Kate Beckinsale Addresses Rumor She Kissed Ex Matt Rife at Globes

Kate Beckinsale is calling cut on this rumor.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to address some recent speculations about my past relationship with Matt Rife, who turns out to be my ex from 2017. A rumor has been spreading that we shared a kiss at Netflix’s Golden Globes after-party on January 5th. However, I’d like to clear the air and assure everyone that there is no truth to these rumors.

According to her representative, it’s not true that they were kissing. Instead, they are former lovers who were simply enjoying each other’s company and having a good conversation.

In 2017, Kate had a brief romance with someone who was 29 years old at the time. Notably, she herself was 43, making their age difference quite significant. They were introduced by mutual acquaintances and parted ways approximately a year later.

At the moment, Matt openly admitted their 22-year age gap on Instagram, saying and then retracting, “Age is irrelevant. Seek out someone you adore, who leaves you breathless…even if it means twisting the oxygen hose connection a bit. #LifeAlertKindOfLove.

Ever since the breakup, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the news, especially when it comes to Kate and her new flame, Pete Davidson. It’s like I’m living two lives – one where they were an item, and another following their journey post-split. When I saw that they were giving love another chance, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia mixed with concern. In true Matt fashion, I felt compelled to offer some friendly advice, telling Pete to “watch out” and “be careful.” After all, love is a beautiful thing, but it can also be tricky, as I’ve learned the hard way.

He expressed to TMZ in 2019 about Kate and Pete: ‘Go ahead, run.’ He wished them happiness and hoped their bond would grow into a strong, lasting relationship.

He stated, ‘May the best for both of them prevail. I wish them joy. Frankly, I can’t offer much in the way of practical tips; just tread lightly.’

However, four years later, Matt apologized for the comments.

In the year 2023, he expressed remorse to Elle, stating, “I’m sorry for what I said, Pete, if you’re listening, and Kate, my apologies are extended to you as well. I wish I hadn’t said it.

He explained, “I offered that guidance as it was based on my own experiences, having been in a relationship and discovering we weren’t the best fit. I wanted to ensure they both took care with their feelings and avoided getting involved in something that might not succeed.

Nowadays, all that past friction seems like a distant memory between us, and we shared a delightful rapport during this year’s Golden Globe celebrations, feeling like old friends reunited.

Apart from their meeting at a previous event, Kate additionally encountered her co-star Adam Sandler at Netflix’s party, while Matt reconnected with comedians Nate Bargatze and Nikki Glaser – who had also hosted the awards show – at the official after-party of the Globes.
