Anyone following Ariana Grande’s past year of terror, tumult and heartbreak would be right to think that she and the seemingly affable Pete Davidson had too quickly plunged into a romance and engagement.
Grande, 25, took up with the 24-year-old “Saturday Night Live” comedian as she was still dealing with several major life aftershocks. That’s why news of their breakup over the weekend didn’t surprise people close to either of them.

At one point, Grande defended herself by addressing his struggles with drug addiction and the difficulties of staying in a “toxic” relationship.
Grande also was eager to show her fierce devotion to her new fiance Davidson. During an appearance on “The Tonight Show” in August, she told host Jimmy Fallon about how she had actually developed a crush on Davidson two years earlier, when she hosted and performed as a musical guest on “Saturday Night Live.”
But it’s worth asking: Wasn’t Grande dating Miller when she developed this so-called crush on Davidson?
