Kevin Mazur/WireImage Just two months ago, Ariana Grande stood onstage at the 2018 VMAs, accepting the award for Best Pop, and shouted out her fiancé. "Pete Davidson, thanks for existing," she said. The zeitgeist of their relationship and subsequent engagement, which began in early June, had reached its peak. And then it was over. Since the news that the pair had ended things a little over a week ago, Ari's taken herself off of social media for the time being — though maybe she's back now? Pete, meanwhile, has been off social media for months. But as his trademark hilarious contributions to SNL's Weekend Update consistently remind us, the dude tends to keep it real. So that's what he did over the weekend. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic At a comedy show co-hosted with Judd Apatow, Pete addressed the elephant in the room with a joke, naturally. "Well, as you could tell, I don't want to be here. There's a lot going on," he told the room, as E! reports. "Does anybody have any open rooms? Looking for a roommate?" Pete also apparently took time to address the, uh, "permanent" reminders of his and Ari's love that he got inked onto his body during their dizzying summer romance. "So, obviously you know I, we broke up or whatever, but when me and her first got engaged, we got tattoos," he said. "And it was like in a magazine like, 'Was Pete Davidson stupid?' And 93 percent of it said yes. ... So my boy, he was like, 'Don't listen to that shit, man. They're literally fucking haters.' And I'm like, yeah, fuck that. I'm not stupid. And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, 'Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'" No word on the status of the Piggy Smallz tattoo, but believe that we're all holding our collective breath to find out. Relive the highs and lows of Pete and Ari's relationship in the MTV News video below.<doc-sep>Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson talked about his recent breakup with pop star Ariana Grande during a standup set at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles on Saturday, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The occasion was “Judd & Pete for America,” a benefit show for SwingLeft.org featuring Davidson and director Judd Apatow. Davidson cancelled a scheduled appearance at Temple University on Wednesday, citing personal reasons, but made the trip west for the pre-election fundraiser. Davidson’s place in the lineup was less than ideal: He went onstage to do standup right after Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers played a set that ended with “American Girl,” so the comedian opened by (quite correctly) complaining that no one should have to follow a performance of “American Girl” before joking about recent developments in his personal life:* Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Who the fuck wants to follow that? Am I not going through enough that I have to fucking follow that? … Well, as you can tell, I don’t want to be here. There’s a lot going on. Anybody have any open rooms? Anybody looking for a roommate? Davidson, who is now a walking reminder that couples tattoos are a bad idea—he got at least six Ariana-Grande-themed tattoos over the course of their whirlwind romance, while Grande may have gotten as many as seven of her own—mentioned the ink-related fallout, while alluding to the fact that he had to cover up a tattoo of his previous ex, Cazzie David, before proposing to Grande: I’ve been covering a bunch of tattoos, that’s fun. I’m fucking 0-for-2 in the tattoo department. Yeah, I’m afraid to get my mom tattooed on me because she’d leave. Besides Apatow and Tench, the non-Davidson part of the night’s lineup included Tig Notaro, Pete Holmes, and Darren Criss. On Oct. 27, Largo will present “Judd & Beck for America,” a similar event, this time organized by Norman Lear’s People for the American Way. Neither Judd Apatow nor Beck have broken up with Ariana Grande or Pete Davidson, but there’s still plenty of time.<doc-sep>View this post on Instagram #PeteDavidson coming right at you, reminding you to get out and VOTE #swingleft #takebackthehouse 📷: @sweatsoulandsugar<doc-sep>

During his comedy set in Los Angeles at Judd and Pete for America, a benefit show for Swing Left, Pete acknowledged that getting multiple tattoos with his ex-fianceé was probably not his best move. “I was like … ‘I’m not stupid,’ ” Pete reportedly said, according to Us Weekly. “And tonight [my friend and I] were in my kitchen and he was like, ‘Yo, bro. Turns out, you were stupid.’ ” He also addressed the fact that he will no longer be living in Ariana Grande’s extremely nice apartment. He acknowledged the GoFundMe account someone made for him called Pete Davidson Homeless, and said he was looking for a new living situation. “Anybody have any open rooms?” Pete asked. “I’m looking for a roommate.” A few days after news of their breakup spread, Pete was spotted looking “fine,” though he did cancel a comedy set at a university for “personal reasons” that same week. He told the audience at the benefit show that “I think you could tell I didn’t want to be here … There’s a lot going on.” But participants said that he was in a generally good mood at the show and even laughed at some of his own jokes. And apparently, he’s never been sad enough not to masturbate. “You ever have the feeling, you’re so sad you can’t [masturbate? ],” he said. “That hasn’t happened to me.” If he really is looking for a new roommate, reselling that engagement ring could definitely help him with the first few months of rent.
