The two have continued to work together randomly like when Gillies appeared in Grande’s "Thank You, Next" music video in 2019. Gillies spoke highly of the singer to PEOPLE a few years back.

“We're totally close. She's like blood to me, she's like my sister. So, unless we have a massive falling out, nothing will be happening there,” insists the Dynasty actress. “We lived together; I've known her since what feels like the beginning of time.”
