PETE Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski have made their debut as a couple in new photos just months after the comedian split from Kim Kardashian.
Rumors of the Saturday Night Live alum dating the model emerged after the pair were seen holding hands during a recent date night.
Pete, 28, and Emily, 31, were photographed sitting courtside together during an NBA game on Sunday.
The Bodies Bodies Bodies actor was seated next to fellow actor/comedian Ben Stiller, 56, as the New York Knicks hosted the Memphis Grizzles.
The pair appeared very chummy as Pete supplied the laughs to accompany the action occurring on the court.
The standup comic’s new relationship with the Gone Girl actress may come as a surprise to some as Pete just recently split from ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian, 42.
The former SNL funnyman and the Hulu star ended their relationship in August of this year after nine months of dating.
At the time of the breakup, it was reported that Kim and Pete had decided to just be friends.
An insider explained: “They have a lot of love and respect for each other,” before adding “but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
The couple met on the set of Saturday Night Live where they shared a kissing scene during an Aladdin magic carpet ride skit.

“It was a stage kiss, but it was still a little zing,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum admitted on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in April.
They started dating in November 2021, and a source told E! News at the time: “Pete has told her he doesn’t want to see anyone else.
“She is telling some people they aren’t super serious but she isn’t seeing anyone else… She’s trying to not make a big deal about it but is super into him.”
After they began dating, Davidson appeared on episodes of The Kardashians.
During an episode, Kim divulged: “I wasn’t even thinking, like, Oh my god, I’m going to be in a relationship with him.”
“I was just thinking, like, ‘Heard about this BDE, need to get out there.’ I was just basically DTF,” she stated later.
In season two of the family’s Hulu series, Kim can be heard gushing about Pete in several of the episodes though he noticeably lacked any on-camera appearances.

Pete and Emily’s new romance is also hot on the heels of rumors that he and Kim “shared a secret sleepover in her New York City hotel room” in October.
A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Kim made a discreet trip to the Big Apple to see her comedian ex-boyfriend, while he was filming Bupkis, right after her return from Paris Fashion Week.
“Pete visited Kim at her room and the next day Kim was seen sneaking out a back entrance of the hotel in a disguise and hopped in a waiting Escalade to visit Pete on Staten Island,” a source said.
The National Enquirer also reported on the meeting.
A rep for Kim did not return The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
‘EARLY STAGES’
A source reportedly told UsWeekly that Pete and Emily “have been talking for a couple of months now.”
Emily has only been single since July when she announced her split from her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
She shares her 20-month-old son, Sylvester, with the film producer.
As previously stated, Pete has been keeping a low profile since he and Kim broke up in August.
UsWeekly’s source told the outlet that the model and the comedian are in the very early stages of their relationship, but both really like each other.”
The insider disclosed that Pete and Emily first hit it off after they were introduced by a mutual friend.
“Pete makes Emily laugh and he loves how intelligent she is,” claimed the source.
Rumors of a new A-list romance began circulating this weekend after the pair were reportedly spotted on a date in Brooklyn, New York.
Instagram gossip account deuxmoi claimed that Pete had “his hands all over Emily.”
An alleged eyewitness claimed: “They’re clearly hooking up.”
Last month, Emily revealed how she feels about dating again following her divorce.
“I feel all the emotions. I feel anger, sadness. I feel excitement. I feel joy. I feel levity. Every day is different,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.
“The only good thing I know is that I’m feeling all those things, which is nice because it makes me believe that I’ll be okay.”
