Martha Stewart has made history by becoming the oldest woman to be featured on Sports Illustrated’s cover at 81. Interestingly, immediately after the news went viral, the most searched term connected to her was “Martha Stewart and Pete Davidson.”

The most searched keyword had everything to do with an old rumor which suggested that Stewart was interested in dating Davidson, who is currently 29 years old. Many of her fans have urged her through internet memes and posts that she should consider dating him.

The rumor dates back to 2022 when Stewart played a dating game on Drew Barrymore’s talk show. The lifestyle guru was asked to wave flags to a series of questions. When she was asked if she would date a man with as many tattoos as Davidson, Stewart waved the green flag, which meant yes.

That was when Barrymore pointed out that “there’s a thing on the internet” where people voiced out their wish for Stewart to go out with Davidson. “He’s dated so many women,” Stewart said. “I’m not saying that’s bad. I think that’s good. And he’s sort of cute.”

Stewart has previously met Davidson. Back in 2015, they both were present for the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. “He was this little twerp on the Bieber roast,” Stewart said. “He was even twerpier than Bieber.”

However, she made it clear at that point that although she thought Davidson is “a very good guy,” who knows how to “get in and get out,” she was not keen on dating him. “He’s like my lost son,” Stewart said.

Over the years, Stewart and Davidson have crossed paths. She met him and Kim Kardashian, Davidson’s ex-girlfriend, during the White House Correspondents’ dinner. She also hosted Davidson and his rumored current girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders at her house last month.

“They were out looking at our beautiful town of Bedford,” Stewart wrote alongside a photo on Instagram with Davidson nd Wonders. “I showed them around the farm and inside the winter house where the Easter Bunnies were getting ready for Sunday. Very cute couple!”
