Ever since Ariana Grande and her now-ex-fiancé Pete Davidson called off their engagement earlier this week, fans have been desperate for details about what's going on with them. Thankfully, an insider close to the couple has revealed that they're just slowing things down and are still "spending time together."

The 'No Tears Left To Cry' singer has also broken her social media silence after the news, revealing that she's going to be staying offline for a little bit whilst she takes time out for herself.

She reportedly posted an Instagram Story - which has since been deleted - that read, 'time to say bye bye to the internet for just a lil bit. it's hard not to bump news n stuff that i'm not tryna to see rn. it's very sad and we're all tryin very hard to keep goin. love u. and thank u for bein here always.' sic

But there's now news of how Saturday Night Live comedian Pete is doing - and it's surprisingly well, all things considered.

A source close to the star told E! News, "Pete’s doing fine. He has a strong support system of family and friends around him that are keeping him laughing. While Pete’s focusing on himself, he always wishes the best for Ari."

This comes after reports that Ariana had given her huge engagement ring back to Pete, and rumours that they might still be together.

An insider told People magazine, "Their engagement is off, but they still plan on spending time together. It’s not like they split and never plan on seeing each other again - they just decided to slow things down."

They added that the death of her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, had played a part in the decision, "It was devastating and shocking to her. It’s had a huge, negative impact on her life and made her rethink many things in her life. She realised that planning a wedding right now felt very rushed," adding that it’s not "what she wants to do right now."

They also revealed that Ariana didn't want to make any "rushed decisions" and has decided to "take a step back instead."
