Kate Beckinsale is not only a gorgeous A-List actor, but judging from her social media, she appears to have a great sense of humor as well. When she first began dating Matt Rife in 2017, aside from their large age gap (Beckinsale was 43 at the time and Rife was 21), they seemed to be a great fit. Keeping their relationship under the radar, the couple split after a year. When Beckinsale began dating another millennial comedian, Pete Davidson, in 2019, TMZ caught up with Rife outside of a comedy club to see if he had any “advice” for Davidson when it came to dating the brunette starlet. “RUN,” Rife unapologetically stated to the TMZ cameras. Ouch.
Rife added that their relationship was complicated with some ups and downs, and when asked if he’d ever get back together with Beckinsale, he barely had to think about his answer. “No, absolutely not,” he blurted out. Double ouch. Although it took him almost 4 years to realize he probably shouldn’t have said those things, he did eventually apologize publicly. “I regret saying that,” Rife mentioned to Elle (via Us Weekly). “Pete, if you’re out there, sorry I said that. Kate, I also apologize that I said that. I shouldn’t have said that.” It’s rare to get a genuine apology from Matt Rife, so we’d consider this one a win!
