Ariana Grande and her partner, Ethan Slater, have made headlines recently as reports claim trouble in paradise. However, according to reports, the couple’s relationship has allegedly become toxic, and their wedding plans have been called off. In a statement to The Daily Mail, an insider said:
“Ariana and Ethan have been on and off for most of this year. He chose not to attend the MTV VMAs with her because they’d had an argument just days before. But they made up soon after. They’ve both been running hot and cold with each other.”
The source also said:
“At one time, they discussed marriage, but that is no longer on the table. They fell head over heels in love when they first h**ked up. But those days are over.”
The news of Grande dating Slater first surfaced in July 2023, as per an exclusive story by TMZ. At the time, the two actors were going through their respective separations from their spouses. The same month, some issues arose between Ethan Slater and his ex-wife, Lily Jay, due to which Ariana Grande gave him some time to figure out, Cosmopolitan notes.
In September 2023, the couple was spotted in Disneyland. Someone shared a statement with The Daily Mail, saying:
“They went with a big group of friends including Ariana’s mom and brother. They are really happy and really good for each other. All of her friends love him.”
Later that year, they attended a show of Gutenberg! The Musical!
More about what Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande previously said
In February 2024, during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show, Ariana Grande commented about public speculation. She said people often forgot that gossip magazines treated people, especially women, unfairly. She explained that people only cared about kindness and understanding when it suited them. They were nice to people they liked, but ignored that fairness when it came to someone they already judged based on their own ideas.
In June 2024, Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande were spotted together at the Stanley Cup. A source told Entertainment Tonight that:
“Ariana is genuinely so happy with Ethan. She feels very comfortable with him and is in love. Their relationship is serious, and their bond is organic. Ethan treats Ariana super well and knows her so well.”
Later that year, Ariana Grande seemingly defended Ethan Slater after he was accused of cheating on his ex-wife. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she said:
“There couldn’t be a less accurate depiction of a human being than the one that the tabloids spread about him. There is no one on this earth with a better heart, and that is something that no bullsh*t tabloid can rewrite in real life.”
Ethan Slater also seemingly discussed his relationship in an interview with GQ. He said that many personal changes were happening in his life, and it was difficult to watch people who knew nothing about the situation make guesses and say wrong things about the people he cared about.
