Pete Davidson Addresses His Ariana Grande Breakup With A Lot Of Jokes, Of Course

Just two months prior, Ariana Grande stood onstage at the 2018 VMAs, accepting the award for Best Pop, and shouted out her fiancé. "Pete Davidson, thanks for existing," she said. The zeitgeist of their relationship and subsequent engagement, which started in early June, had reached its peak. And then it was over.


Since the news that the pair had ended things a little bit over a week ago, Ari's taken herself off of social media for the time being — though maybe she's back now? Pete, meanwhile, has been off social media for months. Yet as his trademark hilarious contributions to SNL's Weekend Update routinely remind us, the dude tends to keep it real. So that's what he did over the weekend.


At a comedy show co-hosted with Judd Apatow, Pete addressed the elephant in the room with a joke, certainly. "Well, as you can tell, I don't aspire to be here. There is lots going on," he instructed them room, as E! Reports. "Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?"


Pete also apparently took time to address the, uh, "permanent" reminders of his and Ari's love that he got inked onto his body throughout their dizzying summer romance.


"So, of course you know I, we broke up or whichever, nevertheless once me and her first got engaged, we got tattoos," he mentioned. "And it seemed like in a magazine like, 'Was Pete Davidson silly And 93 percent of it mentioned yes. ... So my boy, he was like, 'Don't listen to that shit, man. They're literally fucking haters.' And I'm like, yeah, fuck that. I'm not dumb. And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, 'Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'"
