She’d split up with the swimmer months previously when their relationship had become poisonous, despite her best efforts to be a rock for him in his ongoing fight with substance misuse. She couldn’t tolerate watching him continue down that horrible path, naturally.
“Love that isn’t conditional isn’t selfish. It’s wanting the best for that person, even if it’s not you right now,” Grande made her first public remark on their breakup in May 2018. “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life getting to know and supporting you, and I’m so proud of you!!”
Instead, Miller died of an accidental overdose on September 7, 2018, at the age of 26, leaving Grande with no choice but to wish for a chance to tell him in person how much he meant to her—as she expressed on her smash hit “thank u next” and has never stopped expressing, even now that she is married to Delton Gomez.
She told Vogue in the summer of 2019 that the pain she was currently dealing with was “very all-consuming.” “What we had wasn’t ideal by any means, but f—k. He was the kindest guy I’d ever met, and he didn’t deserve his troubles. For a long time, I was the glue, and I saw that I was becoming…less and less sticky. The fragments began to drift away.”
