Ariana Grande once explained that Pete Davidson makes jokes as a coping mechanism when it comes to more serious situations and that’s what happened this weekend.  During his comedy show appearance for Judd & Pete America at Largo at the Coronet in L.A., Pete cracked jokes about his personal life aka his split with Ariana.

 

 

According to multiple outlets, Pete opened his act with, “Well, as you could tell, I don’t want to be here.  There’s a lot going on.  Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate.”  This performance comes after news broke about his and Ariana’s breakup.  Pete even spoke about the tattoo situation saying, “I’ve been covering a bunch of tattoos, that’s fun.  I’m f—–g 0-for-2 in the tattoo department.  Year, I’m afraid to get my mom tattooed on me because she’d leave.”

 

 

During Pete’s interview with GQ Magazine, he dished on his brand new EXPENISVE New York apartment he (once shared) with Ariana Grande.  The apartment was purchased for $16 million and it’s 4,023 square-feet.  Pete told GQ, “She’s really sweet.  She’s like, ‘This is our house,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re very nice for saying that.  Thank you for letting me stay here.’  She’s like, ‘We’re getting married!’ And I’m like, ‘I know, thank you for letting me stay here.'”  So, is Pete suggesting that Ariana purchased their lavish, NY apartment?

 

 

A source told Entertainment Tonight, “Ariana made the final decision.  It was time to realize this wasn’t the right time for them and Pete is incredibly heartbroken.  Pete is still so in love with her.  He wanted his whole world to revolve around her but she was emotionally unavailable.  He realizes she was at her limit with pressure from everyone and everything around her.  There were days she just wanted to run away from the world just to get some peace and quiet and peace of mind.  Pete had to give her that space out of love.”

The source continues, “They have not stopped talking since they made the decision to split and in fact they plan on trying to stay close friends or maybe on day even more than that.  They are remaining positive and looking forward to a future together where they may be best friends and still haven’t ruled out the possibility of one day making their relationship work.”

Earlier this week, Ariana addressed the breakup on social media posting, “Time to say bye bye to the internet for just a little bit.  It’s hard not to bump news and stuff that I’m not tryna to see right now.  It’s very sad and we’re all trying very hard to keep going.  Love you.  And thank you for being here always.”  Since the passing of Mac Miller, Ariana has been doing her best by keeping out of the public eye.

Now that we know Ariana was the one who called it quits, besides having a broken heart, how is Pete doing?  According to a source, “Pete is doing fine.  He has a strong support system of family and friends around him that are keeping him laughing.”

And in case you were wondering – Ariana gave the $100,000 engagement ring back to Pete, Ariana is still living in their NY apartment and she kept Piggy Smallz!
