Ariana Grande’s love life is making headlines again – but what’s really going on with her partner?
Ariana Grande is finally back with new music. In May, she released a new song called “hate that I made you love me”, followed by a sold-out world tour. But it seems like her new music is not inspired by her boyfriend of three years, Ethan Slater, as reports indicate that the couple has recently split up.
An Amicable Split
According to TMZ, the celebrity couple has broken up after a period of “careful consideration.” Sources claim that the split actually already happened a while ago. There is no bad blood between them, though. The breakup was “amicable”, and the two still share a close friendship.
The couple met on the set of “Wicked”, a blockbuster musical film in which Ariana played the good witch “Glinda”. They went public with their relationship in 2023 after both had split from their then-partners, Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay. The two did not start dating before their previous marriages had ended. In the months after the divorce, Ariana and Ethan were seen together on several occasions, such as a trip to Disneyland, and reportedly even shared a home in New York City.
The relationship lasted for three years, and both seemed to take it very seriously. Recently, Ethan has been absent from Ariana’s “Eternal Sunshine” tour, which started last weekend in Oakland, CA. So far, the breakup hasn’t been confirmed by the couple personally, but many newspapers claim that it has happened.
Ariana And Her “Homewrecker” Reputation
Throughout her career, Ariana Grande has gained the reputation of being a “homewrecker”. People on the internet have called her out for repeatedly going after men who were already taken, painting a picture of an overly seductive woman irresistible to men. But the truth is that Ethan Slater, who left his wife and newborn for her, did have a say in the matter. It is strange to put all responsibility on Ariana, as if an adult man couldn’t make his own decisions.
Ariana’s “Eternal Sunshine” tour is her first since 2019 and is widely anticipated by fans all across the globe. Her new album “Petal” will drop on 31 July. So far, we don’t know who her new songs were inspired by.
