He continues, “The day I met her, I was like, ‘Hey, I’ll marry you tomorrow,’ ” Davidson recalled. “She was calling my bluff. I sent her a picture [of engagement rings]. I was like, ‘Do you like any of these?’ She was like, ‘Those are my favorite ones,’ and I was like, ‘Sick.’ “
Grande also spoke about how happy she was with Pete. In a song titled “Pete Davidson” from her recent album she sings, “Universe must have my back, fell from the sky into my lap/And I know you know that you’re my soulmate and all that.”
