Ariana Grande, Boyfriend Jai Brooks Breakup: 'Bang Bang' Singer and Janoskians Beau Split Following Grandfather's Death

She's got one less "Problem" without him. New reports are circulating that Ariana Grande and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Jai Brooks are once again off.

According to E! Online, Grande and Brooks split last month following the death of the "Break Free" singer's beloved grandfather. Reportedly Brooks was not as supportive as Grande as she wanted during the hard time.

"When her grandfather was dying, everyone was there for her. People flew to Florida to be with her, but Jai didn't," a source told E!. "Ariana just felt he wasn't there like he should have been."

The news of the split has since been ignited even further by a semi-vague tweet Grande posted yesterday (Aug. 4).

Grande followed up the screen captured tweet with this message: "a lil vague but my loves know me well & I love u so so so much. here for me thru the good & the bad. that's real! I appreciate u."

The supposed break up of Brooks and Grande is just their latest. The couple originally dated from August 2012 to July 2013, before breaking up due to rumors that Grande had been seeing The Wanted's Nathan Sykes behind Brooks' back.

Grande and Brooks then reunited at the iHeartRadio Awards in May before splitting again last month.

Though Grande is one of music's biggest rising stars at the moment with two sizzling summer singles ("Problem," "Bang Bang"), Brooks is a much less known star. He's best known for being a member of the YouTube comedy troupe the Janoskians.
