Ariana Grande Defends Her Whirlwind Romance with Pete Davidson and Honestly, She Makes a Lot of Sense
Ah, young love! Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's relationship may be younger than that pile of clothes sitting on my desk chair, but she's not letting the haters get to her. The pop star — who got engaged to her boyfriend of a few weeks earlier this month — took to Twitter to set the record straight on their whirlwind romance, and TBH, she makes some valid points. Watch the video above to find out what she had to say!
The 24-year-old has been sporting her massive rock all over town, including at the 2018 iHeartRadio Wango Tango on June 2 — and no one even noticed! The "Dangerous Woman" songstress snapped several selfies with fans and flaunted her reported $100,000 sparkler. "It's a recent engagement," a source close to the couple told People. "They're just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time. They both started talking about it this past weekend. It's nothing they've been hiding."
On May 30, Pete, also 24, took to social media to share a picture of himself with Ari and captioned the snap, "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened." Ariana then commented, "U tryna slytherin (I'm deleting my account now)" — basically confirming their relationship. Since then, the couple has gotten matching tattoos and shared PDA-filled pics on the 'Gram.
The exciting news comes just over a year after a terrorist attack killed 22 people following her concert in Manchester, England. In an interview with British Vogue, she revealed she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder after the bombing. "I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well," she said.
The singer also ended her long-term relationship with rapper Mac Miller — who was charged with a DUI and hit-and-run just days after their split. When haters came out in full force following their breakup in May, she opened up about their unhealthy dynamic. "I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety and prayed for his balance for years (and I always will of course), but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his shit together is a very major problem," she wrote on social media. "Let's please stop doing that." We're so happy Ari's finally found some well-deserved happiness.
