Ariana Grande’s new alleged boyfriend, Ethan Slater, has filed for divorce from his wife.
Grande and Slater met while working on the Wicked set a few months back and sources have revealed that the pair have since been dating.
A source told ET Online: “Ariana and Ethan recently started dating. They have a lot in common and have a lot of fun.
“They didn’t start dating until both were broken up with their significant others. Ariana and Dalton remain friends.”
When the ensemble went out in London in March to celebrate Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar victory, the duo, who met on the Wicked movie set, were seen getting cozy with one another.
Since their alleged relationship was made public, Slater has made his Instagram account private.
It was recently announced that Ariana Grande, and her spouse of 2 years, Dalton Gomez, split in January, prompting rumours of her potential new romance.
“They came to the decision together,” a source told Page Six. “They were having problems before January, but they want to remain best friends.”
In an attempt to salvage their marriage, Gomez allegedly paid the singer a visit on the Wicked set. Despite his efforts, it just “didn’t work out.”
“They’ve been really good friends throughout the entire process, and their friends and families have been trying to protect them.”
“Ariana and Dalton separated in January,” another insider told PEOPLE. “She and Ethan recently began dating.”
“Ari has nothing but kind words to say about Dalton. During their marriage, he was her No. 1 fan,” the source added.
In addition, Slater recently broke up from his wife and high school sweetheart, singer Lilly Jay, who he married in 2018 and welcomed a child with last year.
TMZ have now confirmed that they have obtained documents proving the pair have filed for divorce. It is still unknown the reasons listed for the split.
Slater sent Jay a tribute on his Instagram in November 2022 in honour of their tenth anniversary.
He wrote: “My best friend. 4 years married, 10 years together. And this is easily the best (and most *bizarre*) year yet.”
They were married in 2018 and announced their pregnancy with a photo of a onesie that said “Wicked Cute” in January of this year.
“Super vague post, but we have a baby now,” he wrote in the caption.
