Celebrity relationships often make headlines, and Ariana Grande’s past romance with comedian Pete Davidson is no exception. The two dated in 2018, the same year Grande released her album Sweetener, before splitting after their whirlwind romance.

Davidson, known for his humor and openness, has since dated several stars, including Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and most recently model Elsie Hewitt. Despite his self-deprecating jokes, he admitted that life in the spotlight makes relationships difficult.

One playful comment from Grande fueled the public’s fascination. When a fan tweeted asking, “how long is Pete?” she replied: “Like 10 inches? …. Oh f**k … I mean … like a lil over a minute.” The joke quickly spread before Grande deleted it.

Fans laughed it off, but Davidson wasn’t pleased. In a Netflix interview, he said, “I don’t like that she talked all that stuff about me.” His response suggested the joke went too far.

Though years have passed, the moment still lingers as proof of how even a single quip can leave “long-lasting ripples” when it comes to celebrity relationships.
