Since Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson went public with their relationship, the couple have set about being as flirtatious with one another as possible. While the relationship was only confirmed a matter of weeks ago, the young pair seem very much in love and are happy to let the world know about it.

The duo became official after rumours began to circulate that Grande had ditched her former rapper-beau Mac Miller in favour of the SNL star.

Upon hearing the news that their favourite couple had split - and that the rapper had been arrested for DUI in the aftermath of the breakup - many of Mac's fans criticised the singer for leaving the rapper, who they believed had penned an entire album about the Side To Side singer. One fan wrote:

"Mac Miller totalling [sic] his G wagon and getting a DUI after Ariana Grande dumped him for another dude after he poured his heart out on a ten song album to her called the divine feminine is just the most heartbreaking thing happening in Hollywood."

However, while Ariana Grande may give off an "innocent" image, it appears that doesn't suffer fools lightly. After seeing one too many tweets criticising her for leaving the troubled rapper - who has regularly struggled with addiction - Grande responded to the criticism, writing:

"How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn't the case (just Cinderella is ab me)."

Then, she explained how frustrating it was to have to look after someone other than herself. "I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.

"I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem. Let's please stop doing that.

"Of course I didn't share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well."

Despite the turmoil of her previous relationship, Ariana has been very open about her new-found happiness and the couple seem to be going from strength-to-strength. In fact, such is their admiration for one another, Pete felt the need to leave a very NSFW comment on Ariana's latest photo.

Ariana recently uploaded a teaser for her new song "The Light is Coming". And, within minutes of the upload, Ariana's new BF decided to pop up in comments with some words of encouragement. And what were those lovely, poetic, heartfelt words?

"Pete is coming."

Of course, Ariana fans went into meltdown at the comment.

So, it seems like the couple are getting more and more comfortable with their relationship being online. Who knows what they will do next?

The world of celebrity dating is a funny old place, isn't it? I mean, quite honestly, why do any of us care? Literally, what difference does it make that our favourite singer/actor/TV host has a love interest? Would you care if it's your colleague? Nope. Your neighbour? Nah. Even your sibling? Not really. So, in all honesty, why does it matter?

Sadly, I cant give you the answer to that question. But, what I can tell you is that the internet is losing its collective mind over the fact that Ariana Grande has a new boyfriend.

So, who is he? Why, he's Pete Davidson, of course! (No? Me neither).

And, after one too many tweets criticising her for leaving the troubled rapper, Grande responded to the above tweet, writing: "How absurd that you minimize female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which btw isn't the case (just Cinderella is ab me)."

But, while the world has unanimously rejoiced that Grande has a new man (I haven't stopped celebrating tbh), one person probably isn't too keen.

Pete's girlfriend, Cazzie David, has been a silent party throughout all the rumours. After spending some time on safari, Cazzie reappeared on her Instagram to write: "Been in Africa, what’d I miss ??"

[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BjftkKvA7ZE/?utm_source=ig_embed]]

The sarcastic caption was undoubtedly a hint about the absolute s**tstorm that has surrounded Cazzie's personal life over the past few months and was the perfect clap-back about the rumours surrounding the 24-year-old.

But, Cazzie, if you are genuinely wondering what you have missed, I'd be more than happy to tell you. Essentially, two people - one of whom is your ex - have entered a relationship. That is it. That is all. There is nothing more to it. But somehow it's a story.

Sometimes when couples flirt in public, it's totally cute. And sometimes, they're so annoying, you just want to zap them both with a taser. Now, you might be thinking, "Aren't you just saying that because you're sad and alone?" No. I am not alone. I have seven cats. If anything, I'm too popular.

Comedian Pete Davidson and pop singer Ariana Grande are the hottest Hollywood couple since Charlie Sheen and cocaine. While photos of the two together are rare, they constantly comment on each other's Instagram posts. Pete commented, "Love this caption. Caption Queen." Ariana replied, "King of loving my captions." Under a photo of them both in Harry Potter robes, Pete commented, "the chamber of secrets is opened." Ariana replied, "u tryna slytherin (i'm deleting my account now)." It's only a matter of time before they get it on live on Instagram TV.

After less than a month of dating, Pete and Ariana are officially engaged. That's right, the young generation moves fast. Clearly, these two are still in the "lovey dovey" phase of their relationship. Once they get married, they'll enter the next phase, "years of lingering resentment and fights over the definition of 'clean.'" It's an exciting journey. But at the moment, it's a springtime love, when songbirds chirp and they're still not comfortable farting in front of each other.

On Instagram, Pete shared a sensual photo of Ariana wearing a white bikini. In the caption, he wrote, "what the actual f--k," followed by the heart-eyes emoji. And he's right to swoon, because holy crap, she looks stunning. In the comments, Ariana wrote, "I love you so much." Pete replied, "love u more tho."

But all the exhausting public displays of affection must have been too much for Seth Rogen. Exhausted by all this gooey gushy flirting, he commented, "Guys seriously." Hilarious - and this remark probably reflects what's on a lot of people's minds.

Pete Davidson jokingly fired back at Seth, "when ur getting married to the hottest you tell me how you'd act." Well, the man's got a point.

Last night Pete Davidson appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, and confirmed his engagement. During the interview, he admitted he was pretty lucky to be Ariana's fiancé.

"I feel like I won a contest. It’s so sick. It’s f–king lit, Jimmy. It’s so lit. It’s so funny when you’re walking down the street, dudes are walking by and... [tips hat]. Some guy came up to me and said, ‘yo man, you like gave me hope.’ I didn’t know I was that ugly."

Well, if we were in Pete's shoes, we'd probably act the same way. But we're not, so hopefully Seth Rogen will post more irritated comments. Their world may be "f--king lit," but our world is "f---king dark" and all that light is hurting our eyes.

The Internet's been obsessed with Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande. The lanky SNL comic and petite pop singer started dating last May. In June, they got engaged. That's right - they move fast! The couple constantly flirts on social media, posting the thirstiest comments and the dirtiest Harry Potter references. They even got tattoos to honor each other, so you know it's a serious relationship.

We've been swept up with Pete and Ariana's #couplesgoals, but what about Mac Miller? The rapper met Ariana on social media, asking if they could collaborate on a song. After recording a couple tracks together, sparks flew, and not just from Mac Miller's blunt. The paparazzi snapped photos of them kissing, prompting them to go public with their relationship. After the tragic attack at Ariana's concert in Manchester, in which a suicide bomber killed 22 people, Mac provided emotional support.

The pair dated for two years, and officially split up in May. Soon after, reports broke about Ariana dating Pete, and Mac smashed his G-Wagon into a utility pole. When police officers arrived at his house, he confessed to driving drunk and fleeing the scene. On Twitter, someone said that Ariana dumping Mac for another dude was "the most heartbreaking thing in Hollywood." In an impassioned post, Ariana wrote back, opening up about their 'toxic relationship.

"I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man’s inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem. Let’s please stop doing that. Of course I didn’t share about how hard or scary it was while it was happening, but it was. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well."

On Instagram stories, Ariana wrote that she was grateful for her time with Mac, and wishes him the best.

"Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet Malcolm McCormick [Mac Miller's real name]. I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!"

Now Mac is about to his release his fifth studio album, Swimming, which features the single Self-Care. (Appropriate title.) During an interview on Beats 1 on Apple Music, he commented on his ex-girlfriend's engagement for the first time. But there's no drama  - he's "happy for her."

"I was in love with somebody. We were together for two years. We worked through good times, bad times, stress and everything else. And then it came to an end and we both moved on. And it’s that simple ... It’s all positive energy. I am happy for her and [the fact that she’s] moving forward with her life, just as I’m sure she is with me."

Well, that's a pretty sweet message. Good to see Mac's in a better place.

In what has now become an iconic video on the internet, Pete Davidson decided to hit back at Ariana Grande after she referred to their short-lived engagement as just a mere "distraction." Ouch.

During an intimate interview with Vogue back in 2019, the 29-year-old singer opened up about her relationship with the Saturday Night Live star.

While most of her comments were generally positive - which seems to be a running theme with all of his past lovers - there was one that caught everyone's attention, including the comedian's.

After discussing her unhealthy habits back in Los Angeles, Grande's friends managed to convince her to relocate to New York for a while to help get over her breakup with Mac Miller.

And that's when she met Davidson and embarked on a six-month whirlwind romance that saw the two get engaged.

"My friends were like, ‘Come! We’re gonna have a fun summer.’ And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction," she said. "It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn’t know him. I’m like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist.

"I still don’t trust myself with the life stuff," she added.

I mean, that's a little bit dismissive for a man you got engaged to, right?

Well, it seems as though he thought so too, addressing the remarks during his Netflix special, Pete Davidson: Alive From New York.

"I wasn't gonna do jokes about this," he started, "but then my buddy told me, he's like, 'Yo, I've recently heard that Ariana said she had no idea who you were. And she just dated you as a distraction.'

"So now I just think it's like fair game and you're like, 'Pete, this isn't fair. You're like... you're airing out dirty laundry. How could you do that? Why did she say this stuff, to her friends, in the competence of her own home?' the 29-year-old continued.

"No, she said it on the cover of Vogue magazine. Can you imagine if I did that? My career will be over tomorrow."

He then goes on to savagely joke about Grande saying: "If I spray painted myself brown and hopped on the cover of Vogue magazine, and just started sh****** on my ex."

Well, he's probably not far off, to be honest.

"But you imagine if I did that s*** - if I was just like, 'yeah, just f****** her because I was bored, and then Fortnite came out.' That would be insane."

"Again, these are jokes," he humorously clarified. "I don't want any smoke. Okay, my biggest fear is I'm gonna get a shot in the back of the head by like a nine-year-old with a ponytail."

Of course, fans were loving Davidson's vigor with many commending the funnyman for his jokes about his ex.

"Pete Davidson talking about Ariana Grande and saying “What am I gonna do, spray paint myself brown and hop on the cover of Vogue magazine” DEAD," wrote one user while another added: "Pete Davidson’s jokes about Ariana Grande on his Netflix show have me howling I can’t."

Even though Davidson's stint with Grande was short, clearly it was impactful, with the 'One Last Time' singer praising him as well as his manhood in a now-deleted tweet. Yeah, that quickly became the talk of the town.

Soon after, the comedian went on to date reality star-turned-businesswoman, Kim Kardashian and has now started a new romance with model and podcast host, Emily Ratajkowski.

What a legend.
