Saw today on twitter that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are reportedly engaged after a few weeks of dating, at least publicly. As a fan of both people, I'm happy for them and trust them to make whatever decisions they feel are right for them, but I know this has been a subject of much debate on the interwebs recently. Anyone else have any thoughts?

God, the almighty and all-knowing, has misplaced a cup?

I don't know either of them or the inner workings of their relationships so it's hard to have any thoughts that are valid :)

I was happy he wasn't dead when he was trending, but that's about it.

Not my life, not my business.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I am not really a pop culture person - but I do like both of these very talented people. Seems early for engagement, but good for them.

How long has he been sober?

She has a new cd coming out next month.  The cynic in me, says it's to get her name in the news.  I like her new song and will buy the new cd.  If she wants to get engaged to someone after dating them for a few weeks, that probably explains why Frankie is as dopey as he is.

I generally answer questions like this with another question - why do so many people care so much about the personal lives of people who they don't know?

I don't know them personally, but I do know that it takes about 2 years of dating before you really know if your personalities match in a relationship. Not after 1 month.

I think Pete is a turd but if Grande has any wits about her at all she'll make him sign an iron clad prenup if they actually go through with this.

Maybe they should speak to Katy Perry first.

People are crazy. It doesn't matter their income. They're still crazy. If they want to, then go for it. I don't care. I'm gay, ha. If straight people want to **** up marriage, that's on them. But Ariana Grande is a cute, I'm surprised she went with Pete. But good for him.

Um, it’s not like he’s a drug addict or an alcoholic. He smokes pot...... He has Crohn’s disease and Marijuana is one of the best medications for that. (My sister, also has Crohn’s and Marijuana and CBD is one of the only things that keeps her in remission). And let’s face it Ariana probably smokes with him. 

 

Unless I’m mistaken and he indeed did have an addiction, I apologize, but when he had mentioned he had been “sober” it was taken out of context and he meant he was sober from smoking pot because he thought his issues were from that, but turns out he was diagnosed bipolar. He talked about it on a podcast I listen to, WTF with Marc Maron.

The wording of this article makes it sound like he did have an addiction:

"Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson revealed on Monday that he hasn’t been appearing much on the show lately or on social media because he’s been sobering up.

In an Instagram posted to his account, the 23-year-old comedian talked about his decision to quit drugs after using them for eight years in the caption of the photo, while thanking his fans and followers for their love and support.

“I quit drugs and am happy and sober for the first time in 8 years,” he wrote. “It wasn’t easy, but I got a great girl, great friends and I consider myself a lucky man.”

^ Right... that’s the original IG post that everyone took out of context. This Rolling Stone article talks about it (and the Marc Maron interview) in detail.

 

https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/snls-pete-davidson-i-have-borderline-personality-disorder-w505489

 

“ “ Just wanted to let you guys know I'm okay," he wrote in a post to Instagram at the time. (His account has since been deleted.) "I know I've kinda been missing, on social media and on the show. I quit drugs and am happy and sober for the first time in 8 years."

By "drugs," Davidson clarified during the podcast Monday, he meant pot. "I should've just said, 'I’m quitting weed,' because now people think I do drugs," he said. "I'm very embarrassed at this point." “

I see, thanks for clarifying.

I like Pete, don't know so much about Ariana, but I wish them both all the best - even reformed drug additcts deserve happiness, so I'm don't know why you guys give it any bearing on their relationship status!

Why do I think that the relationship has a slim chance of surviving?

She had her birthday at my work the other night and they were both in the corner making out all night. So... I guess that's something? They were doing karaoke and she sounded amazing. They were both very chill.

Grande and Davidson called it quits on their engagement.  I could have said splitsville, but not sure if the relationship is over.  Alas the engagement is as these posters predicted.
