On January 23, 2025, the Academy unveiled its 2025 Oscar nominees, including Ariana Grande in the 'Best Supporting Actress' category for her portrayal of Glinda in Jon M. Chu's Wicked. While the singer's fans are rooting for her to win, Grande's ex-fiance, Pete Davidson, is also cheering her on.
According to a tweet by X page @PopBase on February 15, 2025, Pete Davidson said:
“When we see each other, which is few and far between, because we’re not in the same circles, it’s all love. I hope she wins the Oscar, I hope she takes the gold.”

"they should have a comeback arc"
"i'm sure that's a supportive move, it's nice to see exes being supportive of each other's successes," an X user commented.
"That's really sweet of Pete Davidson! It's clear he still has a lot of love and respect for Ariana Grande, even after their breakup. Rooting for her to win an Oscar is a classy move. It's great to see they can maintain a positive relationship despite going their separate ways," another X user mentioned.
"they need to get back together," an internet user stated.
Meanwhile, some netizens expressed their discontent over Pete Davidson's affirmative statement about his ex-fiance:
"GET AWAY FROM HER," an X user tweeted.
"ariana is too forgiving this man is lowkey psychotic," a netizen said.
