Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship after almost three years together.
According to multiple outlets, the former couple — who met on the set of the 2024 musical blockbuster Wicked — quietly called it quits several months ago.
"It's amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," a source told People. "They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months."
The Thank U, Next singer, 32, and SpongeBob SquarePants actor, 34, had been linked since 2023. They made their relationship Instagram-official in 2024 in the lead-up to the release of Wicked, in which Grande starred as G(a)linda the Good while Slater portrayed Munchkin and future-Tin Man Boq.
Their dating rumours were scrutinised at the time because Grande and Slater both had highly publicised splits from former spouses around the same time. Grande was previously married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, while Slater had been married to psychologist Lilly Jay, his high-school sweetheart with whom he shares a child.
In March, Slater wrapped the off-Broadway run of Marcel On The Run. In addition to co-writing the play with Marshall Pailet, Slater portrayed mime artist Marcel Marceau.
Grande, meanwhile, embarked on her Eternal Sunshine tour in Oakland on Saturday. This marks the singer's first tour since 2019.
Grande's next album, Petal, will be released July 31. – Los Angeles Times/TNS
