Another day, another addition to our Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson relationship timeline [1]. After completely surprising fans with the announcement of their sudden engagement [2], Nick Cannon has revealed he found out Pete was going to pop the question [3] a few days before he actually did. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the Wild 'n Out host said he called [4] and gave close friend Pete his blessing.
"He called before he was going to do it, and I said, 'Salud!'" Nick said. "He was really excited, so I was like, 'I love it, man. Keep it going.' Love is in the air!" (Love was definitely in the air at Disneyland [5] where the two couldn't keep their hands off each other. . . on Space Mountain.)
After getting engaged to Mariah Carey [7] after a few weeks of dating in 2008, Nick has nothing but support for his friend's relationship. "To see them together. . . and I've been one of those dudes with one of those fantasy, fantastic relationships where you just go off and get married, so I was like, 'Do it,'" he said. "I've congratulated Pete. I haven't spoken to Ariana, but I'm happy for them . . . I think they're outstanding. They're young people in love and you can't knock that. It's like The Notebook. I'm up for all weddings. I'll officiate. I don't know how long they'll last if you let me do it, but I'm up for it."
Well, there you have it! Ari and Pete, if you're in any rush whatsoever [8], Nick seems ready and willing to offer his services, and I'm definitely available to be the flower girl.
