How sad to see a whirlwind romance start and end so soon!
2018’s youth culture/fashion/hair dye power couple Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson reportedly broke up over the weekend, according to People. The “No Tears Left to Cry” singer and Saturday Night Live star began dating in May of this year and quickly got engaged.
Many fans were stunned at the speed of Ariana and Pete’s relationship, and sources say that was exactly the reason for the breakup. “It was way too much too soon,” a source close to Ariana told People. “It’s not shocking to anyone.”
The couple met when Ariana served as the musical guest on SNL and quickly developed a crush on Pete. They got together this year, after Pete’s breakup with longtime girlfriend Cazzie David and Ariana’s with late rapper Mac Miller, who passed away on September 7.
Ariana and Pete remain close and amicable in the face of the mutual split. Hours before news of their broken engagement came to light, Ariana attended the taping of last weekend’s SNL to support Pete. Keen eyes have also noticed that Ariana has not deleted pictures of the couple from her social media, but Pete has deactivated his social media accounts.
These past few weeks have been publicly rough for Ariana, and fans have been voicing their support online.
However, Ariana seems to be in good spirits, recording new music and recovering on her own time.

My condolences to the couple, but this really did all happen SO fast. I feel like we’re definitely going to look back on 2018 as some fever dream that we collectively shared somehow.
