While Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande may have shocked the world with their whirlwind romance and engagement, one person was not surprised by the news, Pete’s friend and fellow comedian, Nick Cannon!
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Nick revealed Pete called him before popping the question. “He called before he was going to do it, and I said, ‘Salud!’ He was really excited, so I was like, ‘I love it, man. Keep it going.’ Love is in the air!” Nick shared.
Nick is no stranger to quick weddings. He and his ex-wife Mariah Carey got married after just weeks of dating, and he admitted as much! “To see them together — and I’ve been one of those dudes with one of those fantasy, fantastic relationships where you just go off and get married…so I was like, ‘Do it,’” Nick said.
“I’ve congratulated Pete. I haven’t spoken to Ariana, but I’m happy for them. I think they’re outstanding. They’re young people in love and you can’t knock that. It’s like The Notebook,” Nick gushed. “I’m up for all weddings. I’ll officiate. I don’t know how long they’ll last if you let me do it, but I’m up for it.”

“I’m a hopeless romantic, or as I say, a fearless romantic,” Nick replied when asked if he thought the young couple is moving too fast. “I just like to jump into it, and sometimes it can get you in trouble, but it makes for some great stories.”
Pete has made guest appearances on Nick’s show Wild N’ Out, while he and Ariana both worked for Nickelodeon for years. “I watched them grow up. A lot of people don’t know Pete Davidson is someone I introduced to entertainment,” Nick shared.
