Ariana Grande & Big Sean News: Rapper Says Relationship Started Out as Friendship
Ariana Grande and her boyfriend, Big Sean were seen together at the Grammys, getting rather cozy on the red carpet.
The couple looked their best at the awards ceremony. Grande performed at the awards and Sean supported and cheered for her. Grande was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys.
Speaking about her getting nominated, she told Ryan Seacrest, "I'm just excited to be here. I never expected to be nominated in, like, my first couple of years of doing this, so it's an honor and I'm very excited. I'm super nervous though," according to E! News.
Right after the Grammys, Grande posted a picture on Instagram, along with Sean on the red carpet that said, "also thanks to my boyfriend for making me laugh thru the nerves/ unbearably awkward red carpet interviews. there is nothing weirder. i love u @bigsean."
Grande and Sean started dating in October, last year. Before Grande, Sean had a very public breakup with Naya Rivera.
Speaking about dating Grande, Sean said, "Ariana and I started as friends. I'd never done that. Usually you meet a girl and then start dating. We always saw each other in the studio, and we'd talk about songs we were working on. It was cool to have a girl that I could talk to about my problems. I did that with her. It's not some fake-a**, inauthentic s*** when I say we were friends. This is something special and I appreciate every moment of it," according to Complex.
The couple seems to be painting the town red and the virtual world as well, especially with Grande's photos on her Instagram. Just a few days ago, Grande posted a picture of the couple at a restaurant, where Sean reportedly sang "Stevie Wonder' for her. She posted a picture saying, "fyi he stood up on his chair & started singing Stevie Wonder at the top of his lungs after this photo was taken and i ran to the bathroom and hid (not actually)."
