Ariana Grande and Big Sean Split

ABC/Kevin Mazur(NEW YORK) — Ariana Grande and Big Sean are no longer making beautiful music together. The couple has called it quits after eight months of dating.

“They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends,” Grande’s rep tells ABC Radio. “We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time.”

Insiders tell Us Weekly the couple’s conflicting schedules likely contributed to the split. Both the singer and the rapper are currently on tour, making it difficult for them to see each other.

“They made the decision to part ways because their conflicting touring schedules would keep them apart over the next year,” a source says.

Just last month, Sean joined Grande on stage at her Detroit concert. The two performed a couple of songs together and shared a kiss.

Grande and Sean had been dating since August 2014, but only confirmed they were a couple this past October.
