Pete Davidson isn't over Ariana Grande.

The SNL comedian, who split with the singer made news last week, is 'still in love' with her, according to a friend who spoke to Page Six.

Pete's pal revealed that the stand-up hopes they can reconcile, as he "sees a future with her," reports The Daily Mail.

The insider told the paper: "I talked to Pete a few days ago and he was joking again. He's still in love with Ariana and sees a future with her. [But] He knows [the breakup] is for the best."

According to the pal he's coping with the help of his "strong support system."

"He is staying with very close friends he considers family. Pete has a strong support system."

While neither Davidson or Grande have discussed the reasons for the split, multiple reports have suggested Ariana pulled the plug in because of Pete's 'lack of support' after her ex Mac Miller's death in September.

"Ariana dumped Pete," an insider told The Sun last week. "They'd been rowing for two weeks about Pete's lack of support after Mac's death."

"Ariana has been devastated and Pete couldn't handle it. She realized she needs a grown-up who can support her and that's not him."

Since the split the God Is A Woman singer has be "burying herself in work," according to E! News.

But friends and family "have urged her to take a break and really relax and take time for herself."

"Ever since Mac [Mac Miller] passed, she has been avoiding the grievance process and has been trying to keep herself insanely busy," sources revealed.

Grande was first seen post-split on Tuesday in NYC, where she covered up a tattoo of Davidson's initials with a band-aid.

Her $100k engagement ring was also absent.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson announced their engagement in June. Pete confirmed it during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

At the time, they had been together a month or less.

The pair moved in together to a pricey New York City apartment, which Pete told GQ Ariana paid for.

Ariana and Pete eventually adopted a teacup pig, called Piggy Smalls, together. It appears Ariana kept the pig in the split.
