Pete Davidson and Cazzie David 'on a break' when he started dating Ariana Grande
Pete Davidson and Cazzie David were "on a break" when he started dating Ariana Grande.
The 'Saturday Night Live' star and his former girlfriend were taking time out from their relationship "but not necessarily broken up for good" when he began pursuing a romance with Ariana last month and he quickly decided that Ariana, 24, was the one for him, TMZ reports.
Pete, 24, proposed to Ariana just weeks after they started dating and he has said that getting engaged to the 'No Tears Left To Cry' singer is better" than he dreamed it would be.
Posting a picture of their hands - including Ariana's engagement ring - on Instagram, he wrote: "u know what you'd dream it be like ? it's better than that (sic)"
Pete's close friend Nick Cannon recently revealed the star called him for advice prior to getting down on bended knee.
Nick said: "He called before he was going to do it, and I said, 'Salud!' "He was really excited, so I was like, 'I love it, man. Keep it going.' Love is in the air!"
The 37-year-old star will be able to offer Pete plenty of advice as he got married to ex-wife Mariah Carey - with whom he has seven-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan - after just over a month of dating in April 2008.
Nick said: "To see them together ... and I've been one of those dudes with one of those fantasy, fantastic relationships where you just go off and get married, so I was like, 'Do it.'
"I've congratulated Pete. I haven't spoken to Ariana, but I'm happy for them."
And the pair are said to be wildly happy.
An insider explained: "It's a recent engagement. They're just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time. They both started talking about it this past weekend. It's nothing they've been hiding."
