Ariana Grande is "happy" with her love life.

Asked about her love life on the 'Today' show on Friday morning, she said: "Oh, my goodness! You are putting me on the spot. I'm happy."

The couple appeared to confirm their relationship status last week when they were caught on a behind-the-scenes camera at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) holding hands as they walked down a corridor.

The pair first sparked rumours they were dating earlier this month after they hit it off when they collaborated on Ariana's new catchy track 'Problem.'

A source said previously: "They have been friends since they made the song together. They have been spending more time together and recently have been getting very close. They are both doing great."

Meanwhile, the new couple's romance came as a shock to fans as Big Sean - whose real name is Sean Anderson - only ended his five-month engagement to 'Glee' actress Naya Rivera in April this year.

Ariana also called time on her relationship with Jai Brooks at the beginning of August as he had allegedly been unsupportive after her grandfather's death.
