Barely two weeks ago, singer Ariana Grande announced her breakup with rapper Mac Miller to her 119 million Instagram fans. At the time, 24-year-old Grande didn't reveal what caused her split with Miller, 26, but noted in an Instagram story post that "unconditional love is not selfish. It is wanting the best for the person, even if at the moment, it's not you."

Now, after her May 10 announcement, Grande is rumored to already be seeing someone special—again—comedian Pete Davidson. According to reports on Monday, the "No Tears Left to Cry" singer and Davidson, a Saturday Night Live cast member, have started casually dating.

Rumors of Grande and Davidson's budding romance first sparked over the weekend following a report the two were hanging out by gossip site Bossip. Then on Monday, Us Weekly followed up the story with claims Grande and Davidson were spotted out with his mom at an SNL after-party on May 12.

Davidson also recently broke up with his longtime girlfriend, Larry David's daughter Cazzie David. While appearing on Peter Rosenberg's Complex series Open Late on Thursday, Davidson announced he and Cazzie David were "not together anymore."

"Very talented girl, she'll be great, and she'll be fine. Yeah, I think she'll be OK," Davidson said.

The Guy Code star, of course, didn't divulge the reasons for their breakup, either.

Davidson and David started dating in 2016.

Similarly, Grande and Miller also officially became a couple in 2016, though the pair had known and worked together since 2012. In her post announcing their breakup, Grande said she would always be grateful for Miller. "Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet Malcolm McCormick," she wrote. "I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us.

Not long after their breakup, Miller was arrested after he drunkenly crashed his car into a power pole in the San Fernando Valley and fled the scene with two other passengers.
