The news came ahead of Grande’s planned “extensive break” from the public eye. A rep told PEOPLE on Aug. 2 that she will be “taking a step back from visibility” after her Eternal Sunshine Tour concluded on Sept. 1, and the promotion of her latest film, Focker-in-Law, out in theaters on Nov. 25.

“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” the rep added at the time. “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”

Ahead of her break, she remains “committed” to promoting the upcoming film, which she is “very proud” of, a source told PEOPLE in September.
