She met Graham when the two were teenagers starring in Broadway musical 13 that year. The pair dated for three years, before calling it quits in 2011. Since then, they've been on friendly terms, with Graham attending a few of Ari's concerts.

If Graham looks familiar, it's probably because he plays Nick St. ClairVeronica's exon Riverdale.

After cancelling his wedding to Glee star Naya Rivera, Big Sean and Ariana began dating in 2014, making their couple debut on the red carpet of the MTV VMAs.

After breaking up, their reps told Us Weekly in a statement: "They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends. We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time."

Diehard Ari fans will remember her 'ship with backup dancer Ricky Alvarez from the infamous #Doughnutgate video, in which Ari licked fresh doughnuts at a California bakery. In the video, he can be seen egging her on.

Still, they parted on good terms. "She broke up with him. He didn't cheat or anything, they just found it difficult to make it work. They are still friends though," a source told E! News .

Ari met rapper Mac Miller in 2012, and they were collaborators and friends for a long time before they started dating. Their romance was confirmed in August 2016, after they were seen kissing at Katsu-Ya restaurant in Encino, California, per iHeartRadio .

"Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet Malcolm McCormick," Ariana wrote in her Instagram Stories following their breakup in the spring of 2018. "I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us! Unconditional love is not selfish. It is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment, it's not you."

The day after his death on September 7, 2018, she posted a tribute to the rapper. It was a simple black and white photo of Mac looking up at her.

Most recently, on January 19, 2020what would've been Mac's 28th birthdayshe shared a never-before-seen video of him on her Instagram.

Not long after breaking up with Mac, Ari met stand-up comedian and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson at one of SNL's after-parties in 2018. They started dating immediately, and were often vocal about their love for one another.

After a few weeks, they got engaged, and spent the summer attending events together. By October 2018, however, the engagement was off and so was Ariana's tattoo of Pete . But there's still a song called "pete davidson" on Ariana's album Sweetener.
