Comedian Pete Davidson has confirmed he is engaged to Ariana Grande, adding: “I feel like I won a contest.”
The couple started dating in May and there was speculation earlier this month they were planning to get married.
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Pete – best known for his role on US comedy show SNL – confirmed they were engaged, adding: “It’s lit.”
He said one fan even came up to him and said: “You gave me hope”.
It’s the first time either of the pair have spoken publicly about their engagement – although Ariana appeared to confirm the news earlier this month when replying to fans on social media.
On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon jokingly told Pete that he “didn’t have to get engaged to Ariana Grande to come on our show”.
Pete, who performs on sketch show Saturday Night Live, replied: “But I did though. I feel like I won a contest. So sick.”
When asked how he was handling it all, the comedian said it was “lit” and joked that men were walking past him and tipping their hat as a sign of respect.
“Some dude came up to me and was like: ‘Yo man, you gave me hope’. I didn’t know I was that ugly.”
On Saturday, Pete shared a photo on Instagram which appeared to show Ariana wearing an engagement ring.
It included the caption: “You know what you’d dream it be like? It’s better than that.”
