Pete Davidson supports ex fiancée Ariana Grande's Oscar nod: "I hope she wins"
Pete Davidson recently opened up about his brief yet highly publicized romance with Ariana Grande, which began in the spring of 2018, led to an engagement by June, and ended in October of the same year.
Now, years later in an interview for Page Six, the
SNL
alum says things between them are in a good place. 'When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we're not in the same circles, it's all love,' he shared.
Davidson also expressed his excitement for Grande's
Wicked
Oscar nomination, adding, 'I hope she wins the Oscar, I hope she takes the gold.' Reflecting on his past relationships, he noted, 'I've had some pretty adult relationships with some pretty amazing women, and when it's ended, it's been cool.'
Davidson also reflected on how his high-profile relationships—including his whirlwind 2018 romance with Grande—often overshadowed his career. 'Everyone is dating everyone in Hollywood… but because I'm ugly, they wrote about me. It made my life a living hell,' he shared, adding that the intense scrutiny was 'pretty humiliating and upsetting".
During their whirlwind relationship, Davidson got four tattoos dedicated to Grande, while she wrote the song
'
Pete Davidson' for her
Sweetener
album.
With
SNL50: The Anniversary Celebration
set to air on February 16, Davidson is focusing on his career and moving forward, steering away from the tabloid-fueled attention that once defined his public image.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom to reportedly split after her Lifetimes tour ends: "It's over"
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's relationship is reportedly over, with sources revealing that the couple is set to part ways once Perry's 'Lifetimes' tour wraps up. The couple, who got engaged in 2019 and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, have been facing ongoing struggles, with a breakup expected in the near future. An insider close to the pair told Page Six, 'It's over,' adding that they are simply waiting for the tour, which began on April 23 and runs through December 7, to finish before making the split official. The relationship has been under increasing strain, with sources attributing much of the tension to Perry's recent frustrations surrounding the release of her album 143. The album's poor reception has caused stress in the relationship, with another source mentioning that Perry was also upset about some of the reviews of her tour performances. This marks the second time the couple has faced significant challenges. They previously separated for a year in 2017 before reuniting. Despite previously seeking therapy to resolve their issues, sources indicate that the couple's differences may now be insurmountable.

Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
A federal judge has dismissed actor and director Justin Baldoni's $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, marking a significant development in the legal feud stemming from the 2024 film It Ends With Us. The ruling, issued Monday by Judge Lewis J. Liman, also included the dismissal of Baldoni's $250 million libel suit against The New York Times. Baldoni, who co-starred and directed the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel, had alleged that Lively, Reynolds, and publicist Leslie Sloane defamed him in connection with Lively's civil rights complaint filed in December 2024. The complaint included allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, and a smear campaign during and after the film's production. Baldoni, who has denied the allegations, filed his countersuit in January. According to court documents obtained by multiple outlets including Page Six and CNN, Judge Liman determined that Lively's complaint was protected by legal privilege under California law, which shields such statements made in civil rights proceedings. Additionally, the court ruled that Baldoni failed to show that Reynolds, Sloane, or The New York Times acted with 'actual malice' or seriously doubted the truth of the statements in question—criteria necessary to sustain a defamation claim. The court allowed Baldoni until June 23 to amend two claims: breach of the implied covenant of good faith and tortious interference with contract. These claims relate to alleged disruptions to existing agreements and potential reputational damage involving Reynolds and Lively. In a statement to Page Six, Lively's attorneys, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, called the decision a 'total victory and a complete vindication.' They further criticized Baldoni's lawsuit as a 'sham' and stated their intent to pursue attorneys' fees, punitive damages, and treble damages. While Baldoni's legal team did not immediately respond to requests for comment, the broader legal battle remains active, with a trial date set for March 2026.

Jared Leto denies allegations after getting accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women
Jared Leto has denied multiple allegations of sexual misconduct following a detailed report published by Air Mail on June 7. The report includes accounts from several women, with four alleging they were underage when they first interacted with the Oscar-winning actor and musician. Two women, DJ Allie Teilz and Laura La Rue, went on the record. Teilz stated in a resurfaced 2012 Facebook post, 'You're not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat.' She added on Instagram, 'I was assaulted and traumatised by this creep when I was 17. He knew my age and didn't care.' Leto's representative responded, 'Ms. Teilz's allegations are demonstrably false.' Laura La Rue alleged she met Leto at an animal rights benefit in 2008, told him she was 16, and later visited him at his studio. She claimed he once appeared completely naked. Leto's rep responded, 'Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate,' and noted La Rue had allegedly applied to be his personal assistant—an assertion she denies. Additional claims include one woman who said Leto began calling her repeatedly after they met at a Los Angeles café when she was 16. She alleged the calls became sexual. Another actress claimed that, after turning 18, Leto exposed himself and initiated unwanted sexual contact. Leto's rep issued a blanket statement to Air Mail: 'All of the allegations are expressly denied.' The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman has not made a personal public comment as of this publication.
