Ariana Grande & Big Sean broke up after 8 months, they ‘remain close friends’

wenn22176209

Almost a year ago exactly, Big Sean and Naya Rivera called off their engagement and the breakup got messy in a matter of hours. Naya seemed to claim that Big Sean had stolen jewelry from her, and there were widespread rumors that Sean was fooling around. Naya ended up marrying some guy within three months of the breakup, and Big Sean quickly moved on with little Ariana Grande. While I never thought Ariana and Big Sean would last, I have to admit that I was surprised to hear that they just split up too.

Big Sean and Ariana Grande have called it quits, PEOPLE can confirm.

“They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends,” the artists’ reps said in a joint statement. “We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time.”

The “Love Me Harder” songstress and the “I Don’t F— with You” rapper first went public with their romance at the 2014 MTV VMAs back in August. After they were spotted holding hands backstage at the award show, the couple didn’t make any attempts to hide their romance. They showed major PDA back in March when Big Sean, 26, joined Grande, 21, onstage during a tour stop in Detroit to perform “Big Mistake” together.

Grande is currently in the middle of her Honeymoon Tour, which is expected to last through Oct. 15. Big Sean, meanwhile, is busy with a tour of his own, which will last through Aug. 29.

E! News’ sources say that their “conflicting tour schedules” kept them apart and that there are no harsh feelings or bad vibes or anything. Translation: they didn’t break up because of cheating on either side. Maybe I’m out of the loop on Big Sean gossip, but I haven’t heard much about him fooling around on Ariana…? And Ariana… well, if Big Sean could put up with baby-diva for eight long months, he deserves some kind of medal.

Oh, and just last week, Justin Bieber sort of groped Ariana on stage during a duet and Big Sean either jokingly or for-real lost his temper about it. But TMZ says Bieber is NOT to blame. Hmm… Ariana and Bieber? I could see that.

    I think I really am getting old because this new generation of pop brats really just want to get onto my lawn with rifle of some kind and wave it around angrily (and I HATE guns)

  2. NewWester says:

    Bieber + Ariana= Major Gossip/Drama. Also for a little more fun add in Selena Gomez who would give major shade

    • Ameoba says:

      I don’t like either of the three but if babiana were to happen I would want Selena to just go away and move on with life already. She’s still hung up on Baby. There’s some Instagram shenanigan going on. She looks so desperate. I feel terrible for her.

  3. GlimmerBunny says:

    Ariana and Bieber would be great gossip-wise. But could either handle sharing their massive ego with the other one?

  4. Lara K says:

    Ariana and Beiber together would create a black hole of douchebaggery that could possibly rip apart the universe as we know it.
    I can’t wait.

  5. Jayna says:

    She has to be the most boring popstar ever to come out. She doesn’t even change up her hair, ever. She has zero personality on stage or off, just a nice voice.

  6. paola says:

    I’m not sure if it does even exist something less sexy that Bieber and Ariana Grande together.
    She keeps wearing white shoes and kitten ears.. and he keeps wearing his face.
    A miracle is what those two need.

  7. lisa says:

    Naya Rivera is somewhere laughing her butt off.

    • Ameoba says:

      Probably. But then i sometimes wonder if she got married in haste. I read somewhere she preggo already.

      • sally says:

        yeah he’s due soon .

        While I do think she married too quickly, I probably would have done the same. Can’t imagine your relationship falling apart months before your scheduled wedding date. I’d get hitched to the next man too. No shade, their marriage seems to be holding up well enough so far.

    I bet naya is laughing now

  9. ToodySezHey says:

    Halie best me to it. Somewhere in California Naya Rivera is cackling her ass off while her husband massages it.

  10. serena says:

    Ariana and Bieber?? Please spare us from the douchest baby-couple ever!

  11. ToodySezHey says:

    Oh snap…how did I miss the fact that Naya is several months pregnant.

    I think Naya dodged a bullet with Bug Sean. She clearly has what she wanted: marriage and family. Who knew she and her substitute husband would last this long?

  12. QQ says:

    They never Made much sense to Me because she looks like a LOT of work to deal with and he seems the type to be into Video Model Types.. Then I remember he dated Naya for a while so maybe he does Like his bona Fides to be big difficult divas

    • Shambles says:

      They presented a nice Instagram front for a while. I have this feeling like “it’s quiet… Tooooo quiet,” as in this girl is a certified mess, and Big Sean went from Naya LopezDashian to this one (so he can’t be that much more sane). The lack of drama is very suspicious

  13. Skins says:

    She is hot. Glad to see her get away from that no-talent hack

  14. icy says:

    Pr contract is up!

  15. Kara says:

    please please please make them love each other dearly and decide that they want to live their love outside of the spotlight. how about some remote farm, you two lovebirds, hm? or the moon?

  16. Jade says:

    Yes pls Justiana Biegrande cos it’s so delicious. Since both have been carried like babies, that pic them being carried by their bodyguards taking long ‘walks’ by the beach would be gold.

  17. Dash says:

    Ariana and Bieber are both managed by Scooter Braun, and she previously “dated” Nathan from The Wanted, another Scooter Braun managed act. If the fans want Ariana and Bieber together I’m sure they will start playing that game. Maybe a duet (like Ariana and Nathan did).

  18. Amy says:

    No tears shed.

    They were both jerks during that interview with Shaun Robinsen. Good luck to whoever they end up with next.

  19. Josefa says:

    Ariana can sure be irritating but she’s NOT on Justin Bieber’s level. No one is on his level but him.

  20. Meany says:

    Who really cares lol saw her in concert with my kid. She’s a great singer but otherwise it was pretty boring never really interacted with the crowd just gives a shout out between songs. She seems like she has self esteem issues with her fixing her hair every 2 minutes while singing…was annoying

  21. Jenna says:

    If THEY can’t make it… NO ONE CAN?!?!?!
