It's official: Ariana Grande and Big Sean are a couple!

Despite plenty of evidence that the twosome are more than just friends, the 21-year-old singer has finally confirmed her relationship status with the famous rapper.

"Yes," Grande replied when asked by Telegraph magazine if it's true she's dating Big Sean. "He is one of the most amazing men in the world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother."

What a compliment!

She adds, "I think the world of him, and he's an amazing person. That's kind of all there is to it."

Reports that the talented performers were an item started back in August when the couple finished working on several songs together including "Problem" and "Best Mistake."

"They have been friends since they made the song together," a source told E! News when the rumors first started. "They have been spending more time together and recently have been getting very close. They are both doing great."

Whether they wanted to or not, the twosome quickly added smoke to the fire when they were caught holding hands backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Even with video proof, Grande remained mum on her relationship status.

"I mean, I guess, curiosity man, it'll kill you," she told Ryan Seacrest just days after the footage surfaced. "I don't know what to say, Ryan. Why are you doing this to me?"

Now that they're super official, fans can expect a lot more compliments and romance from the twosome.

"That Ariana is very, very special. She's very special to me," Big Sean recently shared during a visit to On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "Everything she has going on is good with her, everything I have going on is good with me, everything between me and her is good, and I'm just going to leave it at that."

Something tells us this romance is only just beginning. Best of luck, you two!
