August 23, 2013 by Lindsay Cronin
The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes and Ariana Grande may be Hollywood’s next hot couple. After working together on Ariana’s upcoming album Yours Truly, the pair struck up a friendship, and now, it is being reported that they are more than just friends.
“It’s very, very new,” an insider reveals to Us Weekly. According to the source, Nathan and Ariana have met on several occasions because of their common connections in the music industry (such as Scooter Braun, seen in the photo above) but didn’t begin their romance until recently.
Although the courtship is new, Nathan is reportedly head over heels for Ariana. “Nate sends her flowers everyday.”
While the pair has yet to confirm the relationship, Ariana recently made it known that she is more impressed with Nathan’s musical talents on their new song.
“Nathan just sang the hell out of it. I thought it was Brian McKnight. I’m like, ‘Who is this?’ Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t know he had that in him,” she told MTV News. “I saw him perform live on one of the radio shows that we were at together, and I was like, ‘Damn, he can sing.’ This song I think will pleasantly surprise a lot of people. It’s very beautiful and very emotional and I love, love, love what Nathan did to it. It was a great, great, great surprise.”
Nathan, who had just had vocal surgery months prior, was just as happy with the track. “I was really nervous. I’ve never been so nervous for a session, and went in and [did] what I like to think is quite possibly the best vocal I’ve ever recorded. I’m really proud of it.”
