Pete Davidson’s "Saturday Night Live" family loves that he found love!
If you hadn’t heard, the 24-year-old comedian got engaged to Ariana Grande while the show was on hiatus, and on Saturday night’s season 44 premiere, Davidson’s cast and crew mates wasted no time teasing him — with love! — over his celebrity romance.

It started right from host Adam Driver’s opening monologue bit, where the "BlacKkKlansman" star — exhausted by "what’d you do over the summer" small talk with the other "SNL" players — was much more intrigued when approached by Davidson, telling him, "You’re the one person whose summer I actually wanna hear about."
Shortly after, Kyle Mooney devoted a whole sketch to hilariously trying to one-up his co-star’s engagement, by dressing like him, stealing his friends, and even starting a celebrity romance of his own — with Wendy Williams.
Colin Jost and Michael Che then brought Davidson out during Weekend Update, where he made a few jokes at his own expense about his life changing summer.
Asked by Jost about whether the couple has a prenup, Davidson joked, "Obviously, I wanted one. God forbid, we split up and she takes half my sneakers."
"Look, I’m totally comfortable with a successful woman. I think it’s dope, I live at her place," he added. "She pays like sixty grand for rent, and all I have to do is stock the fridge… and, yeah."
