Ariana Grande, Big Sean break-up

CALIFORNIA, United States — Singers Ariana Grande and Big Sean have parted ways after 8 months of dating.

The couple released a joint statement saying, “They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends. We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time.”

The couples were inseparable as they walked the red carpet together at February’s Grammy Awards.

Grande and Big Sean confirmed their relationship last October; they also collaborated together on the hit song, “Big Mistake.”
