Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Reportedly Split After 3 Years Together
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship after nearly three years together.
TMZ broke the news on Monday, June 8, reporting that the couple quietly split several months ago.
Sources told the outlet that the breakup was amicable and that Grande and Slater remain friends who are "very supportive" of one another. According to the report, the pair gave the decision "careful consideration" before ultimately deciding to end their relationship.
Grande's upcoming album, Petal, set for release on July 31, is reportedly not about either her relationship with Slater or their breakup.

Grande and Slater first met while filming Wicked in 2022, and news of their relationship became public in July 2023. At the time, the couple faced intense public scrutiny, as both had recently separated from their respective spouses, Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay. Slater also shares a 3-year-old son with Jay.
However, sources close to the pair told TMZ back in 2023 that they did not begin dating until after both marriages had ended.
Grande and Slater have been the subject of breakup speculation before, namely during the Wicked: For Good press tour last fall, but neither publicly addressed those rumors, either.

Neither Grande nor Slater has publicly commented on the alleged breakup.
