“God forbid we split up, she takes half my sneakers,” he said laughing. “I’m totally comfortable being with a successful woman. I live a her place. She pays, like, 60 grand for rent and all I have to do is stock the fridge … Last night, I switched her birth control with Tic Tacs,” he joked. “I believe in us and all, but you know, I just want to make sure that she can’t go anywhere.”

He also brought up Grande’s new album, Sweetener, which includes a song named after him.

“You know, I don’t even get royalties for that ‘Pete Davidson‘ song? Like, if we break up, and we won’t — we will — but we won’t. I’m kidding. But like in ten years, if God forbid that ever happened, there will be a song called ‘Pete Davidson‘ like playing in speakers at K-Mart and I’ll be working there,” he added.

The news broke on Sunday, October 14, that the singer, 25, and the comedian called off their engagement after just four months.
