Rapper Big Sean and Grande broke up in April 2015 after eight months.
“They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends,” a representative told multiple media outlets at the time.
“We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time.”
Late Glee star Naya Rivera had been engaged to Big Sean when Grande allegedly started going out with the rapper.
“On the one day that he was back in L.A., he said he didn’t want to see me. But since she had a key, she let herself into his house. I walk in, go downstairs, and guess what little girl is sitting cross-legged on the couch listening to music? … It rhymes with ‘Smariana Schmande,'” Rivera alleged in her 2016 book Sorry Not Sorry.
“I learned that I was no longer getting married from the internet, and at the same time as the rest of the world,” she claimed.
“Not only were we not getting married, we weren’t even together anymore.”
At the time, Grande and Big Sean were working on the single Big Mistake together.
Grande confirmed the romance in October 2014, before their April 2015 split.
