28 june 2024 в 02:13
The boy. The singer of «thank u, next» feels good in a relationship with actor Ethan Slater.
The couple met during the filming of the upcoming two-part musical «Sinister Mercy». At that time, both were married to their spouses — Ariana was with her now ex-husband Dalton Gomez, and Ethan was with his wife Lilly Jay. Us confirmed in June 2023 that Grande started dating Slater after quietly breaking up with Gomez, 28. Slater, meanwhile, is going through his own divorce proceedings with Lilly Jay, with whom he has a baby.
Despite the external chaos that followed the sudden end of two marriages, the Grande family fully supports the current status of the couple. The singer’s 41-year-old brother, Frankie, said he has been following Ethan’s career for a long time. «I love him, he’s a very nice guy. I’ve been a fan of his since I saw him in the musical 'SpongeBob'», - he told Too Fab. «And I had the opportunity to interview him when I did the podcast 'SpongeBob SquarePants'. And the Broadway community is a close-knit family».
A source added in a conversation with US Weekly: «[Ariana] remains herself with Ethan… It’s not superficial, but rather intellectual and emotional». The source continues, sharing that Grande is satisfied in her relationship.
«They are a bit quirky and both are theater fans at heart. She loves that about him. It’s mutual», - a second source told Us in November 2023. «Their relationship is flourishing. It’s easy and drama-free».
However, the statement about «zero drama» seemed untrue when Nickelodeon’s 2024 album, «Eternal Happiness», - was released, which many assume is dedicated to her breakup with Dalton and her budding relationship with Ethan.
«Singing a song called 'The Boy' is not only a slap in the face to his still wife Lilly, but to all women», - Daily Mail reported. «As Lilly said from the beginning, Ariana is not a girl’s friend, and Ethan’s family became collateral damage. Ariana basically rubbed it in Lilly’s face that she stole Ethan from Lilly, and then asks her fans not to interpret her song incorrectly. This is not an interpretation. These are her literal words»
