They’ve both just been through breakups, but it seems Ariana Grande and SNL comedian Pete Davidson have found solace in each other’s company, after several outlets claimed the pair are now dating.

Pete Davidson, who is one of the youngest ever cast members to join SNL, was in a relationship with Larry David’s daughter Cazzie David for two years, but told Complex’s Open Late with Peter Rosenberg on May 17 that they weren’t ‘together anymore’.

‘Very talented girl, she’ll be great and she’ll be fine,’ he said. ‘Yeah, I think she’ll be okay.’

Ariana meanwhile shocked fans when she announced that she split from boyfriend Mac Miller, citing busy schedules as the reason.

It’s reported that the No Tears Left to Cry singer broke up with the rapper just after the Coachella weekend in April.

Now E! News and People are both reporting that Davidson and Ariana are ‘casually dating’.

‘Ariana was holding Mac together for a long time and it wasn't a good relationship for her,’ a source told E! News.

People report that Davidson was present backstage at the Billboard Music Awards and ‘had his arm’ around Ariana. An onlooker told the outlet that they seemed ‘very lovey-dovey’.

Here is all you need to know about Pete Davidson including his net worth, ex-girlfriend Cazzie David, new teeth, and roles on SNL.

Who is Pete Davidson?

Pete Davidson was born on November 16, 1993 in Staten Island, New York. His father was a New York firefighter who died in 9/11, last seen running into the Marriott World Trade Center. 

Davidson was seven at the time and the loss affected him profoundly. His mother, Amy, told the New York Times in 2015: ‘It’s sad how sad he was growing up.’

One time, Davidson ended up ripping out all of his hair until he was bald. Amy noted that comedy, which Davidson started doing at the age of 16, was what made him ‘really, really happy’.

Davidson’s rise through the comedy circuit has been stratospheric. Opening sets on Nick Cannon’s tour, appearances on Guy Code, spots on Gotham Comedy Live and Wild ‘N’ Out were followed by standup sets on Adam Devine’s House Party and Jimmy Kimmel Live! And a guest-star role on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

In 2014, at the age of 20, Davidson joined the cast of Saturday Night Live as one of the show’s youngest members, and the first one to be born in the 1990s.

He quickly rose to prominence for his ‘resident young person’ bits on the Weekend Update segment.

The following year, in March, Davidson made the news for his controversial set at the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber. Just four out of his 11 minutes were broadcast.

Davidson suffers from Crohn’s Disease and credits marijuana with helping him deal with the condition, saying it was the only thing that would help him eat.

The comedian began dating Larry David’s daughter Cazzie in 2016. The couple walked the red carpet at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards in August of that year.

In May 2018, it was reported that the couple had split up.

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande have known each other since 2016, when the Sweetener singer hosted SNL. They shared a bit together during Ariana’s opening monologue.

After they confirmed their respective breakups, reports began to emerge suggesting Davidson and Ariana were seeing each other. The pair were spotted together backstage at the Billboard Music Awards.

‘They seemed very lovey-dovey. He was hanging out with her and her friends with his arm around her. She seemed quite smitten,’ an onlooker told People.

What is Pete Davidson’s net worth?

Pete Davidson’s net worth is estimated to be $500,000 according to Celebrity Net Worth. In 2016, Davidson was named on Forbes’s 30 Under 30 List.

Did Pete Davidson get new teeth?

At the end of April, Davidson went sneak shopping with Complex’s Joe La Puma and revealed that he hasn’t been spending any money on shoes because he just bought ‘new teeth’.

In the video, he said that the teeth he has on are ‘temporaries’.

‘I’m aware that they might look a little fake but that’s because the realer [sic] ones are coming tomorrow.’

Joe La Puma then asks Davidson whether new teeth are more important that Jordan 3 sneakers.

‘So Jordan 3, new teeth—you pick new teeth always?’ to which Davidson replies: ‘Yeah, I needed the new teeth,’ before going on to say he was unhappy with how his old teeth and gums looked.

He ended the conversation by saying: ‘I just want to let you guys know, I know.’
