Ariana Grande shocked (and excited) fans this morning (May 21) when she shared a photo of her ex-boyfriend Jai Brooks. Could there be some rekindled love in the air?

The 20-year-old singer began dating Jai, a member of Aussie group the Janoskians, in 2012 and kept it going for nearly a year before hitting splitsville in summer of 2013. Ariana began seeing the Wanted’s Nathan Sykes shortly after, but their romance was brief and ended on friendly terms.

There were rumors and some pretty solid evidence that the ‘Problem’ star and her old flame might reunite — getting caught kissing at the iHeartRadio Music Awards was a pretty big giveaway — but the pair kept quiet about their relationship up until recently.

Ariana shared the Insta photo captioned with three emojis: a girl, a chat bubble and a boy. Could she be hinting at the two of them talking again?

Earlier this week, Jai dropped some hints of his own when he spoke with Sugarscape about the hardships of dating Ariana when the two of them are away so often. “Last year when I was on tour it was pretty hard, but it’s all worth it,” Jai said. “It’s easy to control myself around other girls, I don’t have any difficulty doing that. But it is hard at times because we miss each other.”

Aw, that’s totally understandable! We hope these two lovebirds can find a way to make it work this time around.
