Miller had dated Grande dated for almost two years before splitting in May, with the singer becoming engaged to comedian Pete Davidson just a month later.

“It’s strange. Like, the whole thing is a little strange but it’s not negative,” Miller told Zane Lowe in August.
“It’s just a part of something that’s going to continue to help make me who I am. You know, it’s all positive energy.
“I am happy for her and moving forward with her life just as I’m sure she is with me.”
