‘You lasted longer than most,’ McKinnon mused, nodding to the star’s brief romances with Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Phoebe Dynevor and Kim Kardashian.
While speaking about getting to work with the Bupkis star again, McKinnon told People: ‘I love Pete and whenever me and my colleagues see each other, it’s just this immediate sense of warmth and family.’
‘He’s so sweet and great and so it was really fun,’ she raved of their time on set.
Additionally, she described the actor as a ‘brother.’
In September, Davidson began dating Outer Banks’ Madelyn Cline, one month after his split from Chase Sui Wonders.
The comedian had dated Chase from December 2022 until news of their break up came to light in August – just two months after he entered rehab amid his ongoing battle with Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD.
At the time of their split, a separate source told Us Weekly that, ‘There’s no bad blood or any hard feelings between them.’
The insider expressed, ‘Their relationship had simply run its course and they decided they just wanted different things.’

Davidson had first crossed paths with Wonders on set of Bodies Bodies Bodies, and the actress had opened up about how their friendship morphed into a relationship during an interview with Nylon Magazine in May.
‘[Pete and I] became fast friends on Bodies, and it was just clear that we could work together super well. He’s such a pro, and acting with him is my favorite thing. As soon as I got onto Bupkis, it felt like we were flowing again,’ she stated.
The Generation star added, ‘We talk about everything and we are very open with each other about everything, and it feels like what’s happening in our relationship is very sacred.’
At the premiere of his semi-autobiographical series titled, Bupkis, Pete touched on his relationship with Chase while talking to Entertainment Tonight.
‘I mean, she’s the best. She’s the best actress. She’s gonna crush. She’s got a lot of cool stuff going so…I had a blast,’ he had gushed at the time.

The breakup comes two months after Davidson checked into rehab amid an ongoing battle with Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD.
Davidson who has spoken openly about his mental health issues, entered the facility to take a ‘mental break’.
The actor has been to rehab numerous times before – in 2017 and in 2019. In February 2020 the star confirmed that he sought treatment at the Sierra Tucson treatment center in Arizona.
