Ariana Grande<\/a> broke down in tears on stage during a recent Los Angeles concert, a week after her split from Ethan Slater<\/a> was confirmed.<\/p>\n

Grande got choked up as the crowd cheered for her, joking, \u201cYou can\u2019t do this to me, because you know what\u2019s going to happen. You know I\u2019m a Cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grande was emotional between songs during the LA show.\u00a0TikTok\/@omg.mj<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for always being such a loving, safe presence in my life,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

The Thank U, Next singer kicked off her Eternal Sunshine tour this month, her first in seven years.<\/p>\n

Through tears, she said she was grateful fans \u201cstood by my side and supported me\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just have so much gratitude,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Grande ended the emotional moment with another joke, explaining it was her first tour wearing contact lenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so nice to see you for the first time and to be able to connect. It\u2019s so powerful,\u201d she said, calling it \u201ca very overwhelming night\u201d.<\/p>\n

Grande\u2019s tears came just days after her split from Wicked<\/a> co-star Ethan Slater was confirmed by US media, though it had reportedly been kept quiet for several months.<\/p>\n

Multiple sources said the actors are still friends and supportive of one another following an almost three-year relationship.<\/p>\n

The musician and Broadway<\/a> star met after they were cast in the hit musical-to-movie adaptation Wicked<\/a>. Grande played Glinda and Slater starred opposite her as Boq, who was romantically interested in Grande\u2019s character. <\/p>\n

The pair were first pictured together in a March 2023 post by their co-star Michelle Yeoh. The timeline around Grande and Slater\u2019s then-rumoured romance<\/a>, however, sparked controversy as it appeared to coincide with their respective marriage breakdowns.<\/p>\n

Grande separated from ex-husband Dalton Gomez<\/a> in February 2023, while Slater filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, in July that same year, 11 months after they welcomed their first child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande broke down in tears on stage during a recent Los Angeles concert, a week after her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-739112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
