In a twist that has left fans buzzing, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly called it quits after nearly three years of a whirlwind romance. The couple, who first crossed paths on the set of the highly anticipated musical Wicked, decided to end their relationship “several months ago,” according to a source close to the duo.
“It’s amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,” the insider spilled to People. It seems that even in heartbreak, the pair remains on good terms, with the source adding, “They are still friends and very supportive of one another.” How mature, right?
Grande, now 32, and Slater, who gained fame from his role in the SpongeBob SquarePants musical, made their relationship public in 2024, just as they were finalizing divorces from their previous partners—Grande from real estate agent Dalton Gomez, and Slater from clinical psychologist Lilly Jay. Talk about a dramatic love story!
As for Ariana, she’s not letting this breakup slow her down. She kicked off her much-anticipated ‘Eternal Sunshine Tour’ in California over the weekend, with plans to hit the iconic O2 Arena in London this August and September. And let’s not forget her new single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which is currently dominating the UK charts. Clearly, she’s channeling her heartbreak into chart-topping hits!
Meanwhile, Ethan is gearing up for his own spotlight moment, set to reprise his role as Thomas Godolkin in Prime Video’s latest spinoff of The Boys, titled Vought Rising, expected to premiere in 2027. So, it looks like both stars are ready to shine solo.
In a world where love can be fleeting, Ariana and Ethan’s split is a reminder that sometimes, even the most magical connections can come to an end. But hey, at least they’re keeping it classy and supportive. Here’s hoping for the best for both of them as they navigate this new chapter in their lives!
