Recently, claims about Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson have been seen in tabloids but it seems to be based off the paparazzi taking pictures of them hugging or maybe close sources. So, I'm wondering if they really are dating.

It would be better to reframe this as a statement rather than a question. Something like this: "Claim: Emily Ratajkowski and Pete Davidson are dating."

According to a US Weekly article, Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski are in the talking stages of dating. This same source revealed an unnamed insider source who exclusively told US Weekly that "Pete and Emily have been talking for a couple months now... in the very early stages, but both really like each other.”

Good explanation and source. I also like that you included a quote from the source to support your stance. Don't forget to add a rating, such as "likely not misinformation."

This article claims that Emily posted a tiktok discrediting the media. Stating she isn't in a place to date right now.

If you were able to find Emily's TikTok discrediting the media and proving or insinuating she's not dating Pete that would further support your fact-check. Don't forget to add a rating (re: see sidebar), such as "likely misinformation."

It is safe to say that Pete and Emrata are at least in the talking stages of dating, as they were seen at the Knicks game on what could be considered a "date". According to GQ Magazine, Pete and Emily were photographed at the Knicks game as seen all over social media. This is at least the second outing that they have been seen out on, so it can be safe to say they might be starting to date. Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski Wore Incredibly Normal Outfits to a Knicks Game | GQ

I heard Pete Davidson and Emily Ratajkowski were dating. A source from Us Weekly stated, “Pete and Emily have been talking for a couple of months now,” adding that the stars were “in the very early stages, but both really like each other.” Everyone is waiting for them to go public on social media.

I like that your fact-check includes a quote, source, and explanation. Don't forget to add a rating, such as "likely not misinformation," in this case.
