Yahoo News Pete Davidson fans set up GoFundMe page after Ariana Grande ‘split’: ‘He will need somewhere to sleep tonight’
Pete Davidson’s fans set up a GoFundMe page for the comedian after it was reported he has split from fiancé Ariana Grande.
The US couple are said to have called time on their whirlwind romance last week because it “simply was not the right time for their relationship to take off,” according to TMZ.
Fans of the Saturday Night Live star set up a fundraising page to help find the comedian “somewhere to sleep” after assuming Grande has kicked him out and he’ll have nowhere to live.
The description read: “As you may all know, Pete Davidson and his fiancé have recently broken up. He will need somewhere to sleep tonight.”

The page has since been deleted.
Fans were in hysterics over the spoof, which sparked a flurry of copycat pages. One has a target of $2,000 (£1,523) while another is aiming to raise a whopping £7 million.
One tweeted: “Did I seriously just read that ppl created a GoFundMe for #petedavidson? Omg.”
Another wrote: “Is it true someone started a GoFundMe for Pete Davidson so that he won’t go homeless after Ariana kicks him out lmao people of the internet are so f****** cruel lmaoooo.”
A third joked that someone should fundraise for money to help remove the matching tattoos he got with Grande, tweeting: “Someone please go create a GoFundMe for getting Pete Davidson’s tattoos about Ariana removes.”

Grande and Pete Davidson got engaged in June after weeks of dating. The Saturday Night Live star said he knew he wanted to marry the God is a Woman singer the first time they met.
Speaking to GQ he said: “The day I met her, I was like, ‘Hey, I’ll marry you tomorrow.’
“She was calling my bluff. I sent her a picture (of engagement rings).
“I was like, ‘Do you like any of these?’ She was like, ‘Those are my favourite ones,’ and I was like, ‘Sick’.”
Grande recently revealed that she is taking time off to “heal and mend” in the wake of ex-boyfriend Mac Miller’s death last month and the Manchester Arena attack which saw a suicide bomber murder 22 people at her concert in May 2017.
