While we’ve all been patiently waiting for Jewish SNL comedian Pete Davidson to get single and ready to mingle, icon and hit-maker Miss Ariana Grande sunk her claws into him first. The couple donned matching Harry Potter cloaksto visit Universal Studios. He’s a Gryffindor, she’s a Slytherin. Never forget. She’s devious, he’s noble.

In fact, the Twitter mobs were so outraged by the fact that SNl’s youngest-ever cast-member was dating America’s sweetheart that they forced Davidson (who previously canoodled with Larry David’s offspring) to post on Instagram declaring that his mental illness would not stop him from being a good boyfriend. “Just because someone has a mental illness does not mean they can’t be happy and in a relationship. It also doesn’t mean the person makes the relationship toxic,” he wrote.

Unpopular opinion: They’ve only been dating a minute, but Pete Davidson is already the finest of Ariana Grande’s boyfriends. (Incidentally, also Grande’s second Jewish boyfriend, following the Jewish rapper Mac Miller).

So yeah, The Schmooze has officially endorsed this relationship as cute as hell.
