Pete Davidson Shifts Focus to Career: "I Want to Be Known for My Work, Not My Love Life"

Pete Davidson wants to shift the focus from his personal life to his professional achievements. In an interview with W Magazine, the comedian opened up about the challenges of being in the spotlight, particularly due to his well-publicized relationships. Reflecting on his past, Pete acknowledged the toll of fame but shared that he’s in a better mental space after stepping back from constant public scrutiny.

He emphasized his desire to be recognized for his work, stating, “I want to be out there only when it’s a movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures. I don’t want to be this loser who just dates people. That’s not who I am.” Known for high-profile relationships with stars like Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and Kate Beckinsale, Pete expressed frustration at being defined by his dating history.

Pete also admitted to taking on too much earlier in his career, learning over time that “less is more.” He cited actors like Christian Bale, who carefully select projects, as inspiration. "The secret is letting people miss you," he explained.

Recently, Pete faced rumors about entering rehab after a breakup with Maria Georgas, a former Bachelor contestant. Georgas denied the claims, clarifying they never dated and confirming Pete has been sober for months. Pete himself avoided addressing the speculation, instead choosing to spend time with his family, including taking his mom to a Brooklyn Nets game.

By focusing on his craft and personal growth, Pete seems determined to rewrite his narrative.
