Pete Davidson Breaks Silence on Ariana Grande Breakup Onstage at Comedy Show

A source close to Davidson told E! News last week he's staying with family and was doing fine after the split


Pete Davidson has broken his silence about his split from Ariana Grande, and he's even able to joke about it.


"Well, as you could tell, I don't want to be here. There's a lot going on," Davidson told the crowd. "Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?"

During their relationship, Grande had acquired a $16 million apartment in New York City for her and Davidson. A source close to Davidson told E! News last week he's "staying with family" and was "doing fine" after the split, adding, "He has a strong support system of family and friends around him that are keeping him laughing."

"Um, I've been covering a bunch of tattoos, that's fun," Davidson told the crowd. "I'm f--king 0 for 2 in the tattoo [department]. Yeah, I'm afraid to get my mom tattooed on me, that's how bad it is."

Davidson and Grande had gotten many matching and other tribute tattoos during the time they were together. Grande recently made her first post-split appearance, at a taping of NBC's A Very Wicked Halloween, and was seen wearing a Band-Aid over one of her tats.

"So, obviously you know I, we [Ariana and I] broke up or whatever but when me and her first got engaged we got tattoos," he later continued. "And it was like in a magazine like, 'Was Pete Davidson stupid?' And 93% of it said yes," Davidson told the audience. "So my boy, he was like, 'Don't listen to that s--t man. They're literally f--king haters.' And I'm like, yeah, f--k that. I'm not stupid. And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, 'Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'"


"Well, you put me on the flyer, I had to," Davidson said, joking, "F--k my feelings."

"I care more about America than your feelings, I do," Apatow joked. "I care more about America than Pete's feelings."

"I feel like I am America," Davidson said. "I'm a good guy that just keeps getting kicked in the d---. You're like, 'Ah, that f--king poor kid. Hope he doesn't kill himself.' That's America."

Grande had broken her silence on her and Davidson's split last week, writing in a since-deleted Instagram post, "Time to say bye bye to the internet for just a lil bit. it's hard not to bump news n stuff that i'm not tryna to see rn. It's very sad and we're all tryin very hard to keep goin. love u. and thank u for bein here always."

Grande had already mostly avoided social media since her ex Mac Miller was found dead from an apparent overdose in September. Another source told E! News recently that his death "truly devastated" the singer.
