The original story appears below.
Pete Davidson seemingly revealed that he's now married.
On Tuesday morning, a press release was published in regards to a production company that the 27-year-old "Saturday Night Live" star co-founded, called Bodega Cats Presents.
The press release named Michelle Davidson as the comedian's founding partner and co-CEO. Additionally, "Pete and Michelle were childhood friends prior to starting Bodega Cats Presents and are married."
Her maiden name was Michelle Mootreddy, and according to her personal website, she grew up in the Bronx borough of New York City. Prior to co-founding Bodega Cats Presents with Davidson, Michelle was in event planning and marketing.
Prior to getting married, Davidson was in highly-publicized relationships.
He dated Cazzie David, the daughter of Larry David, for two years.
In her essay collection titled "No One Asked for This," David said that the "King of Staten Island" star broke up with her in 2018 via text message.
The following day, she learned that Davidson had moved on to singer Ariana Grande.
Davidson himself broke his silence on David's revelation during an interview with Insider's Claudia Willen, saying: "I'm really happy for her. It did well, and, you know, we're cool. I wish her nothing but the best."
Davidson and Grande seemingly met when the Grammy-winning singer performed on "SNL" in 2014. Grande hosted and performed on the show in March 2016.
Their engagement was revealed in June 2018, a month after dating speculation began. Throughout their whirlwind relationship, Davidson and Grande got tattoos dedicated to each other, posted photos and comments about their relationship on social media, and packed on the PDA at the 2018 MTV VMAs.
By October 2018, the couple ended their engagement and split. Davidson joked about their relationship on "SNL" and Grande name-dropped the comedian on her song "Thank U, Next."
Davidson went on to have brief relationships with Kate Beckinsale, actress Margaret Qualley, and model Kaia Gerber.
A representative for Davidson didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
