Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande may be an unlikely celebrity pair, but it looks like these two are quite smitten with one another. Rumors about Davidson and Grande dating only started a couple weeks ago — and were soon followed by a confirmation from the two — but judging by their social media interactions, their relationship is very passionate. Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande's Instagram flirting is truly a sight to behold.

And while they've reportedly only been dating for a few weeks, Davidson and Grande may have already taken a huge step in their relationship. The two of them appear to have matching cloud tattoos on their hands. And based on their many social media interactions, it looks like clouds have a special meaning for Grande and Davidson. Grande has been using the cloud emoji in her own Instagram captions, as well as in comments on Davidson's Instagram posts. It's safe to say the couple is floating on Cloud 9 when they're together. (If that wasn't enough, Davidson also has two new tattoos that appear to be inspired by Grande.)

Here are the times Davidson and Grande have publicly flirted on Instagram so far — but based on how many interactions they've had on the app so far, it looks like these posts are just the beginning.

1They Might Have Joked About Having Kids

Davidson shared a photo of himself with Atlanta star Brian Tyree Henry, captioning it "i'm having his kids 😝." Grande commented on the post, writing, "i look so good here," along with a heart-eyes emoji. Some fans thought Grande's joke-y comment was a suggestion that she and Davidson might have kids together one day.

If that weren't enough, Grande responded to his comment, writing, "sksjsjsjjajsjaa nahhh i am."

Shortly after the rumors about the Grande and Davidson dating first began, Grande fueled the fire by leaving a blushing smiley face emoji on an Instagram post from Davidson. Even before they confirmed their relationship, these two were already flirting with each other online.

Davidson and Grande's pairing may be surprising to fans, but it looks like they're having plenty of fun together, both online and IRL. They're both supporting each other's professional endeavors, in person and on Instagram, and they're having fun while doing it. And if they ever want to spend a quiet night in together, it sounds like neither of them will ever tire of Harry Potter marathons.
