**Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Split After Three Years Together**
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship after nearly three years, according to multiple sources. The couple, who met while filming the highly anticipated adaptation of the musical "Wicked," separated several months ago in what has been described as a "quiet" and "amicable" manner.
Sources close to the couple informed US magazine People that Grande and Slater took time to consider their relationship before deciding to part ways. "They gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," the source stated. Despite their separation, the pair remains on friendly terms and continues to support one another.
Grande, 32, and Slater, 34, first crossed paths in 2023 while working on the film in the UK. Grande took on the role of Glinda, the good witch, while Slater portrayed Boq Woodsman, a character who eventually transforms into the Tin Man. The couple made their relationship public in 2024 when they shared their first Instagram post together. They were seen together at various promotional events for the film and its sequel, "Wicked: For Good."
Both Grande and Slater finalized their divorces from their previous partners during their time together, which has added a layer of complexity to their relationship. The couple was also spotted at high-profile events, including the Oscars in 2025, where they celebrated their respective achievements in the entertainment industry.
Grande recently kicked off her long-awaited "Eternal Sunshine" tour, her first tour since 2019. This tour comes three years after the release of her album "Eternal Sunshine" and is set to precede the launch of her upcoming album "Petal," which is scheduled to be released next month. The new album has already been teased with the release of the single "Hate That I Made You Love Me."
In addition to her music career, Grande has made significant strides in acting, receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the first "Wicked" film. Slater, who has also made a name for himself in the industry, was nominated for a Tony Award for his Broadway debut in "SpongeBob SquarePants" and received accolades alongside the ensemble cast of "Wicked."
As both artists continue to pursue their careers, fans are left to reflect on their brief but impactful relationship. While Grande's focus appears to be shifting back towards music, she has indicated that this tour may be her last for a "long time," suggesting a potential hiatus from live performances.
As of now, representatives for both Grande and Slater have not commented on the status of their relationship.
