After 8 months of dating, Big and Grande (pun intended) are calling it quits. Big Sean, 27 and Grande, 22 reps both released a 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 two were rumored to be couple when they were seen holding hands backstage at the VMA’s last year. The songstress and rapper began dating in August 2014. Sean and Grande worked on songs together like “Problem”, “Best Mistake” and “Right There.”
