Pete Davidson Supports Ex-Fiancée Ariana Grande’s Oscar Nomination: “I Hope She Takes the Gold”

Pete Davidson is proving that time heals all wounds, as he recently expressed his full support for ex-fiancée Ariana Grande and her Academy Award nomination. The comedian, actor, and former Saturday Night Live star made it clear that there’s nothing but love between the two, despite their high-profile split in 2018.

“When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we’re not in the same circles, it’s all love,” Davidson shared in a recent interview. “I hope she wins the Oscar, I hope she takes the gold.”

His words come as Grande continues to receive widespread acclaim for her portrayal of Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked.

Ariana Grande’s Journey to the Oscars

Ariana Grande has long been a powerhouse in the music industry, but her foray into acting—particularly her role in Wicked—has elevated her career to new heights. Her performance as Glinda, the Good Witch, has been met with critical praise, earning her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 97th Academy Awards.

The Wicked adaptation itself has been a major success, securing ten Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Fans and critics alike have been captivated by Grande’s transformation into the beloved character, showcasing her ability to balance powerful vocals with genuine, heartfelt acting.

When news of her nomination broke, Grande was overwhelmed with gratitude, sharing on social media that she “cannot stop crying” and feels honored to be recognized alongside such esteemed actresses.

Pete Davidson on Past Relationships and Media Scrutiny

While Davidson’s dating history has been widely publicized, he has often spoken about how difficult it is to navigate fame while under constant media scrutiny. He has been linked to several high-profile relationships, including with Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kaia Gerber, but his brief engagement to Grande remains one of the most talked-about moments of his personal life.

In the same interview where he praised Grande, Davidson admitted that the media’s fascination with his romantic life has often been overwhelming. “The obsession with my love life was humiliating,” he said, emphasizing that he prefers to focus on his career rather than the constant speculation about his relationships.

A Full-Circle Moment for Grande and Davidson

Davidson and Grande’s whirlwind romance began in 2018, quickly escalating to an engagement before they ultimately parted ways later that year. Despite their breakup, the two have shown maturity and mutual respect in the years since.

Davidson’s public support for Grande’s Oscar nomination is a testament to their amicable post-relationship dynamic. Rather than harboring resentment, he seems genuinely happy for her success and excited about her potential Oscar win.

As awards season heats up, all eyes are on the Academy Awards, which will take place on March 2, 2025, in Los Angeles. Hosted by Conan O’Brien, the ceremony is set to be one of the most exciting in recent years, with Wicked as a major contender.

Whether Grande takes home the gold or not, her nomination alone marks a milestone in her career, solidifying her as a multi-talented performer capable of excelling in both music and film. And with support from unexpected places—like her ex-fiancé—it’s clear that her journey to the Oscars is one worth celebrating.
