.

He revealed, “I’m the girl, I think, whenever I’m in a relationship. So some guys are shy and like when a lady’s like, ‘Hey.'”

The “Dog Man” actor, who grew up with his mom, Amy, and sister, Casey Davidson, after his dad’s death, stressed his preference for assertive partners.

He explained, “Because I grew up with all ladies in the house. So, I act pretty feminine.”

Since his split from Cline, Pete hasn’t been linked to another woman, although fans believe it won’t be too long until he’s off the market yet again.
