So much for keeping a low profile. TMZ is reporting that super-speedy lovers Ariana Grande and “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson have taken their engagement party to one of Manhattan’s most celebrated new buildings.
Word is that Grande and Davidson have picked an apartment at Zaha Hadid’s 520 W. 28th St. in Chelsea as their premarital playpen. If true, it’s a bold move that ought to earn the adorable, if seemingly unlikely couple a ton of credit for good taste, not to mention a willingness to flaunt their young and rich lifestyle.
The space-age wonder in Chelsea is also a far cry from the Staten Island neighborhood where Davidson was born and raised. Grande, from Florida, has been living the high life for years: She was a child star on Nickelodeon before becoming a major pop singer.
Davidson has made it no secret that he suffers from a borderline personality disorder and has been struggling with addiction, although he claims to be clean for the first time in eight years. Not to be missed is the video below of Davidson’s “interview” with fellow Staten Islander and “SNL” star Colin Jost, whom Davidson claims is Staten Island’s “most popular person from there.”

The lovebirds’ new apartment is a 4,023-square-foot unit with 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. While the exact apartment is not known, it could be #34, which fits the description to a T and was removed from the market just a few days ago.
The apartment is a sponsor unit and had been listed for sale for $16 million. But we’re going to take a stab and say the young power couple (both are 24 years old and have known each other since Grande hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 2016) are most likely renting.
The last recorded sale of a unit at 520 W. 28th St. was in December 2017, for a 2-bedroom, 2,133-square-foot unit that went for $6.43 million. Since then, all the unsold units in the Hadid building have been moved to off-market status. That included the $16 million listing now reportedly occupied by Grande and Davidson.
