She removed all of her wedding photos from Instagram"Sadly, with Ariana Grande's removal of images, this isn't for an album launch or a political stance, but a hint that the relationship has come to an end. Most couples have to go through the awkward moment of changing their couples image to one of themselves on social, as well as changing their relationship status, but it is significantly more noticeable if we had close to the 377 million followers Ariana Grande has on Instagram," he told us.

Tom added that although the move has made the split more obvious, the fact that neither party has reacted with a "spiteful post" speaks volumes.
"While nothing has been directly confirmed in public, it certainly looks like a clear indication, following on from the removal of the wedding ring at Wimbledon. They're supposedly still very close, hence why you may not see something done out of spite or a reactive post at all, it looks like they want to end it on solid terms," he said.
