Pete Davidson is addressing his dating history in a new podcast and the 29-year-old comedian says he doesn't understand why everyone is so fascinated by his love life.

During an appearance on the Real Ones with Jon Bernthal podcast, the Saturday Night Live alum talked about how many women he's dated and how he feels about everyone wanting to know about it.

In the clip released on Thursday, Davidson confirmed he's dated 12 people in the past decade and he doesn't believe it's "that crazy," as reported by Entertainment Tonight.

"I’m in my 20's and I’ve dated people. And for some reason, that’s very crazy and interesting to people. I don’t think it’s interesting," Davidson said.

"I’ve been in show business for, like, half my life almost -- for 14 or 15 years and on a national TV show. In 12 years I’ve dated 10 people. I don’t think that’s that crazy, but to some people, that’s very interesting. That became all anyone would talk about."

“I’m not on Instagram. I’m not on social media. I’m not, like, flexing, you know what I mean?" he said and clarified that everyone he's dated he met through work.

"I wasn’t in anyone’s DMs, no one was in mine," he said during the podcast as reported by Entertainment Tonight.

"I worked at one of the five Hollywood epicenters of where you meet people and that’s how it happened."
