Ariana Grande has opened up about her split from The Wanted star Nathan Sykes.

The singer is thought to have parted ways with Nathan last month, but has not addressed their break up… until now!

During an interview on DJ Showbiz Shell, the 20-year old confirmed that she parted ways with Nathan a "while ago" but was keen to add that the split was mutual.

Grande said: "We broke up a little while ago, but he's a really good friend.

"He's so talented. I am so glad to have met him and have a friend like him in my life. He's an amazing person. It was very civil. It was mutual."

She added: "He's such a great person. I adore him and he's so talented."

Since ending her relationship with Nathan, Ariana has been romantically linked to Entourage actor Adrian Grenier - with the star denying the rumours on Twitter, writing: "Who the hell is that? Lmao I'm sure he's lovely."
