Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater Split: Amicable Breakup to Last?

Pop superstar Ariana Grande and Wicked co-star Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship, with sources indicating the split occurred after nearly three years together. While the separation is being described as amicable, insiders close to the couple are reportedly skeptical about its permanence, citing past rumors of an on-again, off-again dynamic.

Grande and Slater met while filming the "Wicked" movies, which wrapped up in January 2024. Their relationship allegedly began in July 2023, shortly after news of Grande's divorce from Dalton Gomez surfaced. Slater's divorce from his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a son, was also initiated around this time in July 2023.

Both artists are currently focused on significant career endeavors. Ariana Grande recently began her "Eternal Sunshine Tour" in Oakland, California, on June 6, with plans for 41 arena shows across North America and London. She also has a new album, "Petal," slated for release on July 31, and an upcoming role in the film "Focker-In-Law," scheduled for a November 25 release in 2026.

Ethan Slater has also been active professionally, recently concluding a run in his off-Broadway play "Marcel on the Train." He is also set to appear in "The Boys" prequel series, "Vought Rising," scheduled to premiere next year. As their careers flourish, the status of Grande and Slater's relationship remains a subject of ongoing public interest.
