Betty White’s fans call for Golden Girls star to date ladies man Pete Davidson, 27, ahead of her 100th birthday
BETTY White’s fans called for the Golden Girls star to date Pete Davidson, 27, as a part of her ultimate bucket list ahead of her 100th birthday.
The stir began when the pioneering female comedian’s name started trending on Twitter and fans were worried as Betty approaches celebrating her 100th birthday.
As a result of the mysterious buzz around Betty, fans challenged the powerhouse actress to date Pete, the young comedian recently spotted with Kim Kardashian, 41, in an ultimate bucket list before her centennial celebration.
One fan wrote in response to the commotion: “Betty White is trending again and PLEASE STOP THIS, every time her name pops up I get so worried that she’s dating Pete Davidson.”
Another humorously remarked: “The masculine urge to date Betty White before Pete Davidson does.”
A third joked: “Betty White spotted in Staten Island with Pete Davidson.”
A fourth added to the witty clamor: “I think I just saw Pete Davidson and Betty White?”
Other fans stood behind Betty being a strong bad-a**, as one wrote: “Betty White would wreck Pete Davidson.”
Another agreed adding: “I support no one dating Pete Davidson except for Betty White.
“She can do whatever tf she wants.”
A third posted: “Pete Davidson could not handle Betty White.”
A fourth remarked: “Pete Davidson would be one lucky guy.”
Many fans contributed to the goal of keeping Betty White trending, reposting the phrase: “Betty White is dating Pete Davidson.”
PETE THE PLAYER
The trending Twitter joke stems from when the Saturday Night Live star Pete was spotted on several dates with Kim, from holding hands on a roller coaster over Halloween at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA to dinner dates in Staten Island.
The unexpected celebrity couple started dating rumor sparks after appearing together in a sexual Aladdin-themed SNL skit where Kim kissed Pete as she hosted the show.
Pete recently broke his silence regarding his newfound romance with Kim in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Seth immediately put Pete in the hot seat and stated: “I want to address something.
“I feel like I want to confirm if it’s real or a rumor.”
He continued, alluding to Pete’s new love interest: “You’ve been reading a lot about it in the press.”
The king of Staten Island replied: “Yeah, you know, I’ve been wanting to talk about this because there’s a lot of people I walk by, people are whispering and you know making eyes at me.”
Pete exclaimed: “And you know, but it is true!”
He then comedically added: “I do have a show on Tubi coming out.”
The crowd erupted in laughter as Seth Meyers confirmed: “THE Tubi?”
Pete joked: “The Tubi.
“A lot of people are shocked I could get on a show like Tubi.
“But it’s a real thing.”
Seth commented: “That’s exciting,” as the two cheekily confirmed his new romance.
Despite the kindling romance, Kim has been warned by close friends to “take it slow” with Pete after he’s gained a “heartbreaker” reputation.
Pete’s past relationships included Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor, model Kaia Gerber, actress Margaret Qualley, Underworld’s Kate Beckinsale, pop singer Ariana Grande, writer Cazzie David, and MTV’s Girl Code star Carly Aquilino.
BETTY WATCH OUT
However, Pete doesn’t appear to be the only heartbreaker on the block.
As Betty made it past not only her 99th birthday, but also the peak of lockdown through the pandemic, fans passionately expressed their strong opinion that the actress should be protected as she approaches her milestone centennial birthday.
Following a scare at the start of the pandemic, fans of the Golden Girls alum wants to keep her safe.
Back in October, one tweeted: “Betty White is 99 years old and 3 months away from 100; please provide her with national security protection and wrap her safely in bubble wrap; we love her.”
Another fan posted: “When I grow up I want to be as cool and fabulous as Betty White.
“Happy Almost Birthday Queen!”
A third fan praised: “Damn Betty White is beautiful inside and out.”
A fourth called Betty “our national treasure” as a fifth fan said she must be “protected at all costs.”
YOUNG AT HEART
Betty said in January that she’s been “blessed with good health” and credited her good “sense of humor” as one of the things that keeps her going.
The star has been “extra careful” amid the pandemic, not leaving her home and staying busy with books and sharing “laughs” with her publicist, who checks in with her multiple times a week, according to TODAY.
Betty’s rep told the outlet she’s been keeping to herself the best she can and practicing social distancing if others have to be around.
The insider said: ”No one permitted in except those who must, [and she] has helpers who are great with her.”
She’s also been making friends with a couple of ducks in her “beautiful backyard” that like to “waddle up to her glass door…and say hello.”
Betty’s publicist added: ”The animal community is watching over her. The virus is afraid of Betty!”
The beloved American actress also disclosed to People that she tries her best to keep things fun and light-hearted.
She explained to the outlet: ”I don’t like the other side.
“The positive side is a lot more fun.”
The Golden Girls legend believes age is nothing but a number for her as she continues to feel good and in high spirits.
Last year ahead of her 99th birthday, Betty shared: “I am blessed with good health, so turning 99 is no different than turning 98.”
The Oak Park, Illinois native said that “a sense of humor” helps to keep her feeling young and energized.
“Don’t take yourself too seriously,” she added. “You can lie to others — not that I would — but you cannot lie to yourself.”
She doubled-down on those tips for a good life when asked for some more advice.
The Hot in Cleveland actress said: “Just looking at the positive side and not dwelling on the downside.
“Takes up too much energy being negative.
“Also having a good agent who keeps me busy all the time.”
