The memes about Martha and Pete began circulating online after the two were pictured holding hands in DailyMail.com’s exclusive photos from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in April.
It was a purely friendly gesture, as they were posing together with the comedian’s then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian, who split from him earlier this month.
Given Pete’s penchant for dating a string of high-profile celebrity women, Martha became a popular guess as to his next love interest, despite her being more than 50 years his senior.

Prior to his nine months dating the Skims billionaire, Pete was briefly engaged to Ariana Grande, and he carried on short relationships with Kate Beckinsale, Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber and Cazzie David, among others.
His split from Kim came seemingly as a surprise, though the two reportedly drifted apart gradually due to their at-odds schedules.
The lovebirds were already bicoastal, with Pete based in New York City while Kim lived in Los Angeles with her children, but he had recently ben spending a great deal of time in Australia while filming.
