'Big enough to enjoy': Pete Davidson finally opens up on the reason Ariana Grande called him 'Mr BDE'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pete Davidson has revealed the mystery around his much-discussed BDE. The 29-year-old former cast member of 'Saturday Night Live' visited 'The Breakfast Club' on Thursday, April 13, to debut the first trailer for his Peacock series 'Bupkis', which launches on streaming services on May 4. The comedian explained that the show's name was derived from Davidson's grandfather's frequent use of the phrase, which "means nothing at all."
During his appearance on 'The Breakfast Club', the actor—who has dated some of the most stunning women in Hollywood—was asked about his manhood. "It's a very normal-sized penis. It's like, you know, not too big or too small. Just like... I don't understand that," Davidson said. The 'Bupkis' star went on to explain that he had been told by ex-partners that it was "big enough to enjoy but not big enough for it to hurt," reports the Daily Mail.

BDE came into existence in June 2018
When Davidson got engaged to pop diva Ariana Grande in 2018, the comedian's BDE first came into existence. He has since dated some of the most elegant women in Hollywood, such as Margaret Qualley, Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian, and Emily Ratajkowski. When a fan enquired in June 2018 about the length of the Pete Davidson-themed song on Grande's 'Sweetener' album, the singer replied cheekily, "like 10 inches? ... oh f**k... I mean... like a lil over a minute." The fan answered, "10 INCHES SIS OMFG." Big D**k Energy, also known as BDE, is a new term that arose from Grande's TMI response and signifies precisely what she mentioned. After a five-month engagement, Ariana and Pete called it off in the middle of October.

The two were merely dating, per a November 2022 report from Us Weekly. An insider exclusively revealed to the outlet at the time that "Pete and Emily have been talking for a couple months now," adding that the two were "in the very early stages, but both really like each other."
