“Her entire family is in shock too. They all grew close to Mac during his relationship with Ari,” the insider adds. “He was a huge part of her life, and they always shared such a special bond. She wanted nothing but positivity in Mac’s life after they broke up.”
Another insider close to Grande told Entertainment Tonight that she was “devastated” when she heard the news, adding:
“Although the two ended their relationship, Ariana always shared a deep connection with Mac and wanted nothing but the best for him. Ariana is very upset … Despite their split, Ariana had always been supportive of his sobriety.”
Yesterday the 24-year-old shared a photo via Instagram to express her grief over her ex-boyfriend of almost two years’ passing.
When it was first reported that Miller had passed away, Grande’s social media was flooded with hate from trolls who blamed her for his untimely death.
The singer disabled comments on her Instagram photos so that the trolls could no longer post hateful remarks.
Before comments were shut down, a quick scan of Grande’s Instagram revealed some pretty upsetting stuff, with remarks like “you lowkey evil” and “it’s your fault”.

Before his death, Miller spoke positively of her engagement to comedian Pete Davidson, saying: “The whole thing is a little strange but it’s not negative […] I am happy for her and moving forward with her life just as I’m sure she is with me.”
