Ariana Grande has finally met the man of her dreams after a tough one-year relationship with rapper Big Sean.

In the June issue of Billboard magazine, the 22-year-old Dangerous Woman singer said all is good with backup dancer Ricky Alvarez.

'We’re happy. I’m a very happy girl. I have a healthy life right now, and I think that’s all anyone cares to know. The end,' the beauty said.

The star landed the cover which called her a 'diva.' She was photographed by Joe Pugliese.

The hit maker looked pretty in red lipstick and white Chanel sunglasses. Grande wore a white towel on her head and one around her chest. She was showered in diamond jewelry.

Ariana also talked about the double standard for men and women.

'If you’re going to rave about how sexy a male artist looks with his shirt off and a woman decides to get in her panties or show her boobies for a photo shoot, she needs to be treated with the same awe and admiration.

'I will say it until I’m an old-ass lady with my tits out at Whole Foods. I’ll be in the produce aisle, naked at 95, with a sensible ponytail, one strand of hair left on my head and a Chanel bow. Mark my words. See you there with my 95 dogs.'

As far as staying out of cat fights in the music industry (think Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea), Ariana says she keeps it clean.

No fighting for her: 'If people are fighting, I stay as far away as possible,' she noted. 'I’ve said this a million times: I hate drama'; here she is seen at Wango Tango on Saturday

'If people are fighting, I stay as far away as possible,' she noted.

'I’ve said this a million times: I hate drama.'

Grande then said: 'I love women in the industry. I’m a big fan of all my peers, and I try to keep it a hundred. That’s why I don’t look at anything. I’m like, "My song’s out!" Then I run for the hills. "Here’s another picture of my dogs! Bye!"'

As far as that cat girl on the cover of her new album, Ariana shared: 'Whenever I doubt myself or question choices I know in my gut are right -- because other people are telling me other things -- I’m like, ‘What would that bad bitch Super Bunny do?’ She helps me call the shots.'

And the diva wants to keep going at full throttle.

'I feel like I’m still just getting started - a lot of people forget I’m only three years in,' she said.
