How Emily Ratajkowski Feels About Pete Davidson as They Reportedly Are ‘Getting More Serious’

Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson’s surprise month-plus-long romance is getting a little more serious this holiday season. People reports that while Ratajkowski and Davidson haven’t been photographed out together much since their big NBA date, they have been regularly spending time with each other on the down low. All is going very well, a source close to Ratajkowski explained.

“Em is in a great place,” the source started. Ratajkowski filed for divorce from her ex and father of her 21-month-old son Sylvester, Sebastian Bear-McClard, in September after reports of their breakup came out in July.

“Her divorce was very unexpected and rough. It took her a while to bounce back, but she is doing great now,” the source continued. “She keeps seeing Pete and is enjoying it. They are getting more serious. Pete is very chill and understanding about her being a mom too. It’s a nice situation for Em. It’s fun without any stress. Pete takes her to dinner and events. They also hang out a lot at home.”

A second source said the two work well because the two have a lot in common, believe it or not. “They are going strong and getting a little more serious,” the source said. “They have a love of the East Coast in common and similar vibes personality-wise and style-wise. And it’s always the same thing with him: he really makes her laugh and keeps things fun.”

Neither Ratajkowski nor Davidson have directly commented on their romance yet. Emrata hinted in mid-November, when dating reports first broke about them, that she wasn’t exclusively dating Davidson then. But a source close to Ratajkowski told E! around the same time that “it’s a chill relationship so far. There’s no pressure to make it exclusive, but she really likes him. Pete is charming and winning her over for sure.”
