Wed Jul 16 08:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Madelyn Cline Reflects on Pete Davidson Romance, Explains Single Status
**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Actress Madelyn Cline, 27, is opening up about her brief relationship with comedian Pete Davidson, offering a lighthearted take on the former couple’s time together. In a recent interview with Allure, the *Outer Banks* star, who was linked to Davidson in September 2023 before splitting in July 2024, playfully addressed the media frenzy surrounding their romance. “The jokes, they write themselves,” Cline quipped, adding, “He has a really cute dog and some really great girlfriends now.”
Davidson, currently dating actress Elsie Hewitt, has a history of high-profile relationships, including engagements to Ariana Grande and connections to Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and others. Sources close to Davidson have indicated he remains on good terms with many of his exes, including Cline, with one insider telling PEOPLE in October 2024 that “it just ran its course” between the pair.
Davidson himself addressed the public scrutiny surrounding his love life in February, calling it “humiliating and upsetting.” He contrasted the attention he receives to that of other male celebrities, suggesting his appearance played a role in the intensity of the media focus.
Meanwhile, Cline confirmed she is currently single, citing her demanding travel schedule as a deterrent to dating. “I want to experience this life on my terms first, before I do all the relationship stuff,” she told Allure.
Cline, previously linked to her *Outer Banks* co-star Chase Stokes, also discussed the challenges of navigating a public relationship, admitting that the breakup with Stokes left her feeling lost. “Banks and that public relationship was kind of my identity,” she confessed on the Therapuss podcast in March, highlighting the struggle of defining herself outside the context of her on and off-screen romances.
Cline appears to be focusing on her career and personal growth, prioritizing her own experiences before diving back into the dating world.
