Singer, ‘SNL’ star reportedly have split
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And so ends the whirlwind romance of Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson.
The pop star and “Saturday Night Live” actor reportedly ended their relationship and engagement over the weekend, according to TMZ, after five months of highly publicized bliss.
Davidson, 24, and Grande, 25, began dating in May, before quickly becoming engaged the following month.
They put on quite a show: The pair got matching tattoos, practiced continuous oversharing and acquired a tiny pig over the course of the five-month relationship.
As for why the couple broke up, several rumors abound. People magazine reported that it was just a case of “too much too soon” for the pair, while TMZ cited the unexpected death last month of Grande’s ex-boyfriend Mac Miller as a tipping point.
Grande has shied away from the public eye in the weeks since Miller’s death from a suspected overdose.
Grande also continues to struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety after the Manchester, England, terrorist attack outside of her concert in May 2017.
