Though the former Saturday Night Live star has been said to have "BDE," during his interview with the podcast Real Ones, the 29-year-old dished that he didn't feel like much of winner because of the scrutiny around his relationships.

"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," he explained on the podcast.

In addition to dating Kimmy Cakes and getting engaged to the petite pop crooner, Pete also dated Cazzie David and Kate Beckinsale.

"I'm not, like, flexing, you know what I mean? And these people that I've dated, I met them at work," he added.

"I wasn't in anyone's DMs, no one was in mine. I worked at one of the five Hollywood epicenters of where you meet people and that's how it happened."

The King of Staten Island star, who is currently linked to his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar Chase-Sui Wonders, also digressed his discomfort with his previous romances overshadowing his work.

"Suddenly you're in this zeitgeist and that has nothing to do with the work. And that's a really sh*tty feeling. I became more known before the work was there, but I was always working," he continued.

"That's why I'm trying to … just act, be an actor in something and not just be what people think is me."
