More and more news outlets come out with their relationship. Then, thanks to Getty Photos, fans discover a matching cloud tattoo on Ariana’s finger. Pete is caught on video by a fan hanging out around Ariana and her team (including big brother Frankie Grande). May 20: The Billboard Music Awards happen. It’s at this point that Pete and Ariana start liking more and more of each other’s photos on Instagram. The SNL and Ariana Grande fandoms collide.
May 18: Bossip catches on and reports that Pete and Ariana are seeing each other. The cloud could mean anything, right?
