Ariana Grande, Jai Brooks Break Up RUMORS [UPDATE]: Twitter Fan Support Following Split Helps 'The Way' Singer and Janoskians Member Cope
It's been several days since the news hit that "The Way" singer Ariana Grande and her Janoskians boyfriend Jai Brooks may have called it quits. Though the news hasn't been officially confirmed -- Grande is refusing questions regarding boys or her relationship -- the former couple have continued to air out their feelings on Twitter and thank their dedicates fanbases for the outpour of support.
After thanking fans for support on Friday and early in the day Saturday (Aug. 17), Grande seemed to be slightly troubled on her Twitter feed in the wee hours of Aug. 18, tweeting simply: "Can't Sleep :(." Though it seems as though Grande may be distressed due to the recent split, her fans have come out with extreme amounts of love, which certainly seem to cheer the "Sam & Cat" star up.
At a concert in Lowell, Massachusetts, last night, fans held up supportive signs, which apparently brought Grande to tears... but the grateful kind.

Meanwhile, Brooks seems to be taking the break up in a similar style. "One of those days where you just don't want to do anything," he wrote to his 1+ million Twitter followers. Just three hours later, though, it seems as though the love was coming his way as well, and Brooks mood was turned around. He simply expressed his thankfulness with "f**k i love you guys."
News first broke of the couple's split on Friday, when watchful Twitter fans noticed that Grande wasn't seeing fans, refused to talk about boys and deleted Tumblr posts about Brooks, among other things. The supportive hashtag #ArianaWeAreHereForYou became a viral trending topic on Twitter, and eventually Grande's mother Joan and the singer herself thanked fans for their loving message.
There is no rumored reason for the break up.
Grande and Brooks had dated once before but started seeing each other again in March.
