Pete Davidson had a feeling his engagement to Ariana Grande would end when Mac Miller died.
Sitting down for an all-encompassing interview with Charlamagne Tha God, the “Saturday Night Live” star admitted that watching his ex-fiancée publicly grieve her ex-boyfriend was difficult.
“I totally got it,” said Davidson, 26. “She would even tell you this. I was like, ‘Listen, I get it, do whatever you’ve got to do, I’ll be here.’ I think I said, ‘I’ll be here until you don’t want me to be here.’”
The “Big Time Adolescence” star figured their relationship wouldn’t withstand the tragedy but defended Grande, saying her mourning was 100 percent genuine.
“I pretty much knew it was around over after that,” he continued. “That was really horrible, and I can’t imagine what that s–t is like. All I do know is that she really loved the s–t out of him, and she wasn’t putting on a show or anything. That was f–ked up. Prayers to his family and all of his friends.”
