Ariana Grande may have claimed she has "one less problem" without a man by her side, but it seems like she now has a new boyfriend. Last night (Aug. 24) at the 2014 MTV VMAs, the "Break Free" singer was spotted backstage holding hands with her frequent collaborator and rumored boyfriend Big Sean, igniting further rumors that the rising music stars are an item.
In a quick video cut during last night's MTV broadcast, Grande and Sean could be seen clutching each other's hand backstage.
To further spread the big dating rumor, MTV News posted a short Instagram clip of the possible couple backstage. After taking home her Moonman for Best Pop Video, Grande can be seen walking backstage and stumbling ever so slightly in her sky high heels. Sean then instinctively grabs for Grande, and the two proceed to hold hands the rest of the way down the hall.

The hand holding incident is being seen as Grande and Sean's sort of dating confirmation. Earlier this month, rumors began swirling that the two were a couple after the two were spotted making out at the movies, according to The Huffington Post.
When asked whether or not she was dating Big Sean, Grande has dodged the question in recent interviews.
Grande and Sean are noted collaborators, working together on her Yours Truly single "Right There" and My Everything tracks "Problem" and "Best Mistake."
The probably coupling of Grande and Sean comes after two big breakups for the musicians. Grande and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Jai Brooks of The Janoskians split (again) last month following the death of Grande's beloved grandfather. And Big Sean and Glee actress notoriously called off their engagement in April.
