Ariana Grande has confirmed that she is dating Big Sean.

The 'Problem' singer was first linked to the hip hop star, real name Sean Anderson, over the summer. 

In an interview with the Telegraph Magazine, Grande acknowledged the relationship, describing the 26-year-old as "amazing". 

"He is one of the most amazing men in the whole world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother," she said. "I think the world of him, and he's an amazing person. That's kind of all there is to it."

The pair worked together on the track 'Best Mistake', which features on Grande's new album My Everything. 

Grande previously dated The Janoskians star Jai Brooks, but the couple split for a second time this summer. 

Big Sean split from Glee star Naya Rivera in April, ending their six-month engagement.
