Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have ended their relationship after three years of dating. According to information released by TMZ, the breakup between the singer and the actor occurred on friendly terms.

Sources close to the artists told TMZ that both maintain a cordial bond and continue to support each other in their respective work commitments.

So far, neither their representatives nor the protagonists themselves have issued public statements on the matter.

Rumors about the estrangement gained strength in recent months due to their intense work schedules.

Speculation intensified recently when Slater avoided answering direct questions about their romance in a television interview, opting instead to praise the overall talent of the cast of “Wicked,” where he worked alongside Grande.

Likewise, the absence of the Tony nominee at the start of the new concert tour that the performer started in Oakland, California caught the attention of the specialized media.

The love story between Grande and Slater began in mid-2023, shortly after both separated from their previous partners, Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay, respectively. The two met and developed their emotional bond during the filming of the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical “Wicked,” directed by Jon M. Chu, where they played the characters of Glinda and Boq.

Those close to the artists also clarified that the recent release of musical material by Ariana Grande has no relationship with this outcome, denying that the lyrics of her new songs are inspired by the breakup.
