Ariana Grande and her rumoured boyfriend Big Sean were spotted holding hands as they left the Saturday Night Live after party over the weekend.

The Break Free singer opted for a sneaky side exit as she left the Tavern on the Green in New York, though was soon seen by fans who were far more excited about seeing her than Big Sean!

Breaking away from her PDA, the pop princess hung around and took pics with the waiting fans, even letting one or two sneak in a cheeky kiss.

Ariana has previously hit back at negative press she has received, that claimed she's a 'diva'.

"Sooner or later ppl will realize that what u put out is what u get back. the lies/hate etc. give love & I promise life will treat u better," she recently tweeted.

"I've said this before but I promise it's true. what u focus on expands. what u put out, u get back. live for love & your life will be pretty."
