Pete Davidson was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night, where he confirmed his engagement to Ariana Grande. You can see the video and some quotes below. Prior to this Pete and Ariana revealed their engagement via social media, where they’ve also given hints that they’ve moved in together. TMZ and People have details of their 4,000 foot five-bedroom four and a half-bath New York City luxury apartment and it sounds amazing. Sting lives in that building and it has perks including its own IMAX theater that can be reserved for events. It’s unclear whether they bought it or are renting. They’ve also been photographed out shopping for furniture and going to dinner. On Fallon’s show, Pete enthused about Ariana, just as he’s done on Instagram. He was endearing and funny.
I feel like I won a contest, so sick.
How are you handling it all right now?
It’s f’ing lit Jimmy. It’s so funny walked by the street. Cause like dudes are walking by and they’re like [tips hat]. Some dude goes to me ‘Yo man, you like gave me hope.’I’m like ‘I didn’t know I was that ugly.’ I’m a lucky m-f’ker.
Why do people care it’s like weird. It’s weird because the President is trying to pardon himself because he’s like f’ed a porn star. It’s just like – shouldn’t we care about that?
Robert Pattinson was on too and Pete starting talking about how awesome Rob’s 2017 film, Good Time, was. He claimed he’s seen the movie 30 times and he was wearing a shirt featuring Rob’s character from it. I saw the trailer for this and remember being impressed. Pete was in it for ten seconds, his friend Debo produced it, and he showed a clip from the film, which is already out on DVD and streaming.
As for his job on Saturday Night Live, Pete downplayed it, saying he was just a background player and “I’m like that guy that just comes in that’s like ‘I got pizza!’ and is like gone.”
Pete kept swearing and getting bleeped so Jimmy told him “You know you can’t say that on here.”
“Hey, you asked me to be on here.”
After that Jimmy said that it was Pete’s last appearance on his show and Pete joked “I’ll go on Seth. I actually have Seth’s number. I don’t have your number.”
OK, I get it. Pete is self deprecating, funny and charming. I still think he moved way too fast with Ariana, but it’s fun to watch. I’m entertained by this story. That’s why we’re watching this for a moment instead of the nightmare of a baby-snatching Nazi in the oval office. Pete knows that and he’s playing it up.
Look at how cute they are together! These photos are from yesterday.
Also I guess one of them or one of their friends IG storied this video of their shopping trip to Restoration Hardware.

Really? A sweatshirt? Thigh high boots? It’s been freaking hot in New York.
Seems to be her go to day-to-day outfit combo:
https://twitter.com/_worldupdate/status/1009118717031141376/
I wish she’d stop with the heavy self tan or even change tanning brand or “tan artist” because whatever shade/aesthetician she’s got at the moment is way off.
Maybe she didn’t wear pants or shorts because of the hot weather
Thatās exactly my thought. Itās hot af this week in nyc. How is she wearing boots and sweater?
How many of those giant sweat shirts you think she has in her closet?š
This seems like an unhealthy relationship.
the relationship with Davidson or the relationship with sweatshirts and boots in the summer?
This is a total rebound relationship. But I hope it surprises everyone.
I have to say I like her a little more for going for the goofy guy. Nothing is better than being with someone who can make you laugh. Plus Iām sure he treats her like a queen bc he feels so lucky.
Doesn’t seem rebound to me. I think they’re both talented, funny and adorable- very well suited. His Dad was a firefighter who died in the towers, Pete was only 7 or 8 at the time and of course that really traumatized him.
I thought Pete was biracial or black when I first saw him, I was floored when I found out he wasn’t. Lol (btw I’m black)
They were both in different relationships with different people 6 wks ago….. so this is definitely a āclassicā rebound. But I do hope it lasts.
Not sure what his dad dying has to do with this?! Heās actually brought up his fathers death in his stand up. Partically in a comedy channel roast. He didnāt seem traumatized. I thought I read somewhere that his dad wasnāt really in his life prior to his death… but I could be wrong.
Hi @MissKitties
6 wks ago, eh? Love happens that way sometimes. So we’ll see how they do.
As for it being a “classic” rebound, it seems you’re not too clear on the meaning of the word/phrase. You should look up the definition of ‘rebound,’ it’s not JUST about starting a new relationship on the heels of another, as everyone knows you can meet the love of your life 1 day after settling for someone you’re really not that into.
The defining aspect of a *rebound relationship* is that it’s believed it will be short-lived primarily due to one or both parties desire to distract themselves from a previous painful breakup. I don’t know if Pete’s or Ariande’s previous breakups were painful and something they didn’t want or not, and neither do you. To say otherwise would be bizarre on your part. Characterizing their subsequent new relationship as rebound could be, and probably is, way off base.
I brought up his Dad’s death in the towers as a traumatizing event because he said it was, and because he’s spoken about it and put it in his act (he described it as laughter being the best medicine) it’s pertinent to the ongoing discussion surrounding his depression and his emotional stability and drug dependency (he’s clean now) through the years. He describes himself as a young boy, with behavioral problems due to the 9/11 trauma and losing his dad- he said he ripped his hair out for years as a child. So you trying to infer he feels nothing and/or isn’t traumatized by the death of a father that was in his life that he lived very much, is especially cruel and callous. Gawd.
What’d Pete Davidson ever do to you?!
I actually like him & have followed his career since MTVās girl code/guy code days… when he dated Carly Aquilino. I guess Iām not as emotionally invested in him as you tho… no hate
I canāt unsee him as Obama. Is it possible thatās why you thought he was black?
This might sound strange, but, with slightly older age ranges, I’m dating a guy who looks very similar to Pete and, no, I do not look at all like Grande.
Lol, I’m too pale for starters.
Anyway, we met around the same time as they did and are practically moving in together now. No rebound, however. Both of us have been out of a relationship for a while prior.
Point is, this is possible. I’ve taken my time before and it was terrible as relationships go.
Sometimes you just know.
Either way, no one dies if it ends.
Let it go how it goes. My parents knew each other very shortly. Still married.
Good luck
This. I moved across the country with my then-boyfriend after 5 months of dating. We’ve been together almost 7 years and just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary, and neither of us could see ourselves being weird with other people for the rest of our lives. I will put a disclaimer in that we had briefly dated a little over a year prior to getting together for good but it was a bad breakup (I had a bad background and he was good to me, so naturally I ran far away). I knew, though. Right from the moment I laid eyes on him and I say a little thank you every day that we crossed paths again when we did.
He’s in a manic state – let’s see what happens when he swings into depression. He’s abusing drugs again too.
Wow I canāt believe we got his actual psychiatrist in the comments! Thanks for joining!
+1 Runcmc
You see it, too? I can only imagine what his mom is thinking and feeling right now. I know he has some money, but not the kind of money necessary to maintain that kind of lifestyle. SNL fires him and heās going to be in a world of hurt.
He is NOT bipolar. He has said he has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Please read up before you talk about something you don’t fully understand.
Not only do I understand it, I lived with it for 20 years and have spent tens of thousands of dollars on therapy to learn how to live as a healthy, functioning adult after being raised by people with NPD, BPD, and Bipolar 1 disorder. Their illnesses, when not well managed, can have a significant negative impact on their loved ones and create a legacy of trauma.
I didnāt pass any judgment on him. I expressed concern for his mother because I am a parent and I know how challenging and painful it can be to see your child struggle and you canāt do anything about it. I also know what itās like to see a loved family member live with these challenges. I then expressed concern for his future economic well-being because I am someone that has lived through the financial struggles that can accompany someone struggling with NPD, BPD, Bipolar 1 disorder, and the attempts at self medicating.
TL;DR: I know this scene because it was my scene and Iām still cleaning up the mess left behind.
I read a BI that sounds like itās him, saying heās in a manic state and his family is worried because heās not taking his meds, and heās avoiding them.
His sister was at Disneyland with them so apparently some of his family thinks he’s fine. Also, since everyone is talking about how crazy he is, what about her? She said yes to him and moved across the county lol. This has less to do with mental health and more to do with being young (impulsivness is a trait of a lot of young people). They aren’t the first and will not be last young Hollywood couple (or regular young people, let’s be honest ) to rush into a relationship, or rebound quickly after ending a relationship or want to race to the alter. There are many people who date for years, get married and it doesn’t work out. They both seem happy, are able to support themselves and have full-time jobs. Will it end? Probably, but I don’t think it’s a reason to focus on someone’s mental health problems.
He cannot be in a manic state, he has Borderline Personality Disorder NOT Bipolar (at least as far as we know). BPD does not have manic episodes. Bipolar 1 is the one with depressive and manic episodes. I guess people confuse them because of their initials and maybe because he is a man? BPD is mostly diagnosed in women. No matter though both conditions can greatly interfere with person’s life if not treated accordingly.
He didn’t seem “manic,” on Fallon. Seemed well adjusted, did his self deprecating schtick, was chill and funny as hell.
Was the same on his SNL spots. He’s a good guy and a good person.
Pete isn’t bipolar; he has borderline personality disorder (BPD). Although they share some symptoms, they are very different disorders. Bipolar is a mood disorder; BPD is a personality disorder. Bipolar has manic or hypomanic phases, depressive phases, and “normal” phases that follow a cycle. Medication alone can usually even out this cycling, and therapy teaches healthy coping. BPD is more like constant emotional chaos; and while some medications may be able to ease some symptoms, only serious therapy can address the root cause. This is the case with all personality disorders – hence their classification (personality vs mood).
Untreated BPD notoriously makes people act according to their emotions, not necessarily to the reality of the situation. The disordered thinking interprets feelings as facts, and reacts as such. This leads to the impulsivity, baffling behavior (hot and cold), and general “extra”ness. Bipolar shows this in its manic phase but not as a normal course of being.
When your brain is convinced that your present emotions are always reflective of reality, you do things like “fall deeply in love” after less time than it takes a baby bird to leave the nest. Our feelings are absolutely valid, but it’s up to us to examine them and reality test them before acting on them.
The reality is that it’s not possible to form an authentic, deep, meaningful intimate relationship with another human being in such a short amount of time. That takes a lot of time and work. Just because it *feels* like destiny and soulmates and love at first sight doesn’t mean that it *is*.
Pete and Ariana deserve happiness: they deserve healthy relationships. This just…isn’t going to be one of those. They’re young though, and having fun for now, so hopefully it won’t be too bad when it (almost inevitably) ends.
Look, Arianna Grande can’t help being a petite woman with child-like features that make her look like a 12-year-old wearing her mother’s makeup.
But she doesn’t have to play it up by doing Lolita cosplay while walking down the street.
Thank you.
I feel creepy just looking at her
I get your point, but at the same time I think that if this is her chosen aesthetic, why should she have to change it to make us more comfortable?
+1. Although I do just think a different hairstyle wood look better. Not moralizing.
This. She’s nasty.
Also, does she remove all her fake hair to sleep at night? Asking for a friend
I canāt stand her child sex sex kitten look, ugh.
Agree. And the lollipop for added prop. Puleeze
I canāt look at him, I just see him as a goofy character.
I’m funny (in my native language) and not that pretty and I can pull very attractive men. Not necessarily for long thoughā¦ I think people underestimate the power of funny people as a turn-on.
I agree!!! Nothing is more attractive than someone who can make you laugh
I think itās all about self confidence. I know some beautiful women who arenāt attractive to men because they come off as needy and insecure. And I also know women who are less traditionally attractive but carry themselves with so much charisma and self confidence that men follow them like puppies. I totally understand how your sense of humor is attractive to men even if you donāt consider yourself āprettyā.
Same can be said for dudes.
I think Arianna needs to let go of the “Sexy baby” look (refer to 30 Rock for more context). Also, Pete revealed in a recent interview that he has had some money problems. Moving into a 16 million dollar complex with his fiance might allay some of those issues..
I doubt he contributed anything to it. Its very unlikely he has even 1 million $ to burn. I doubt he contributed less than 10% that would be weird. I guess Ariana bought this and they just moved in together.
@Pia
Well then let’s hope his depressive phase doesn’t crash and burn the gig. I personally find this whole thing repulsive and cringeworthy. This is not about love. These two don’t even know the meaning of it.
Armchair commentary and diagnoses are easy to give when you can hide anonymously and say harmful, unsubstantiated things but your words are triggering, unhelpful and wrong about mental illness.
I’m actually a psychiatrist and HATE armchair diagnosing, but that’s not what Natalia has done here, just stated her opinion on their relationship.
Arianaās style is atrocious, and we can almost see the dreaded left side of her face here. Theyāre probably going to break up as soon as he sees her face from the front view! She canāt hide that once theyāre married. He does seem like a funny and good guy though. Heāll move on quickly.
The bit with him fawning over Rob and āGood Timeā, going so far as to show a clip, was actually really funny.
Is he considered attractive to the yoofs? I know Ariana but I don’t know him.
Yes, my 19 year old daughter loves him! Heās very funny, I can see the attraction. I really donāt think theyāll actually get married, but theyāre both single and young, I say have fun.
Young and completely infatuated with each other. Theyāre a lovely reminder of how that feels.
Yea, lots of hate here, but I get your statement. When I was 23 I fell madly and hopelessly in love and we got married. It lasted 6 years and I consider it my āstarter marriage ā. He was a good guy, it didnāt work out and I donāt regret it because it was intense and real while it lasted.
IKR? Everybody is talking about his BPD and her PTSD as if people make rational decisions about love all the time. Davidson is not the first person to act OTT over a SO most people would consider out of their league. No wonder people don’t share their mental health issues. Your run-of-the-mill puppy love gets flooded by armchair psychiatrists.
For whatever reason, Iām on their side, lol. Iām a sucker for young love!
She has to be kidding. There must be some kind of game going on here.
I love her and I like him too. I think he’s REALLY cute and his shoe game is ON POINT. I know it’s all happening too quickly and it probably won’t last but I can’t help rooting for them for some strange reason. She’s been through hell and back, and it sounds like he has too, so until/unless they’re doing drugs with one another or something else overtly unhealthy, I can’t fault them for being young and stupid in love.
Is her hair permanently formed into a high ponytail now or is that like a ponytail wig she puts on every morning?
I understand Ariana badly damaged her hair when she was on Victorious because she had to keep dying her hair bright pink for her character. But that was awhile ago, surely new hair has grown in and is fine? I guess she’s just super self-conscious and won’t quit the long hair extensions/absurdly high ponytail. You can really see the extensions with her hair pulled to the side in that first picture.
I don’t think Pete is good-looking nor do I think he is that great on SNL in the little I’ve seen of him. I don’t really care about them as a couple because I think they are both young and dumb but I wish them the best I guess. I won’t be surprised if this has crashed and burned by the end of the summer.
True love forever! šš
Hard eyeroll. I can’t believe he talks like that (lit, etc). But, they are young and I am not lollll. Of course it won’t last, but what the heck.
I must be as high as Pete Davidson because I think heās adorable and hilarious.
What a disaster.
I’m excited for the wedding and even more excited for the divorce drama!
Okay, trying again.
FYI, Pete said Sebo not Debo. And Sebo is Sebastian McClard who is Emily Ratawowski’s new husband. He is the owner of Elara Studios, who produced Good Time. I don’t recall seeing Pete Davidson in Good Time even for 10 seconds but who knows I may have missed it.
Are we still pretending this guy is not an unfunny, unstable junkie?
OK here comes my .02 opinion.
I’m almost 57, I’ve seen him on SNL. I’ve heard of her mostly on the fashion sites and I do know she’s a singer.
How in holy heck can these 2 youngsters buy a $15 million New York apartment?
Sweet weeping doggies! I am a financial disaster compared to these 2.
IRL, I know 2 couples who married quickly after meeting. Both were in their early 20’s, both still married. Both women will comment when they see their wedding pics “Wow. We really were just babies when we got married. Look how young we were, etc.”
Of course, the Men comment “OMG! Look at all the hair I had.”
Thankfully the mullet hair with a set of mutton chop sideburns never fails to get hearty laughs all around.
My advice? Enjoy it while it lasts but, pre-Nups for everyone. š
Oh to be young, carefree with a $15M NY place. Sweet.
