“Their engagement is off, but they still plan on spending time together,” a source close to Grande tells PEOPLE. “It’s not like they split and never plan on seeing each other again. They just decided to slow things down.”
Much of the struggle for Grande came from the ceremony itself, the insider adds. “She realized that planning a wedding right now felt very rushed. It’s not what she wants to do right now. She doesn’t want to make any rushed decisions and has decided to take a step back instead.”
