Although fans didn’t see Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s relationship coming, the couple has proved they’re in it for the long haul. Eight months after the news first broke, they were an item, and the Wicked stars are still going strong. In fact, it seems they’re doing better than ever. According to Entertainment Tonight, Grande and Slater have been “getting more serious” these days. They’re apparently so in love that they’re already thinking about their future together.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s Relationship Is Getting “Serious”
Slater is Grande’s first boyfriend since her separation from Dalton Gomez. The singer and real estate agent got married in May 2021. After less than two years of being husband and wife, Grande and Gomez secretly split in February 2023. The Victorious actress then began dating Slater, whom she met months prior on the set of Wicked. It’s unclear when Grande and Slater officially became a couple. However, they first became romantically linked in July, which was the same month Slater filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay.
Despite having been together less than a year, Grande and Slater are rumored to be “serious.” An insider told Entertainment Tonight that the Wicked co-stars are excited about “everything that’s in store for them as a couple and as individuals.”
The source added that Slater has been a super supportive boyfriend for Grande these past few months. He has especially been her biggest cheerleader amid her latest album release. On Friday, March 8, Grande dropped Eternal Sunshine, which is rumored to have been inspired by her split from Gomez, as well as her new relationship with Slater.
Ariana is feeling great in general and super proud of her new album. Ethan has been by her side, supporting her both personally and professionally.
