Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Split After Three Years of Dating
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship after approximately three years of dating. The pair met on the set of the Wicked movie adaptation, where Grande played Glinda and Slater played Boq. The split comes shortly before Grande's Eternal Sunshine Tour and marks the end of a relationship that began while both were still married to other people.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly split after three years together, according to multiple entertainment news sources. The two met while filming the Wicked movie in December 2022, when Grande was cast as Glinda and Slater joined the cast as Boq. Both were legally married to other people at the time—Grande to Dalton Gomez and Slater to Lilly Jay—but reportedly became a couple months after filming began. Grande had previously defended their relationship against tabloid scrutiny. The breakup occurs shortly before Grande's Eternal Sunshine Tour launch. While the exact timing and circumstances of the split remain unclear from available reports, the separation marks a significant development in both their personal lives.
What's missing
Most coverage does not clarify the current status or statements from either Grande or Slater regarding the split, nor do they explain what prompted the public disclosure of the breakup at this particular time. Additionally, limited information is provided about how this may affect the upcoming Wicked film releases or promotional activities.
How coverage differed
Business Insider provided extensive timeline details and emphasized the controversial circumstances of how the relationship began (both being married to others at the time), while BBC's briefer coverage focused primarily on the split itself and Grande's Oscar nomination. The framing reflects different editorial priorities regarding relationship context versus headline-focused reporting.
