Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes remained friends despite their breakup. The "Love Me Harder" singer's association to the former The Wanted member has sparked rumors that it has contributed to her recent split with Big Sean.

In a recent interview with Wonderwall, it was revealed that Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes still talk to each other frequently. The British crooner noted that long distance was the reason behind their parting ways.

Meanwhile, scheduling conflicts were cited as reasons for Ariana Grande and Big Sean's breakup. However, even if they have released a joint statement, an insider claimed that the "IDFWU" rapper is feeling down because of various reasons.

"He's really angry because when he broke up with Ariana, she didn't put up a fight. She pretty much told Big Sean that she's the one who wanted to break up," said the source to Hollywood Life.

The source went on to say that the rapper felt bad that the "Bang Bang" songstress appeared to have moved on quickly even if they dated for almost a year.

The source said, "He's also pissed off that she's seemingly already over him."

Another TMZ tipster revealed that while hectic schedules has played a role in the breakup, it was the former Nickelodeon star's "immaturity" which ultimately ended the romance.

As per the insider, the couple started having problems when the "Sam & Cat" actress ditched her beau's significant show in West Hollywood last February. The brunette beauty was so focused on her appearance at the Grammy's the next day that she allegedly dismissed Big Sean's performance even if all of his staff members were there.

It was likewise reported that Ariana Grande might have intentionally asked Justin Bieber to hug her onstage in order to make Big Sean jealous. The rapper indeed found out and posted an angry rant aimed towards the Canadian singer.

Fans are now left wondering if Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes will get back together. When the two broke up, Ariana Grande got back with her ex Jai Brooks before finally dating Big Sean.
