On May 9, 2018, news broke that Mac Miller and Ariana Grande, the couple responsible for the bop “The Way,” had broken up. Although it meant the death of a longtime relationship, it couldn’t have prepared us for the absolute roller coaster that was coming next. If you were also ill-prepared for the news that, a month later, Ariana Grande is engaged, here’s the brief timeline of what has happened since.
May 12: Ariana Grande attends the Saturday Night Live after-party and is later photographed with a cell-phone case that looks just like one SNL player Pete Davidson has. Get used to seeing that cloud shape.
May 14: Grande posts an Instagram photo using a little cloud emoji. Arianators, her fans, are immediately on high alert because the singer used to constantly post clouds in 2014.
May 16: Pete Davidson spills on Complex’s Open Late Show that he and his longtime girlfriend Cazzie David (comedian and daughter of Larry David) have split. They’re apparently on good terms; just 13 days before, she posted a photo calling him her BFF.
May 17: The comedian posts a photo of his left hand covering his face. Now featured on his middle finger is a familiar little cloud outline. But this is the guy who has Hilary Clinton and a dire wolf from Game of Thrones tattooed on his body. The cloud could mean anything, right? No.

May 18: Bossip catches on and reports that Pete and Ariana are seeing each other. The SNL and Ariana Grande fandoms collide. It’s at this point that Pete and Ariana start liking more and more of each other’s photos on Instagram.
May 20: The Billboard Music Awards happen. Pete is caught on video by a fan hanging out around Ariana and her team (including big brother Frankie Grande). Then, thanks to Getty Photos, fans discover a matching cloud tattoo on Ariana’s finger. More and more news outlets come out with their relationship. For the next couple of days, things are quiet. And by quiet I mean the two of them post, like, and comment on each other’s Instagrams constantly.
May 23: Ariana Grande sets the record straight for a fan who wants to blame her for Mac Miller’s recent DUI. Her heartfelt post doesn’t confirm or deny her relationship with Pete, but it does send a powerful message about blaming women for their ex’s actions.
May 24: In a similar vein, Pete posts a long iPhone note on his Instagram story, discussing his mental health.
May 30: In what seems to be their official announcement, Pete posts a photo of the two of them in full-on Hogwarts attire. Ari’s a Slytherin and Pete’s a Gryffindor, as if you couldn’t already guess. He captions it “the chamber of secrets is open,” perhaps both a reference to the magical world and the fact that their relationship is outed. Ariana comments “u tryna slytherin” which is the first of many disgustingly cute comments from the two of them.
June 2: Pete’s tattoo artist reveals two new tattoos. One of them is Grande’s iconic bunny ears mask from the album Dangerous Woman. And the other is simply “AG” on his thumb. Seems he thought the clouds were too subtle.
June 3: Ariana’s Wango Tango set (where she debuted her new song “The Light Is Coming”) is apparently so good Pete goes into a rant on his Instagram story.
June 7: The pop singer posts her new boyfriend in a video where Pete defends his Harry Potter knowledge.
At this point it seems this is what life will be like now. Pete and Ariana will post about Harry Potter, about loving each other, and their celebrity friends like Alfredo Torres and Nicki Minaj will comment back in support. This is fine. Their joy is kind of infectious and it’s totally worth clogging your feed.
June 9: Ariana Grande’s official Instagram account becomes a Pete Davidson updates account. Update: They’re still in love. The photo is actually from the day before when the two of them attended Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s listening party in the desert hills of Santa Clarita, California. Kids may see ghosts, but Ari and Pete only have eyes for each other.
June 11: After being suspiciously chill through the weekend and probably spending a lot of time raving about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’s Tony wins, it’s reported that Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande are engaged. Somewhere far, far away (literally – she’s in Africa) Cazzie David takes a big sip of wine.
So, congratulations to the happy couple! Their likely Harry Potter themed wedding will go down in Pottermore history.
When you know, you know!
Less than a month after E! News learned that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson were seeing each other, multiple outlets report that the pair is now engaged.
"It's a recent engagement. They're just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time," a source shared with People. "They both started talking about it this past weekend. It's nothing they've been hiding."
A source also confirms to us that Ariana and Pete were telling people they are engaged this past weekend at Robert Pattinson's house party.
In just a few short weeks, fans couldn't help but sense the love and chemistry between the pop music superstar and Saturday Night Live comedian.
Pete recently debuted two tattoos that paid tribute to Ariana. In addition, the pair has been sharing flirty, heartfelt comments on Instagram. And yes, Ariana was also spotted wearing a brand-new piece of bling at iHeartRadio and 102.7 KIISFM's Wango Tango concert earlier this month in Los Angeles.
Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are celebrating their engagement, according to multiple reports.
The two 'were telling people that they're engaged' at Robert Pattinson's birthday party in Los Angeles on Saturday, UsWeekly revealed.
And TMZ added that 24-year-old SNL funnyman popped the question 'last week.'
The two started dating about a month ago. Bang Bang singer Ariana, 24, had only just broken up with rapper Mac Miller in April, while Davidson split from his long-time love in May.

'They are both constantly making each other laugh,' the Us Weekly's first source added.
'Their moms have met. They've been very public with their relationship on social media, and they are very in love.'
A third source said, 'They are looking forward to a very long engagement together.'
Grande's rep has yet to return calls to DailyMail.com for comment.
In love! They were first reported to be dating in late May. Several days later they became Instagram official with a cute Harry Potter post
People magazine also had sources confirming they were set to wed, with one saying Ariana's ring was 'big'.
'It’s a recent engagement,' a source told the site.
'They’re just two people who found love quickly and make each other happy all the time. They both started talking about it this past weekend. It’s nothing they’ve been hiding.'
Social announcement? Ariana has been posting excitedly on Twitter since the couple's news hit the web
Excited: In one Tweet she wrote, 'Tell them how I'm defying gravity,' possibly in relation to the couple becoming 'engaged'
Ariana has been posting on Twitter since the couple's news hit the web and her notes seem to express her joy about being newly engaged.
In one Tweet she wrote, 'Tell them how I'm defying gravity,' which is a line from Wicked; Ariana is rumored to be starring in an upcoming production of the musical.
She quickly followed that with a post that said, 'I love you (14 see-no-evil monkey emoji) sm (24 see-no-evil monkey emoji) ok bye.'
Celebrations: Ariana and Davidson enjoyed a family dinner together on Sunday night
The couple were seen together at a birthday party on Sunday in images shared to social media.
They were first reported to be dating in late May.
Several days later they became Instagram official with a cute Harry Potter post.
Davidson has also gotten two tattoos that are a nod to the siren. Sitting just behind and below the comic's left ear, one piece of ink featured a mask with bunny ears symbol that has become synonymous with the Bang Bang singer.
The second tattoo was needled onto his thumb and simply featured the letters A and G, which likely has something to do with Ariana.
Davidson, who lost his father in the 9/11 attacks, suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, but has defended his relationship with Ariana.
'I been hearing a lot of "people with bpd can’t be in relationships" talk,' he wrote on Instagram. 'I just wanna let you know that’s not true. Just because someone has a mental illness does not mean they can’t be happy and in a relationship.'
Previously: Ariana had been dating Miller for two years when they split in May
Before: Davidson previously dated Larry David's daughter Cazzie, and only confirmed the end of their two-year relationship on May 16
Ariana had been dating Miller for two years before she announced the end of the relationship on May 10 via a post to Instagram.
She wrote, 'Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favourite people on the planet Malcolm McCormick.
'I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!I can't wait to know and support you forever and I'm so proud of you!!'
Davidson previously dated Larry David's daughter Cazzie, and only confirmed the end of their two-year relationship on May 16.
As news of the engagement broke, Cazzie posted a selfie of herself drinking a large glass of red wine, and happily winking at the camera.

Davidson and Ariana share more than just show business success - both young artists have dealt with terrorism-related tragedy in their lives.
Twenty-three people were killed and more than 800 hurt in May 2017 during Ariana's show at Manchester, England's Manchester Arena following an attack by a suicide bomber.
Meanwhile Davidson was seven-years-old when he lost his firefighter father Scott during the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.
His mother, Amy, has talked of his total devastation at the loss, which affected him profoundly throughout his childhood.
She told the New York Times in 2015: ‘It’s sad how sad he was growing up.’
On one occasion, Davidson ended up ripping out all of his hair until he was bald. Amy noted that comedy, which Davidson started at the age of 16, was what made him ‘really, really happy’.
His rise through the comedy circuit was stratospheric, and he was just 20 when in 2014 he joined the SNL cast.
Also on Monday, Ariana and Nicki Minaj announced a new song together.
