Just call her mama Martha.

After a meme suggesting that Pete Davidson could date or already is dating Martha Stewart following his recent split from Kim Kardashian went viral, the lifestyle guru laughed off the attention and clarified her feelings for the "Saturday Night Live" alum.

"Pete Davidson is like the son I never had," Stewart told the Daily Mail on Aug 12. "He is a charming boy who is finding his way. I've invited him to come on my podcast and I look forward to hearing what he has to say."

Stewart made her comments at the grand opening of her restaurant The Bedford by Martha Stewart at Paris Las Vegas.

E! News learned earlier this month that Davidson and Kardashian called it quits after nine months of dating. Later, a photo of Stewart holding hands with the comedian alongside the SKIMS mogul at the White House Correspondents' Dinner earlier this year started making the rounds on Twitter. The snap sparked cheeky speculation that Stewart could be Davidson's next high-profile love interest.

"We should've seen this coming," a fan wrote with the photo, which has since gained more than 44,000 likes.

Davidson has previously dated Cazzie David, Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber and Phoebe Dynevor.

Stewart, 81 previously spoke fondly of Kardashian, 41, and Davidson, 28 together, calling the former couple "an unlikely pairing" but "cute together," in a May interview with E! News. She added that "they seem to have a nice affection for one another, which is so nice."

Davidson and Stewart first met back in 2015 at Comedy Central's Roast of Justin Bieber and the two have maintained a sweet connection, with the Martha Stewart Living founder gushing that the comedian is "so cute."

Pete Davidson is reportedly prioritizing his mental health first in light of the online hate Kanye West has aimed his way. According to multiple reports, the comedian has been in trauma therapy, a step he reportedly took largely because to the numerous alarming posts Kanye made about him during his relationship with the rapper's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
