It's said the internet never forgets.

Not that we ever doubted the saying, but we were reminded of it once again this weekend.

On Saturday, Kim Kardashian attended Ariana Grande's Los Angeles concert of her "Eternal Sunshine Tour" with her former assistant Stephanie Shepherd and actress Emma Roberts.

However, as the SKIMS founder was seen enjoying and singing along with her girl pals to Grande's performance, fans were quick to remember their old connection — Pete Davidson.

To elaborate, as TMZ pointed it out, the 45-year-old entrepreneur showed up "to support her ex-boyfriend's ex-fiancée."

Soon, fans took to the social media to offer their two cents to the bizarre connection.

One fan jokingly said: "Pete Davidson watching this from home: 'Why am I in the group chat and not in the group chat.'"

Someone else added: "The ex-boyfriend is Pete Davidson and somehow he remains the main character in every room he's never in."

"Ex in laws," chimed in another, while another fan noted: "Pop culture really has no real timeline anymore."

Grande and Davidson were engaged for a brief period in 2018. While the couple initially met for the first time in 2016, when the "thank you, next" singer made a stop at Davidson's "Saturday Night Live" in May 2016 to promote her album, "Dangerous Woman," they reconnected two years later in May 2018.

After dating for a few weeks, they announced their engagement in June. Meanwhile, they also debuted tattoos of each other's names, namely the "Wicked" star's "Pete" and Davidson's "Grande."

Nevertheless. following a short yet intense, social media famous relationship and a shared pet pig (Piggie Smalls), the duo broke up in October of that year.

Three years following their break up, Kardashian was linked with Davidson in October 2018. Following a much-hyped Met Gala appearance in May 2022, the pair broke up in August.

However, it'd seem that despite their shared past, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star is not harboring any bad blood. Not only did she share a video of Grande performing, she captioned it with "My baby," but was also seen singing along.

In another clip that she shared on her Instagram story, Kardashian sang along Grande's performance of “We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" with Roberts and Shepherd.
