While the Dangerous Woman singer didn’t reveal the man’s identity, it didn’t take long for internet detectives to discover that the tattoo sleave belonging to the man in the picture matched Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson’s ink.

Davidson, also 24, was in a long-term relationship with Larry David’s daughter, Cazzie, but they confirmed their split last week.

Rumours had been swirling about Grande and Davidson after they were spotted getting cosy at the SNL after-party on May 12.

Davidson was also seen was waiting by the side of the stage as Grande performed her new single No Tears Left to Cry at the Billboard Music Awards.

“After Ariana’s performance, they were backstage and he had his arm around her,” a source told People. “They seemed very lovey-dovey. He was hanging out with her and her friends with his arm around her. She seemed quite smitten.”

The Handmaid’s Tale star Elisabeth Moss was briefly married former SNL star Fred Armisen for eight months after her Mad Men co-star Jon Hamm introduced them when he was on SNL. Moss called the marriage “extremely traumatic and awful and horrible”.
