All eyes are on Kate Beckinsale andPete Davidson’s budding relationship — much to the surprise of the actress.
The Widowstar, 45, opened up in a new interview about the amount of attention her relationship with theSaturday Night Livecomic, 25, has sparked and said she finds it rather unexpected.
Despite the intense scrutiny, Beckinsale said she’s stuck around because to her, there’s more to the relationship than inspiring a media circus.
“I think if you liked the person less, you would bow out of it,” she said. “If that were the main thrust of the relationship, there would be a problem. But it’s not … I’d rather not having people hiding outside my house. It’s a little old fashioned to have a woman’s personal life [looked at like that]. It’s a little bit tired.”
