Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski go public with hot new romance on flirty date at NBA game

Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski made their public debut as a couple at a basketball game at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday. 

The hot new pair were spotted court-side at a game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks.

Both Davidson, 29, and Ratajkowski, 31, were all smiles as they sat side-by-side with beers in hand among an A-list crowd that included actor/director Ben Stiller and singer Jordin Sparks. 

Davidson stepped out with a dark blue Sinclair sweatshirt and black sunglasses as he headed out to the game with his new girlfriend.

He also rocked matching dark blue pants and silver sneakers as he held a beer while sitting courtside with EmRata on Sunday evening.

The comedian was also seen sharing a laugh with longtime Knicks fan Ben Stiller as they enjoyed the NBA game.

EmRata stepped out with a white top under a brown North Face puffer coat with light blue jeans and knee-high boots for the outing.

They were first rumored to be dating earlier this month when reports claimed they were on a date in Brooklyn, holding hands. 

While the New York Knicks game is their first public outing, Ratajkowski actually spoke about why so many women find the comedian so desirable, during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers in November 2021. 

‘Obviously, women find him very attractive. Guys are like, “Wow. What’s that guy got?” And I’m like, I mean, he seems super charming,’ she said.

‘He’s vulnerable. He’s lovely. His fingernail polish is awesome. He looks good! He’s great! Good relationship with his mother. We love it,’ she added.

EmRata split with her husband, movie producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, amid rumors he was cheating on her, back in July, while Pete amicably split with Kim Kardashian in August. 

Last week, a source told Entertainment Tonight that EmRata, ‘is doing well and getting more adjusted to her life as a single mom since her divorce.’

‘She is dating and having fun with it. She’s in a good headspace. Emily has been seeing Pete and thinks he is super charismatic, funny, and a good rebound,’ the source added.

‘It is casual between them, but she likes that they’re comfortable with each other and have a good time together. Things are going well for her,’ the source said.

The New York Knicks Instagram also posted photos of the new couple at the Garden, while a few other NBA teams were clearly curious about their relationship status.

The Denver Nuggets Instagram replied in a comment, ‘Can you ask them if it’s official?’ while the Atlanta Hawks added, ‘We need more info…’ as the Knicks replied, ‘Literally same.’

Neither Pete nor Emily have commented publicly about the relationship at this time, though they did spend ‘Friendsgiving’ together last week in New York. 

After the game wrapped up, Ben was seen leaving Madison Square Garden while flashing a soft smile.

The actor and director looked relaxed in an olive green jacket over a charcoal button-up shirt and a black T-shirt, which he paired with cool gray suede Adidas sneakers.

Jordin was even more jubilant as she was seen leaving the iconic arena while flashing an infectious smile.

The songstress looked warm and cozy in a black ribbed sweater with a long, lustrous black down coat, jeans, a plaid shirt and a fuzzy black hip bag.
