Ariana Grande giving Ethan Slater space to work on relationship with estranged wife

Ariana Grande is reportedly giving her rumored boyfriend Ethan Slater some time and room to fix things with his estranged wife, with whom he shares a son.

According to entertainment outlet TMZ, sources said the hit singer has not seen the Broadway star for weeks now. They, however, noted that the two are still “100% dating.”

Ethan reportedly filed for divorce from Lilly Jay last week, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ. They tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their son in August 2022.

The divorce news came after he sparked dating rumors with Ariana on July 20. Insiders said their romance began while filming Wicked in England.

Lilly broke her silence about their split just recently, saying that the singer is “not a girl’s girl.”

“[Ariana’s] the story, really. Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage,” she told entertainment portal Page Six.

Ariana was previously married to real estate broker Dalton Gomez. They started dating in January 2020 and got engaged 11 months later. Their separation was reported two years after their May 2021 wedding.
