Los Angeles — "Saturday Night Live" cast
member Pete Davidson on Wednesday confirmed reports that he and
American pop star Ariana Grande are engaged after dating for
less than two months.
Davidson, 24, told talk show host Jimmy Fallon in an
appearance on "The Tonight Show" that the rumors 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 earlier this week and celebrity
media reported on Wednesday that the couple had moved into a
Manhattan apartment together.
Grande launched 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.
