    Pete Davidson claims the focus on his love life has been "humiliating and upsetting"

    The former 'SNL' star has dated some of the world's most famous women and claimed people were only interested in his dating life because he was "ugly"


    Pete, 31, told Page Six: "Everyone is dating everyone and it's Hollywood. Look at Paul Mescal, Timmy [Chalamet], Barry Keoghan. But because I'm ugly, they wrote about me. It's embarrassing because you want people to write about your work. I was harassed for like five years and it made my life a living hell.

    "I was one of the youngest-ever cast members on 'SNL' and all that got pushed to the side because of who I was dating."

    However, he insisted he still has cordial relationships with his exes, which include Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Margaret Qualley and Kate Beckinsale.

    He said: "I've had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women and when it's ended, it's been cool."

    He even tipped former fiancée Ariana to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 'Wicked'.

    He said: "When we see each other, which is few and far between because we're not in the same circles, it's all love. I hope she wins the Oscar, I hope she takes the gold."

    Meanwhile, things have changed for Pete recently and he is taking time out from relationships.

    He said: "Over the last six months, I'm not dating. I'm starting to turn my life around."
