In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, stars often find their private lives spilling into public conversation. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson, whose brief but high-profile romance captivated fans back in 2018, remain a frequent subject of curiosity. Their relationship, though short-lived, continues to generate headlines years later, especially as both have moved on to new partners.
Pete Davidson, the comedian known for his self-deprecating humor and quirky personality, has often spoken about the challenges of dating under the spotlight. Over the years, he has been romantically linked with numerous high-profile women, including Kim Kardashian, Madelyn Cline, and Emily Ratajkowski. Recently, despite announcing a short break from dating, he was seen going public with model Elsie Hewitt.
While Davidson is often admired for his comedic charm, Ariana Grande once revealed another reason people speculate about his appeal. A playful but controversial social media exchange reignited interest in their past relationship. During the release of her album Sweetener, Grande responded cheekily to a fan’s question about Pete, but the joke quickly took on a life of its own.
The interaction began when a fan tweeted, “how long is Pete?” Grande, either teasing or being playful, answered: “Like 10 inches? …. Oh f**k …. I mean … like a lil over a minute.” Though she swiftly deleted the response, the comment circulated widely, fueling both amusement and speculation among fans.
Pete Davidson, however, didn’t share the laughter. In a later Netflix interview, he admitted that he wasn’t comfortable with Grande’s public remarks about their relationship. “I don’t like that she talked all that stuff about me,” he confessed, indicating that the viral joke left him feeling exposed rather than amused.
The episode highlights the fine line celebrities walk between humor, privacy, and public perception. While Grande’s comment may have been intended as a lighthearted quip, its aftereffects proved more serious. Fans continue to buzz about the exchange, but for Davidson, it serves as a reminder that not every joke lands the same way for those involved.
