Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater are reportedly moving toward the next steps in their relationship. The singer and the theater star are allegedly discussing the topics of marriage and starting a family. The couple met on set in 2022 while they were both married to other people. Grande and her then-husband Dalton Gomez split in early 2023. Meanwhile, Slater and his wife Lilly Jay, whom he shares a daughter with, also separated that year. Following their divorces and the news of their romance, both Ariana and Ethan have been under fire amid the speculation that they had an affair.
Despite all of the backlash and gossip that the couple have received, they’re still reportedly looking to find their happy ending together. Now, they may be ready to take the plunge again as 2025 draws near. Fans will certainly be on the lookout to see if Grande starts sporting a diamond on her hand in the coming weeks.
According to Life and Style Magazine, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have been having a lot of talks about what their future children could look like. She’s also allegedly been dropping hints that she wants to tie the knot soon and is expecting an engagement ring. Perhaps wedding bells will ring for the couple in the new year.
Ariana Grande Ready to Marry Ethan Slater
“Ariana is madly in love and very eager to marry Ethan. It’s just a matter of timing it right,” an insider dished. “His divorce was finalized [in September], so he’s free to marry her and they’ve both been talking quite openly about how they plan to spend forever together.
She’s talking about their future kids a lot,” the source added. “So that’s something that will likely happen before long as well. [Ethan] does have a child already so she’s had the chance to try out the stepmom role and she says she loves it.”
Meanwhile, sources claim that there could be a more pressing issue that Slater and Grande need to address before talking about marriage. The Daily Mail reports that Ethan has grown concerned about Ariana as rumors about her health are heating up. Recently, the former Nickelodeon star has sparked fears among fans who believe that she’s lost too much weight and is looking sickly.
For his part, Slater is said to be worried about his girlfriend’s health. However, he feels powerless to help her.
“Everybody is so focused on this movie when Ariana clearly needs help,” an informant stated. “Ethan is concerned for her but feels helpless.”
Since stepping out with her slimmer look, Ariana Grande has drawn comparisons to the likes of former stars such as Audrey Hepburn and Karen Carpenter. Fans are worried about her health and have even expressed concern for her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo as well.
Fans are Worried about Ariana Grande’s Health
“I have felt for a while that she looks unwell. It’s worrying because she is a role model for young girls,” one person commented.
“It’s disturbing,” said another.
“Don’t tell me that she’s fine, there’s something physically or mentally wrong with her. She’s all skin and bones,” a third comment read.
Neither Ariana Grande nor Ethan Slater have publicly spoken out about the health concerns surrounding the singer. However, her fans are hoping that whatever is happening will be remedied in the near future. Of course, they wish her health and happiness in 2025. Whether that means a wedding, a child, or a new health journey.
