Mac Miller and Ariana Grande Kevin Mazur/WireImage Ariana Grande and Mac Miller's relationship will always be one for the books. The exes were friends for years before taking their relationship to the next level. The artists were first linked in 2012 after a flirty Twitter exchange led them to collaborate on a remake of the hit 1944 Christmas song, "Baby It's Cold Outside." The following year, Grande and Miller (real name Malcolm McCormick) linked up again for the two-time Grammy Award winner's single, "The Way," in which they locked lips onscreen.
