Ariana Grande just dropped her collab “Boyfriend” with Social House‘s Mikey Foster on Aug. 2 and it is all kinds of hot. They play star-crossed lovers fighting off an obvious crush who finally come together for an epic make out at the end of the music video. Now they’re reportedly dating. “They’re seriously enjoying each other’s company, and have quietly been elevating their relationship. However, they are far from boyfriend/girlfriend…and are apparently just feeling things out”, The Blast reports. We’ve got five thing to know about Mikey.

1. Mikey is one half of the performing and songwriting duo Social House.

He along with Charles “Scootie” Anderson make up the group. They’ve been Ariana Grande’s opener on her Sweetener tour. They named their act after the WiFi handle for the creative group home they first lived in when they moved to L.A.
