“We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time."

Ariana, 21, and the 27-year-old rapper - who was previously engaged to Glee star Naya Rivera - confirmed that they were an official couple in October 2014 after working on a number of tracks together, including Right There.
Sources close to the couple have said that they broke up a few weeks ago after their schedules meant that they found it hard to spend quality time together.
“They made the decision to part ways because their conflicting touring schedules would keep them apart over the next year,” an insider told Us Weekly.

 

The former loved-up couple used to gush about each other on their social media pages, at the beginning of the month, the Finally Famous rapper wrote: "Just know I love u and I care for ya."
While Ariana tweeted on Thursday: "Love u babes the most. You just can't imagine."
Earlier this month, it was claimed that Big Sean was outraged over Ariana's steamy performance with Justin Bieber.

 

Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande sent their fans wild after they took to the stage together.
But according to reports, Ariana's then-beau Big Sean was not happy with Justin's actions.
HOV reported the rapper tweeted: ""This kid is about to learn not to touch my girl like that. Beliebe that."
Big Sean's reps have since denied that he posted this on social media.
