Pete Davidson confirms engaged to Ariana Grande

Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson last week confirmed reports that he and American pop star Ariana Grande are engaged after having dated for less than two months.

Davidson, 24, told talk-show host Jimmy Fallon in an appearance on The Tonight Show that the rumours of the past week were correct.

“I did,” Davidson said, when asked by Fallon whether he had got engaged. “I feel like I’ve won a contest,” he added about his romance with Grande.

Grande, 24, and Davidson went public about dating in late May through their social-media accounts a few weeks after ending their previous relationships. Celebrity media reported last week that they were engaged.

The Dangerous Woman singer was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger early last week and celebrity media reported that the couple had moved into a Manhattan apartment together.

Grande l aunched her career on the Nickelodeon TV show Victorious in 2009 and released her first studio album in 2013. She has gone on to become one of the most popular young artists in the United States, winning three American Music Awards.

In June 2017, she won plaudits for returning to the English city of Manchester for a benefit concert for the victims of an Islamic State suicide bombing that killed 22 people moments after Grande had finished a concert.

Davidson started his career as a stand-up comedian and joined popular satirical sketch show Saturday Night Live in 2014.
