It’s true, Pete Davidson says: He and Ariana Grande are engaged.
The Saturday Night Live cast member confirmed their rumoured engagement to Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show.
Fallon put Davidson on the spot Wednesday, telling him he didn’t have to get engaged to Grande to come on the talk show.

“But I did, though,” Davidson replied.
Fallon congratulated the comedian and shook his hand. “You know we love her so much and we love you too,” Fallon said.
“Thank you, I feel like I won a contest, it’s so sick. It’s f**king lit Jimmy,” Davidson said.
When asked how he was handling “it all,” most likely referring to the press fascination over the engagement, he added, “It’s so funny when you’re walking down the street, and dudes, they’re like …” he said, tipping his hat.
He compared the experience to a famous Gatorade ad. “You ever see that Derek Jeter commercial and he’s retiring and everyone just tips their hat?” he asked.
“Some dude came up to me and he was like, ‘Yo man, you like, gave me hope.’ I was like, ‘I didn’t know I was that ugly,'” Davidson shared.

Fallon told Davidson that his set for the Tonight Show could be a good place to get married.
“That’s not happening. … Sure, we could do that. But why do people care? It’s very weird. It’s weird because the president is trying to pardon himself, and he’s like f**king a porn star, shouldn’t we care about that?” Davidson said.
“No, we want to know what you’re wearing,” Fallon said while laughing.
