Ariana Grande is one of the world's biggest pop stars, Pete Davidson is a
star on Saturday Night Live and pretty much became a household name after dating her.
Now, we would love to say that their relationship had a graceful start with an amicable ending,
but this is Hollywood we are talking about and that hardly ever happens.
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson were pretty much the last two people anyone would think to put
together, but the comedian and the popstar somehow made it work… well at least for a few months.
Looking back, their relationship was probably just the ultimate rebound for both of them camouflaged
with a lot of lust. They pretty much gave the world and themselves relationship whiplash.
So what exactly happened? Why did Ariana feel the need to throw so much shade Pete’s way after
breaking up with him practically to make sure every girl after her is disappointed in him?
We are always here to give you the scoop, but before we start make sure you subscribe
to the Rumor Juice Channel and click the bell button to make sure you are the first
to know the latest celebrity scandals. Now, these two shocked the world when
they announced their relationship. Everyone thought it was a joke at first, considering
that they were a rather odd pair. But they made it clear they didn't care what anyone thought
while living happily inside their love bubble. The two met at a Saturday Night Live afterparty.
The show, which Pete Davidson is most known for, well that, and now the fact that Ariana Grande
dumped him. It was just weeks after the first meeting that they announced they were casually
dating. And just a month after that the two announced their engagement!!!! Yea that's right,
only about two months! Talk about going from zero to one hundred in a few seconds!
Many people close to the couple have hinted that their short-term love affair's
lighting speed was most likely Pete's doing. You see, Davidson is known to be an utterly
hopeless romantic, going full steam ahead in almost every one of his relationships.
"I love being in a relationship. It makes me really happy. Also, it's an escape from
life when you have, like, a partner. It's fun… It's nice to have a lady around."
Combining a girl who is desperate to be loved, and a guy like Pete is bound to create an intense
romance that moves a million miles a minute. Likely going from one extreme to the next.
Although their relationship wasn't permanent, the tattoos that they got together were.
Davidson inked Grande's signature bunny ear mask behind his ear and her initials on his finger.
They also got matching cloud tattoos on their fingers. Need we remind you that they had not even
been dating for at least six months at the time. Unfortunately for Ariana Grande, the singer was
not the only girl that inspired Davidson to get tattoos. It seems like this was something
he is known to do with girls he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. He
had several other tattoos celebrating ex's that, of course, Ariana demanded he gets covered up.
The jeweler that Pete bought Ariana's ring from mentioned how he purchased it in May. Need we
remind you that's the month the two met! Meaning that they must have just been a few days into
their relationship when he decided he would put a ring on it. Slow down, Pete Davidson, slow down!
What many people don't realize is how their relationship might have started
much earlier than what we all thought. It seems as though both Grande and Davidson
were dating their respective ex's Mac Miller and Cazzie David when the two first met.
Grande is known to overlap a few of her previous boyfriends. She was in a relationship with Jai
Brooks until he accused her of cheating on him with Nathan Sykes who she did end up dating a
short while after, until going back to Brooks, before he ended it for good.
She also dated Big Sean for a while, a relationship many thought to be a rebound.
However, they allegedly hooked up while he was still engaged to the late Naya Rivera.
Grande also dated Ricky Alvarez but ended things around the same time she started
dating Mac Miller. The boyfriend she had before Pete. Not bad for 27 years old!
Whether these relationships overlapped or not one thing is sure,
Ariana Grande is the relationship type! And the problem was,
so was Mr Pete Davidson. However, his need for love might go a bit deeper than hers.
Pete has been open about his struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder, which he
was diagnosed with after several breakdowns and a stint in rehab. He had to continuously clap
back at internet trolls when they questioned if he could or should even be in a relationship,
which made him feel somewhat insecure. Cue the drama with Grande.
"Yes, people with mental illnesses can still date, despite the stigmas and prejudices.
Just because someone has a mental illness does not mean they can't be happy and, in a relationship"
To make matters worse, Pete has been very open about the number of insecurities he has. Fans and
internet trolls certainly didn't make it easier for him, while he was dating Ariana, things got so
bad they completely drove him off social media. "I got a death threat. Someone wanted to shoot
me in the face. Because she's so hot. You know how insane that is"
Pete has been open about the physical differences between him and his then-fiancé, knowing that she
is way out of his league. In a segment on Saturday night live he joked about switching her birth
control pills with mints. Not exactly something you would do in a healthy relationship.
"I'm still convinced she's blind or hit her head really hard."
Then there was all the family drama that the two had to face,
which didn't make things any easier. Early into their engagement,
Grande reportedly didn't have any issues with Pete's love and enthusiasm for Marijuana.
However, Ariana's brother Frankie had a massive problem with this, which makes sense since he was
celebrating his one-year sobriety at the time. The siblings reportedly had many fights over
Frankie's disapproval of his sister's weed-loving beau and begged her to break things off. It wasn't
until Pete got arrested for possession that Grande realized that there might be a slight problem.
Frankie felt uncomfortable with anyone that hanged around Ariana who didn't encourage sobriety. And
at the time sobriety didn't seem to be anything that interested Pete. He was very candid about
not being open to getting in any shape or form. Especially not after having tried once before.
Then the ultimate test of their relationship came, which was the beginning of the end.
Ariana's ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, who she dated for two years, passed away from a
suspected drug overdose while she was engaged to Pete. Many have claimed that the intense
heartbreak Grande was going through after the unexpected death was the most significant cause
of their breakup. The passing led to her re-examining her relationship with Pete,
questioning whether or not it was what she needed right now — naturally causing a long-term fight
between the two hasty lovers. He knew after Miller's passing that it was just a matter of
time before it would be over for the two of them. And he wasn't wrong, Ariana couldn't take it for
much longer and called off her engagement. Her heartbreak was just too much to handle,
and she didn't feel as though Pete could give her the support that she needed.
Although Davidson seemed at peace with the breakup, he decided that he was done dating
for a while. Or at least done until he (quote) met the love of his life. Although given Pete's
dating history, it seems as though he meets the love of his life every few months.
"I love love, but I'm pretty done with that. I'm going to try and
stay away from that. It's just a lot" And who can blame him after the shade Ariana
pulled at the Grammy's? During a performance post their break up she took off an engagement
ring and put it in a box. Signalling how done, she was with the relationship.
To make matters worse for Pete, Ariana didn't have great things to say about a relationship
she seemed so heavily invested in, during an interview with Vogue.
"I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun
and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn't know him."
Davidson criticized this choice of hers by calling the theme of the interview extremely unfair. He
mentioned how he would never do stand-up about her but after her stint at the Grammys and her
Vogue interview he saw it as fair game. "She's the queen of shade. I get it. That's
her job… She has music to it, I get it. I hope people feel the same way about my jokes."
Ariana didn't stop there though, throughout their breakup, she made a few massive references to the
size of his... you know. Making many references to how well endowed he is. Davidson immediately
realized the intention behind Grande's comment, mentioning that she was not doing it to compliment
him; in fact, it was the total opposite. "She's a very smart person, okay? She did
that so that every girl that sees my d**k for the rest of my life is disappointed. It's genius."
Pete wasn't the only one who decided to stay single for a change. In the months following her
split from Davidson, Grande remained single as she focused on herself and her budding music career.
But that all changed in early 2020 when she began dating luxury real estate agent Dalton Gomez.
And after less than a year of dating the couple, of course, announced their engagement.
Although Pete had nothing but good things to say for his ex moving on,
we can't help but wonder if this will finally be the one for Ariana?
