Although Matt Rife and Kate Beckinsale’s first attempt at a relationship didn’t work out, Beckinsale eventually gave him a second chance. According to People, Rife escorted Beckinsale to a comedy show hosted by Dave Chappelle in September of 2018. In pictures published by the publication, the parties were coupled up, suggesting that they obviously had some unfinished business. By the start of the new year, Rife was again on the outs, however. Given how quickly Beckinsale moved on with Davidson, it appears that Rife didn’t get the closure he needed.

Maybe this could explain why Rife seemed extra bothered when TMZ asked him about Beckinsale’s relationship with Davidson in March of that year. After first describing his relationship with Beckinsale as “complicated,” Rife offered Davidson some advice about how to navigate dating his ex. “Man to man. Run,” said Rife. “Enjoy it while you can.” He continued, “I hope they’re both happy. I hope that it can build to where it’s an established, good relationship.” Rife also shut down any possible hope of getting back together with Beckinsale.
