Pete Davidson has poked fun at his relationship with Cindy Crawford's 18-year-old model daughter Kaia Gerber.

The 26-year-old comedian has admitted to being aware of critics of his latest high-profile pairing, after his previous relationships with stars including Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale.

During Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, the comedian told host Colin Jost he was dating someone, and although her didn’t mention Gerber’s name, he vented about how people hate him for dating famous women and also appeared to hint at plans for a rehab stint.

He said: “Yeah, it's not fair, Colin. You get to date a famous woman and everyone's delighted,” referring to Jost’s relationship with Scarlett Johansson.

“But when I do it, the world wants to punch me in the throat,” Davidson added, referring to his relationship with Gerber, and past relationships with Grande and Beckinsale.

He joked: “If I'm your type of guy that your daughter or mother is into, then trust me, I'm the best-case scenario. There are a million guys who look like me and I'm the only one who has a job.”

He added: “It's like me, or Tyga."

Davidson and Gerber were first romantically linked in October after enjoying a meal together at the popular brunch spot Sadelle’s in New York City.

Since then, People has reported that they have been spotted on multiple dates around the city.

Last month, the two were spotted hand-in-hand attending a friend of the model's wedding in Miami and they were also seen sharing a passionate poolside kiss.
