Pete Davidson confirms Ariana Grande engagement on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon

Pete Davidson has confirmed he is engaged to Ariana Grande, joking: "I feel like I won a contest."

The comedian, actor and SNL host began dating Grande in May, with speculation earlier this month that they were planning a wedding. 

Appearing on The Tonight Show With Jimmy FallonDavidson confirmed the reports, with Fallon joking that he "didn't have to get engaged to Ariana Grande to come on our show".

"But I did though," Davidson responded. "I feel like I won a contest. So sick."

Asked how he was handling it, Davidson said it was "lit" and said one man had told him he had given him "hope" - "I didn't know I was that ugly," Davidson joked. 

Last week, Davidson shared a photo on Instagram which appeared to show Grande wearing an engagement ring, with the caption: "You know what you'd dream it'd be like? It's better than that." 

Grande and Davidson had been dating for just over a month, but have known each other since at least 2016, when Grande appeared as a guest host on SNL.
