Ariana Grande Boyfriend RUMORS: The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, 'The Way' Singer's Father Chat on Twitter, Relationship Between 'Almost Is Never Enough' Duo Still Just Friendly?

Though Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes of The Wanted have been coy about their possible relationship, it seems as though all signs point to the fact that, yes, they are a couple.

Though Grande has more or less denied that the item are a pair on Twitter and remained vague about the status of their relationship in a radio interview, some recent Twitter messages between Sykes and Grande's father, Edward Butera, imply that Sykes is now the main man in "The Way" singer's life.

On Sept. 3, Butera tweeted a VERY fatherly message to the 20-year-old Sykes, saying "@NathanTheWanted - Nat. Be nice to my daughter please - maybe someday I can meet you. Do you fish? Her Daddy." Instead of being weirded out by a friend's father, Sykes replied in a very courteous way, saying, "@CaptainEddieB I promise I will be nothing but the best :) I love a bit of fishing every now and then! Looking forward to meeting you :)"

Later, Butera covered his tracks about the status of Grande and Sykes' relationship, but it could always just be a protective father.

Btw my daughter & Nat are just friends, I never said they were dating, peace tweeps.
