The thirty-year-old Ariana Grande-Butera is known for her style and age-appropriate and modest look. The singer, actress, and songwriter hardly allows the media to control her public image. She divorced Dalton Gomez in October 2023 but learned a lot from her previous relationships.
Before Dalton, Ariana was in a relationship with Graham Phillips, Nathan Sykes, Mac Miller, and Pete Davidson. She is one of the most influential celebrities on the internet and remains active on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Other celebrities often get inspired by the style of the triple-threat entertainer Ariana.
On the other hand, Malcolm James McCormick, aka Mac Miller, started his career at fifteen, and his lyrics focused on lusting after women, partying, smoking, money, and fame. There was a point when the twenty-six-year-old rapper, songwriter, and record producer consumed a cough syrup with soda to get high.
How Ariana And Mac’s Relationship Blossomed
Mac Miller and Ariana Grande started dating in August 2016, and their relationship lasted two years. However, they have known each other since November 2012, when they had their first Twitter conversation. In March 2013, they teamed up for her debut album’s single, ‘The Way.’ People were excited over the on-screen chemistry depicted in the video.
However, Ariana was in a relationship with Jai Brooks, the YouTube star, in July 2013. On the one hand, Mac praised her publicly for her personality and sweetness. On the other hand, Ariana considered him a great guy, though she did not like the kiss she had from him in ‘The Way.’
The duo again collaborated for a single on Miller’s album, released in September 2016. They got romantic in public. They were spotted getting close at the 2016 MTV VMA Awards and kissing at a restaurant in Encino the same month.
In September 2016, Ariana confirmed their relationship through her Instagram post and Mac through an interview with People. Media personnel spotted them kissing at the US airport in May of the following year amid the Manchester terrorist attack.
Why Did Ariana And Mac Break Up?
Ariana and Mac broke up in May 2018, and the increasing toxicity of their relationship was the reason behind it. Some sources say that they separated due to their busy schedules, and they unfollowed each other on social media.
Mac addressed toxicity as the reason for their break-up in one of his songs. After that, Ariana got a new partner, and Mac found peace in music, promising to change through an Instagram post.
Mac struggled with depression and substance abuse, but Ariana and their friends claimed to have supported him throughout his way to becoming sober. Sobriety is not as easy as it looks because the victim still has to fight with his addiction.
Meanwhile, Mac was charged with crashing his car into a pole under the substance influence, and his fan blamed Ariana for it. She was accused of leaving Mac for another guy. Thus, she stood for herself.
According to Ariana’s tweet, she was in a toxic relationship. She worked and prayed for Mac’s betterment over the years, but it did not work. She does not consider herself his mother or babysitter to tolerate it. She asked the Twitter user not to take a female’s self-respect for granted. Talking about their break-up, Ariana wrote that she prayed for Mac, though they were not together.
After Mac’s Death
Mac became sober, though he was struggling with addiction, and everything seemed fine. Shockingly, she was declared dead on 07 September 2018 due to mixed drug toxicity.
Three men, Cameron James Petit, Stephen Walter, and Ryan Reavis, were arrested in September 2019 for distributing the drugs that resulted in Mac’s death. Mac was charged with crashing into a utility pole in May 2018, but his charges were dropped after his death.
Ariana was visibly devastated. She took some time to come out of the shock and expressed her concern on Instagram. She uploaded a video depicting her and Mac having a dinner.
Ariana began dating Pete Davidson the same month she broke up with Mac. Things went too quickly. The couple engaged in June 2018 and separated in October 2018. Their fans say they rushed for everything, but not were in love. So, things did not work between them.
An insider said Ariana was battling her feelings after Mac’s death and required some time to heal. She knew Mac was not entirely away from substances. According to Pete, Ariana often asked him for suggestions to take Mac out of addiction.
