Pete Davidson Height 2026: How Tall Is Pete Davidson?

Pete Davidson height is 6 feet 3 inches (191 cm) — that is the figure listed on IMDb, repeated by most major outlets, and confirmed by Davidson himself in a 2015 Saturday Night Live appearance. As of November 10, 2026, the Staten Island comedian and actor stands about six inches above the average American man, and his height has been part of his stage act, his screen roles, and his public image ever since he joined SNL at age 20.

There is one honest wrinkle in the numbers. The measurement site CelebHeights lists Davidson at 6 feet 1.5 inches, and a handful of outlets print 6 feet 2 inches. This page gives you the full range — 6 feet 1.5 inches to 6 feet 3 inches — explains where each number comes from, and shows why 6 feet 3 inches remains the figure to use. You will also find his height in centimetres and metres, side-by-side comparisons with Kevin Hart, Jimmy Fallon, Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian, and the money side of his career: eight seasons on SNL, The King of Staten Island, Bupkis, stand-up specials, and a net worth estimated between $4 million and $10 million depending on the source and the year.

Davidson was born Peter Michael Davidson on November 16, 1993, in Staten Island, New York. He is 32 years old as of this writing and turns 33 on November 16, 2026. His father, Scott Matthew Davidson, was a New York City firefighter who died in the September 11 attacks when Pete was seven. That loss, his Staten Island upbringing, his tattoos, his health struggles, and his habit of turning all of it into jokes became the raw material of a career that took him from open mics to Studio 8H, then to film leads and a Peacock series built around his own life.

How Tall Is Pete Davidson? The Short Answer

Pete Davidson is 6 feet 3 inches tall. In metric terms that is 191 centimetres, or 1.91 metres. The number comes from IMDb, which lists him at 6 feet 3 inches, and it is the figure used by most profile pages, including Who’s Dated Who, BiographyKind, Celebsline and BodyMeasurements.org. It is also the number Davidson gave himself. In a 2015 Saturday Night Live appearance he confirmed his height as 6 feet 3 inches, and the entertainment site Nicki Swift, reporting on the question in November 2021, called Davidson himself “the most credible source” on the matter.

So why do some pages say 6 feet 2 inches, and why does CelebHeights say 6 feet 1.5 inches? Three reasons explain nearly all of the gap. First, height listings are copied from one another, and a single early error can live on for years. Second, people are measured at different times of day, in different shoes, and at different ages, and a tall, thin man can look taller or shorter depending on who stands next to him. Third, CelebHeights works from photographs and public appearances rather than from a studio measurement, so its figure is an estimate built on comparison, not a tape-measure reading.

For this article, the honest way to state it is a range with an anchor: 6 feet 1.5 inches to 6 feet 3 inches, anchored at 6 feet 3 inches (191 cm). If you need one number for a profile, a caption, or a trivia answer, use 6 feet 3 inches. If you want to be precise about the disagreement, say that IMDb and Davidson himself say 6 feet 3 inches while CelebHeights estimates 6 feet 1.5 inches.

That puts Davidson well above the average. The average adult man in the United States stands about 5 feet 9 inches tall, according to figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Davidson clears that by six inches. He is also taller than most of the comedians he came up with, which is part of why his height became a running joke in the first place: a lanky, tattooed 20-year-old standing a head above the rest of the SNL cast was hard to miss, and the show leaned into it.

The Height Evidence: IMDb, CelebHeights and Pete Himself

A height claim is only as good as the evidence behind it, and Davidson’s case is a useful example of how celebrity measurements get built, copied, and argued over. There is no official studio measurement on the public record. What exists instead is a chain of listings, one self-confirmation, and one careful independent estimate. Here is each piece, dated where the date is known.

IMDb: 6 feet 3 inches. IMDb is the most widely cited source for Davidson’s height, and its listing has stayed at 6 feet 3 inches for years. IMDb’s height figures come from a mix of studio biographies, press material, and user submissions, so the listing on its own is not proof. But its staying power matters: when a figure survives years of edits on a heavily watched page, it usually means no better-sourced number has displaced it. Most profile sites that list Davidson at 6 feet 3 inches trace back, directly or indirectly, to this listing.

Davidson himself, on SNL in 2015: 6 feet 3 inches. This is the strongest single piece of evidence. During his second season on the show, Davidson confirmed his height as 6 feet 3 inches on air. Nicki Swift’s November 2021 piece, “How Tall Is Pete Davidson?”, reported the exchange and treated his own word as the deciding factor. A comedian can joke about his height, and Davidson has, but a straight confirmation on his own show, in his early twenties when he had stopped growing, carries more weight than any database entry.

CelebHeights: 6 feet 1.5 inches. CelebHeights is a specialist site that estimates celebrity heights from photographs, comparing the subject with people of known height standing beside them. Its method is careful, and its estimates are often lower than the listed figures, because listed figures tend to round up and because shoes add an inch or more in photographs. CelebHeights’ 6 feet 1.5 inches for Davidson is therefore best read as a barefoot, photo-based estimate, not as a contradiction of the 6 feet 3 inches figure so much as a different way of measuring the same man.

The 6 feet 2 inches middle ground. A few outlets, including Writeminer in an October 2026 update, describe Davidson as “about 6 feet 2 or 6 feet 3 inches tall.” That phrasing is honest about the spread in the sources, and it shows how the disagreement gets handled by careful writers: they give the range rather than picking a side. The British Council’s English-learning blog reached the same place in its own way, noting claims of 6 feet 2 inches and 6 feet 1 inch before settling on “approximately 6 feet 3 inches (190.5 cm)” as the most widely accepted answer.

What the photos say. Davidson’s height reads clearly in group photographs. On SNL, he stood visibly taller than Colin Jost (listed at 5 feet 10.5 inches) and Michael Che (listed at 6 feet 2 inches), and roughly level with the show’s taller cast members. Beside Ariana Grande, who is listed at 5 feet 0.5 inches to 5 feet 3 inches depending on the source, the gap was more than a foot, and it became one of the most photographed height differences in celebrity coverage of 2018. Beside Kim Kardashian, listed at 5 feet 2 inches, the difference was similar. None of this proves a number to the inch, but it rules out the idea that Davidson is of average height, and it fits a man in the 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches band.

How we weighed it. When a subject confirms a figure himself, when the largest database agrees, and when most outlets repeat it, that figure becomes the anchor. An independent photo-based estimate that runs 1.5 inches lower is worth reporting, because readers deserve to know the disagreement exists, but it does not outweigh the subject’s own statement. That is why this article anchors at 6 feet 3 inches and reports the range openly.

Pete Davidson Height in Centimetres, Feet and Inches

Searches for a celebrity’s height come in several forms, and the same measurement looks different in each one. Here is Davidson’s height converted cleanly, so whatever unit you searched for, the answer is in front of you.

Two small notes on the conversions. First, 6 feet 3 inches is exactly 190.5 centimetres, which is why some outlets print 190 cm and others print 191 cm: both are roundings of the same measurement. Second, the 1.5-inch gap between the IMDb figure and the CelebHeights figure is about 4 centimetres, which is roughly the height of a shoe heel plus a morning-to-evening change in spinal compression. That is how small the disagreement really is. Nobody who has stood next to Davidson has ever described him as short, and nobody has ever suggested he is 6 feet 5 inches, the figure that belongs to a different Pete Davidson — a football player whose Pro-Football-Reference page sometimes surfaces in search results for the name.

His weight is listed less consistently. Who’s Dated Who puts him at 183 lbs (83 kg). Other profile pages give a band of 170 to 180 lbs (77 to 81 kg). The spread makes sense: Davidson is a thin man whose weight has moved up and down over a decade in the public eye, through periods of touring, filming, rehab, and sobriety. At 6 feet 3 inches and roughly 180 lbs, his body mass index sits in the low twenties, which matches the lanky frame that has been his visual signature since his teens.

How His Height Compares With Other Comedians

Height matters in comedy in a way it does not in most other jobs. A stand-up works alone on a stage, and the audience reads the body before the first joke lands. A tall comic can loom over the microphone; a short comic can use the gap as a punchline. Davidson’s height gave him a physical presence that his soft-spoken delivery then undercut, and that contrast became part of his act. Here is how he measures up against the comedians he is most often compared with.

Kevin Hart: 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 4 inches. The contrast could hardly be sharper. Hart, listed at 5 feet 2 inches on some pages and 5 feet 4 inches on others, has built much of his stand-up around being short. Davidson is roughly a foot taller than him. Put the two men side by side and the difference is the whole joke before either of them speaks. For the full picture of the other side of that comparison, see Kevin Hart height on Celebamerica.

Jimmy Fallon: 6 feet 0 inches. Fallon, the Tonight Show host who gave Davidson early stand-up spots on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and whose own late-night stage Davidson played, is listed at 6 feet 0 inches. Davidson stands about three inches taller than him, a gap that shows in photographs of the two men together. Read Jimmy Fallon height for the full breakdown of Fallon’s measurement and how it compares with other late-night hosts.

Colin Jost: 5 feet 10.5 inches. Jost, Davidson’s Weekend Update desk partner for years, is listed at 5 feet 10.5 inches. Davidson had four and a half inches on him, which the show used in visual gags: Davidson slouching next to Jost, or towering over the desk while Jost sat upright.

Michael Che: 6 feet 2 inches. Che, the other half of the Weekend Update desk, is listed at 6 feet 2 inches, just an inch below Davidson. The two men are close enough in height that photographs of them together are often used by height-watchers as a reference point, and they support the 6 feet 3 inches figure rather than a much lower one.

John Mulaney: 6 feet 0 inches. Mulaney, another SNL writer-turned-stand-up who came through the same New York scene, is listed at 6 feet 0 inches. Davidson is about three inches taller.

Bill Burr: 5 feet 10 inches. Burr, who played Davidson’s stepfather figure in The King of Staten Island, is listed at 5 feet 10 inches. On screen, the five-inch gap between them reads as a generational difference: the older man solid and compact, the younger man all limbs.

The pattern is plain: among the comedians of his generation, Davidson is one of the tallest. Only a handful of his peers, such as the 6 feet 2 inch Che, come close. That height, paired with a thin frame and a habit of dressing in oversized clothes, gave him a silhouette that audiences could pick out of a line-up at a glance.

Height on Screen: SNL, Films and Stand-Up

Television flattens height. A camera at chest level, a seated interview, or a two-shot framed tight on faces can hide a foot of difference. That is one reason Davidson’s height surprises people who have only seen him on a phone screen: on SNL, he spent much of his time sitting at the Weekend Update desk, where height barely registers. It was in the sketches where he stood — in hallways, on fake streets, beside guest hosts — that the full 6 feet 3 inches showed.

His stand-up staging made the same point. Davidson performs with a microphone on a stand, and a tall comic has to adjust the stand upward or hold the mic in his hand. Watch his specials — Pete Davidson: SMD (2016), Alive from New York (2020), and Turbo Fonzarelli (2024) — and you can see the adjustment: the mic sits high, his shoulders hunch slightly as he leans into it, and the stoop becomes part of the body language of the act. It is a small detail, but it is the kind of detail that tells you the height is real and not a database fiction.

In film, directors have used his height in different ways. In The King of Staten Island (2020), Judd Apatow framed him as a young man who had not grown into his own frame: tall, shambling, too big for the childhood bedroom he still slept in. The visual joke of a 6-foot-3 man living like a teenager in his mother’s house landed because the height made the arrested development literal. In The Suicide Squad (2021), his character Blackguard was a minor figure, and his height did not matter; in Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), it made him the obvious physical presence in a group of young actors. In Meet Cute (2022), opposite Kaley Cuoco, who is listed at 5 feet 6 inches, the nine-inch gap shaped the blocking of their scenes together.

Voice work removes height from the picture entirely, which may be one reason Davidson has taken so much of it: Mirage in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), Marmaduke (2022), and roles in The Angry Birds Movie 2. On a voice stage, nobody can see how tall you are, and the performance has to carry itself. Davidson’s voice — flat, tired, funny in a way that sounds like he is telling you a secret — works just as well without the body attached.

There is also the simple fact that height photographs well in fashion and advertising. Davidson’s endorsement work — Super Bowl commercials, campaigns for Taco Bell, Manscaped, Smartwater, Totino’s and Hellmann’s, all named by Parade in its 2026 net worth report — put a tall, tattooed, instantly recognisable figure in front of cameras. Brands do not hire a man for his height alone, but a 6-foot-3 frame in a suit photographs with a presence that a shorter man has to work harder to match.

Early Life in Staten Island

Peter Michael Davidson was born on November 16, 1993, in Staten Island, the southernmost borough of New York City. His mother, Amy Waters Davidson, worked as a school nurse. His father, Scott Matthew Davidson, was a New York City firefighter. He has a younger sister, Casey. The family lived a working-class Staten Island life: Catholic school, local sports, and a borough that New Yorkers from Manhattan treated as a punchline long before Davidson started treating it as one himself.

When Pete was seven, his father died in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Scott Davidson was a firefighter with Ladder Company 118 in Brooklyn Heights, and he was among the 343 firefighters killed at the World Trade Center. Pete has talked about that loss in interviews, in stand-up, and on SNL throughout his career, and it shaped him in ways he has never hidden: grief, anger, a dark sense of humour, and a need to make rooms full of strangers laugh. The King of Staten Island would later turn that story into fiction, with Davidson playing a version of himself whose firefighter father had died on the job.

School was not a smooth run. Davidson attended St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School, then Tottenville High School, then Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, and he later enrolled briefly at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights before leaving to pursue comedy. He has said he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease as a teenager, a chronic inflammatory bowel condition that caused stomach pain and weight swings, and that he began smoking marijuana as a way of managing the pain. He started doing stand-up at 16, performing at open mics around New York while still a teenager, and he has said the stage was the first place where the things that made him different — the grief, the illness, the Staten Island accent — got laughs instead of sympathy.

Staten Island matters to the Davidson story in a way that goes beyond biography. It is the setting of his best work, the butt of his jokes, and the place he keeps returning to in his material. The borough’s mix of firefighters, cops, nurses, and kids who never left is the world his comedy comes from, and his height is part of that world too: a tall kid in a small place, easy to spot, hard to ignore, using jokes to turn being noticed into being liked.

From Open Mics to Saturday Night Live

Davidson began stand-up at 16, working open mics in New York and building a set out of the raw material of his life. His early television breaks were small: MTV’s Guy Code, Failosophy, and Wild ‘n Out, plus guest spots on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Friends of the People. He did stand-up on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Adam DeVine’s House Party, and he caught the eye of Bill Hader, who recommended him to SNL creator Lorne Michaels after working with him on the film Trainwreck (2015).

The call came in 2014. Davidson joined Saturday Night Live for its 40th season, with the premiere airing on September 27, 2014. He was 20 years old, one of the youngest cast members in the show’s history, and the first cast member born in the 1990s. He started as a featured player and worked his way up to repertory status. Over eight seasons and 159 episodes, he became known for his Weekend Update appearances with Colin Jost and Michael Che, where he talked about his father, his mental health, his relationships, and his tattoos in a flat, confessional style that felt new on a show built on characters and impressions.

His SNL years were also the years his personal life became tabloid news. The show gave him a national stage; the tabloids gave him a national audience for everything off it. He has said the attention was hard to live with, and that the show’s writers’ room was sometimes the only place where he could turn a bad week into a joke and get paid for it. He left SNL in May 2022, at the end of season 47, alongside Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney. He returned once, as host, on October 14, 2023, opening season 49 and becoming the 38th former cast member to come back as host.

Pay on SNL is not published per cast member, but the show’s pay bands are widely reported. Parade’s 2026 report on Davidson’s finances explains the structure: starting cast members make roughly $3,000 to $15,000 per episode, top cast members make around $25,000 per episode, and a full 21-episode season at $15,000 an episode works out to $315,000. Davidson, over eight seasons, would have worked his way up that scale, and Parade reports that he was earning upwards of $500,000 a year from the show by the end of his run. The show was never his whole income, but it was the steady base that let him take film roles, tour, and sign endorsement deals.

The King of Staten Island and the Film Career

Davidson’s film debut was a small part in Trainwreck (2015), Amy Schumer’s comedy directed by Judd Apatow. It was a foot in the door with the director who would matter most to his career. In 2019, he starred in and executive produced Big Time Adolescence, a coming-of-age comedy that played Sundance and showed he could carry a film. The real step forward came in 2020, when he co-wrote and starred in The King of Staten Island with Apatow directing.

The film is a semi-autobiographical comedy-drama. Davidson plays Scott Carlin, a 24-year-old Staten Island slacker still living with his mother, grieving a firefighter father who died on the job, and drifting through tattoos, weed, and dead-end plans. Marisa Tomei plays his mother, Bill Burr plays the firefighter who starts dating her, and Bel Powley plays his girlfriend. The film was released in June 2020, during the pandemic, as a premium video-on-demand title, and it earned strong reviews for its honesty about grief. It is the work Davidson is most likely to be remembered for, and the one where his height, his frame, and his Staten Island manner are most fully part of the character: a big kid who has not grown up, in a house that has not changed since he was seven.

After SNL, the film work kept coming. He played Blackguard in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad (2021), a small but memorable part. He starred in Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), A24’s horror-comedy, and Meet Cute (2022) with Kaley Cuoco. In 2023, he appeared in three franchise films in a single year: Phlektik in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Bowie in Fast X, and the voice of Mirage in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. The same year, he starred in and co-created Bupkis, a Peacock series that turned his life into an exaggerated, stylised comedy, with Edie Falco as his mother and Joe Pesci as his grandfather. The show was renewed for a second season, but Davidson chose not to proceed with it.

His more recent screen work includes The Pickup (2025), a heist comedy with Eddie Murphy, and The Home (2025), a horror film. In April 2021, he was cast as Joey Ramone in a Netflix biopic, I Slept With Joey Ramone, a part that fit his look and his New York roots, though the project’s later status has been unclear. Across more than 20 feature films, the pattern is steady: directors cast him as the funny, damaged, oddly sweet young man, and his height gives that character a physical size that makes the vulnerability underneath it more striking.

Stand-Up Specials and Touring

Stand-up is where Davidson started, and it is the part of his career he has never left. His specials trace the arc of his life in public. Pete Davidson: SMD (2016), on Comedy Central, was named for his father’s initials and built around Staten Island, grief, and being the new kid on SNL. Pete Davidson: Alive from New York (2020), on Netflix, covered his SNL backstage life, his high-profile relationships, and the scrutiny that came with them. Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends (2022) put the spotlight on other comics. Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli (2024), on Netflix, took on sobriety, adulthood, and a changed view of his own life.

Touring is also where the money is. Comedians at Davidson’s level typically earn more from live shows than from screen work: a theatre tour with hundreds of dates, merchandise, and a Netflix special fee can add up to far more than a supporting film role. Parade’s 2026 report notes that Davidson continues to earn in the hundreds of thousands a year from touring and specials after leaving SNL, and that his yearly income went into flux in 2022 when the steady SNL salary stopped. That is the normal shape of a comedy career after a long television run: the base salary goes, the touring and film fees have to carry the year, and the net worth figure moves with the work.

His stage style is easy to describe and hard to copy. He talks quietly, almost mumbling, then lands a line about his dead father or his tattoos or his ex-girlfriend with a timing that makes the room laugh before it has time to feel bad. The height feeds into it: a tall man who shrinks himself on stage, hunching over the mic, making himself smaller than he is, so the jokes land harder. Audiences who have seen him live often mention the same thing — that he looks taller in person than on television, and that the lanky frame is the first thing you notice when he walks out.

The Money: Net Worth and Income Streams

Pete Davidson’s net worth is a good example of why this site reports ranges instead of single numbers. The estimates disagree, and the disagreement itself tells a story. Parade, reporting in 2026 and citing Celebrity Net Worth, puts his net worth at $4 million, and notes that it is down from a reported $8 million in 2024. Other outlets hold the older figure: Writeminer’s October 2026 update gives a range of $8 million to $10 million, and several profile pages still list $8 million flat. Scintillating Stars, updated in November 2026, lists $6 million. One low-quality site even claims $20 million, a figure no named source supports and this article does not use.

The honest range, on the sources above, is $4 million to $10 million, with the most recent named-source anchor at $4 million (Celebrity Net Worth, via Parade, 2026). For the full net-worth breakdown — the SNL pay bands, the film fees, and how the estimate moved over time — see Pete Davidson net worth on our sister site GuideNetWorth, which covers the money angle in depth. The short version is here: Davidson made his money the slow way, season by season, and then spent a good part of it living the life that money bought.

Saturday Night Live. Eight seasons, 2014 to 2022, starting at the low end of the pay scale and rising to upwards of $500,000 a year, according to Parade. A cast member at $15,000 an episode across a 21-episode season earns $315,000; at $25,000 an episode, the top of the reported band, the same season pays $525,000. Davidson’s total SNL earnings over eight seasons would run into the low millions before tax, agent fees, and manager fees.

Film and television. Lead and supporting roles in more than 20 films, plus Bupkis on Peacock, plus voice work in the Transformers franchise and other animated films. Film fees for a comedian at Davidson’s level are not published, and this article does not guess at them. What is public is the volume: three franchise films in 2023 alone, two films in 2025, and a steady run of leads and supporting parts since 2019.

Stand-up and specials. Touring, theatre dates, and Netflix specials. Alive from New York (2020) and Turbo Fonzarelli (2024) both went to Netflix, and Netflix pays a flat fee for a special on top of whatever the tour around it earns. This is the income stream that keeps paying after a television salary ends, and it is the reason Davidson’s yearly income stayed in the hundreds of thousands after he left SNL.

Endorsements and advertising. Parade names Taco Bell, Manscaped, Smartwater, Totino’s and Hellmann’s among his brand deals, including Super Bowl commercials. Endorsement fees for a celebrity of his profile run into six figures per deal, though the exact amounts are private.

Why the estimate fell. Parade’s note that his net worth dropped from $8 million in 2024 to $4 million in 2026 is worth reading carefully. Net worth sites do not audit bank accounts; they estimate from public earnings, known assets, and reported spending, and they revise when new information appears or when old assumptions are rechecked. Davidson has spoken openly about spending heavily — on houses, cars, tattoos, and a lifestyle that matched his fame — and about periods when work slowed. A $4 million figure after a $8 million figure is not proof that he lost $4 million; it is a sign that the estimators changed their minds about what his earnings and spending add up to. Readers should treat every celebrity net worth figure, including the ones on this site, as an estimate built from public material, not as a bank statement.

Real Estate, Cars and Spending

Davidson’s property history is public enough to sketch, and it fits the pattern of a young star who bought big, early, and close to home. In 2021, he bought a house in Staten Island for a reported $1.3 million, a few minutes from his mother’s home. He has also been reported as the owner of a home in upstate New York. He is not known for a large property portfolio, and this article does not claim one: the Staten Island purchase is the best-documented deal, and the rest of his housing has been rentals and hotel rooms on tour.

Cars are a different story. Davidson has owned and been photographed with a string of high-end vehicles, including a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, a Lamborghini Huracán, and a Cadillac Escalade, and he was involved in a widely reported car crash in Beverly Hills in March 2023, when he drove a Mercedes into a fire hydrant and the side of a house. Nobody was seriously hurt, and he was later charged with reckless driving, a misdemeanour he resolved through a diversion programme. The crash became a tabloid story for a week; the car collection is the longer story, and it is part of why his net worth estimates move around. Cars lose value fast, and a garage full of them is spending, not saving.

His tattoos are the most famous spending of all, in a different sense: more than 100 of them at his peak, covering his arms, chest, neck, and hands, including tributes to his father, his exes, and his favourite films. In 2024 and 2025, he began having many of them removed, a process he has described as long, painful, and expensive, and one he undertook partly to widen the film roles he could take without hours in the make-up chair. The removal is a cost, but it is also an investment in the next phase of his career.

Personal Life and Relationships

Davidson’s relationships have been covered more than his work, and that coverage has shaped his public image as much as any film. The list is long, and it is worth giving it straight, without the commentary that usually comes attached. He dated comedian Carly Aquilino, then writer and actress Cazzie David from 2016 to 2018. In 2018, he became engaged to singer Ariana Grande after a few weeks of dating; the engagement ended in October 2018. He then dated actress Kate Beckinsale, actress Margaret Qualley, model Kaia Gerber, and actress Phoebe Dynevor.

His most watched relationship was with Kim Kardashian, from October 2021 to August 2022. The two met when Kardashian hosted SNL in October 2021, and their relationship ran through the winter and spring of 2022, ending that August. The height difference — Davidson at 6 feet 3 inches, Kardashian listed at 5 feet 2 inches — was photographed constantly, and it became a shorthand for the pairing in tabloid coverage. For Kardashian’s own profile on this site, see Kim Kardashian age on Celebamerica.

After Kardashian, he dated actress Chase Sui Wonders, his Bodies Bodies Bodies co-star, and later model Madelyn Cline. In 2025, he began dating model and actress Elsie Hewitt, and in July 2025 the couple announced they were expecting a child. Davidson has said in interviews that he wants a family, and that fatherhood is something he has thought about for years, in part because his own father died when he was seven.

He is also open about his health. He was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease as a teenager, and in 2017 he said he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and was in treatment. He has spoken about depression, anxiety, and rehab stays, and in 2024 he entered rehab again and has since spoken about sobriety. He has used all of it in his stand-up, which is both the bravest and the most complicated thing about his act: the audience laughs at material that is, on its face, a cry for help, and Davidson has made a career out of letting them.

Health, Tattoos and Public Image

Davidson’s public image is a mix of things that do not usually sit together: a tall, tattooed, funny man who talks about grief and mental illness on stage; a tabloid regular who says he hates the attention; a Staten Island kid who became famous for being himself, then found that being himself was the job. His tattoos were part of the image from the start — more than 100, including “Dad” tributes, cartoon characters, and the names of ex-girlfriends — and his decision to remove many of them in 2024 and 2025 marked a visible break with the first phase of his career.

His health is part of the story too. Crohn’s disease affects his digestion and his weight, and he has said it shaped his relationship with food and with his body. Borderline personality disorder, which he has discussed publicly since 2017, affects his moods and his relationships, and he has been in therapy and treatment for it. None of this is gossip: Davidson has put it in his act, in interviews, and in The King of Staten Island, and it is fair to report it as part of who he is.

The image that remains, after the headlines fade, is of a comedian who turned a hard childhood into a career, and who is now, in his early thirties, trying to build a second act as an actor and a father. His height will keep being asked about, because it is the simplest fact about him and the easiest to argue over. But the more interesting question is what he does with the next ten years, now that the SNL years are behind him and the film career is the main stage.

Pete Davidson Height Compared With His Famous Partners and Co-Stars

Height differences photograph well, and Davidson’s relationships gave photographers plenty of chances. Here is the comparison table readers keep searching for, with the listed heights of the people he has been photographed with most.

The Grande gap, at more than a foot, was the most commented-on of all, and it produced some of the most shared photographs of 2018: Davidson bending down to kiss the top of her head, or standing beside her at events where she barely reached his shoulder. The Kardashian gap was nearly as large. The Gerber gap, at six inches, was the smallest of his high-profile relationships, and even that is a visible difference in photographs. None of these numbers is exact to the inch — Kardashian’s height, for one, is listed at 5 feet 2 inches by most sources but 5 feet 3 inches by others — but the pattern is beyond doubt: Davidson has been, in every one of his public relationships, the much taller partner, by half a foot or more.

Co-stars tell the same story. Opposite Marisa Tomei, who played his mother in The King of Staten Island, the eleven-inch gap made the mother-son scenes work visually: a grown son towering over the woman who still treated him like a child. Opposite Eddie Murphy in The Pickup, the six-inch gap flipped the usual dynamic, with the younger man physically larger than the comedy veteran. Height is not acting, but it is casting, and casting directors have used Davidson’s frame as part of the character from the start.

What People Get Wrong About His Height

Three mistakes turn up again and again in searches about Pete Davidson’s height, and each one is easy to clear up.

Mistake one: confusing him with the football player. Search results for “Pete Davidson height” sometimes surface a Pro-Football-Reference page for a different Pete Davidson, listed at 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm). That Pete Davidson is an American football player, not the comedian. The comedian is 6 feet 3 inches. If a page tells you Pete Davidson is 6 feet 5 inches, check whether it is talking about the football player.

Mistake two: treating CelebHeights as a debunking. CelebHeights’ 6 feet 1.5 inches is a photo-based estimate, not a measurement, and it is not a claim that IMDb or Davidson himself is lying. The two figures measure different things in different ways: one is a listed height, likely in shoes, and the other is a barefoot estimate from photographs. Reporting both, as this article does, is more honest than picking one and hiding the other.

Mistake three: assuming his height helped his career in a simple way. Being tall helped Davidson get noticed, and it gave him a stage presence that a shorter comic would have to build in other ways. But it also typecast him: tall, lanky, awkward, the big kid who never grew up. His best work, from The King of Staten Island to Turbo Fonzarelli, is about outgrowing that type, and about what happens when the tall kid has to become an adult. Height opened the door; the work after that was his own.

There is one more small point worth making. Davidson’s height has not changed since 2015, when he confirmed it on SNL. Men stop growing in their late teens, and Davidson was 21 at the time. Any page that claims his height has gone up or down since then is either rounding differently or copying a different source. The number is stable; only the listings move.
