Mau5Cat! Is Ariana Grande Dating Deadmau5?

No Big Sean here. Are the pop princess and cranky DJ hooking up or are they not yet hooking up?

Pop singer/human cupcake Ariana Grande has had an incredible year! Her sophomore album, My Everything, debuted at No. 1 after racking up an amazing three Top 5 singles including "Break Free" featuring Zedd. Meanwhile, male DJ/race car driver Deadmau5 released his album, while(1<2) in June with a Top 10 opening week while holding down a residency at Vegas club XS. Now it seems the two are combining their successes for a match made in dance-pop heaven!

While Ariana has been linked to occasional collaborator Big Sean, the two have been careful not to confirm or deny a relationship so as to not disrupt her careful prom queen image. Now we know why. Even as Ariana and Sean were spotted together in Las Vegas for iHeartradio Festival this past weekend, insiders say that Ariana was really hoping for some alone time with her new beau, the tweet-happy DJ Deadmau5.

Despite the 12 year age difference, friends say the two are very happy together, even finding time in their busy touring schedules to Skype. While Deadmau5 has been embroiled in controversy surrounding his legal battles with Disney, Ariana has her own troubled relationship with Disney rival Nickelodeon, the network where she rose to fame as the ditzy but lovable Cat Valentine.

Sorry, Big Sean. We think Mau5Cat is here to stay!
