Pete Davidson Says He Cried With His Mom After Splitting With Ariana Grande
During a standup performance in Boston on New Year's Eve, Pete Davidson revealed that he cried with his mother after splitting up with Ariana Grande.
This story comes from Us Weekly, which reports that the SNL comedian made several jokes about his short-lived relationship with Grande during his set. “It made me see how ugly people can get, and how cool people can be,” Davidson said, according to the publication.
Davidson and Grande started dating publicly in summer 2018 and quickly got engaged. Things took a turn, though, in October when the couple revealed they were breaking up. One month after this, Grande released her smash-hit single "Thank U, Next," which name-checks several of her ex-boyfriends, including Davidson. He mentioned the song during his NYE standup set, joking that Grande was a "diabolical genius" for literally naming the men in her song.
"Thank U, Next" infamously debuted on Saturday, November 3, just 30 minutes before Davidson had to perform on SNL. Davidson told his friends at the time, “We all have to listen to this song and you all have to look at me. It’s gonna be rough."
In early December, Davidson opened up about the bullying he's experienced both online and off over his relationship with Grande.
“I’ve kept my mouth shut. Never mentioned any names, never said a word about anyone or anything. I'm trying to understand how when something happens to a guy the whole world just trashes him without any facts or frame of reference," he posted to Instagram. "Especially in today's climate where everyone loves to be offended and upset, it truly is mind boggling."
