Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater<\/a> have reportedly ended their relationship after almost three years<\/a> together. <\/p>\n

According to multiple<\/a> outlets<\/a>, the former couple \u2014 who met on the set of the 2024 musical blockbuster \u201cWicked<\/a>\u201d \u2014 quietly called it quits several months ago. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,\u201d a source told People<\/a>. \u201cThey are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cThank U, Next\u201d singer, 32, and \u201cSpongeBob SquarePants\u201d actor, 34, had been linked since 2023. They made their relationship Instagram-official in 2024 in the lead-up to the release of \u201cWicked,\u201d in which Grande starred as G(a)linda the Good while Slater portrayed Munchkin and future-Tin Man Boq. <\/p>\n

Their dating rumors were scrutinized at the time because Grande and Slater both had highly publicized splits<\/a> from former spouses<\/a> around the same time. Grande was previously married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, while Slater had been married to psychologist Lilly Jay, his high-school sweetheart with whom he shares a child. <\/p>\n

In March, Slater wrapped the off-Broadway run of \u201cMarcel on the Run.\u201d In addition to co-writing the play with Marshall Pailet, Slater portrayed mime artist Marcel Marceau. <\/p>\n

Grande, meanwhile, embarked on her Eternal Sunshine tour<\/a> in Oakland on Saturday. This marks the \u201cHate That I Made You Love Me\u201d singer\u2019s first tour since 2019<\/a>. Grande is slated for five shows in Los Angeles beginning June 13. <\/p>\n

This might be the last time fans can catch Grande at a live concert \u2014 at least for a while. In November<\/a>, she mentioned these shows might be her \u201clast hurrah\u201d as a touring pop star. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time,\u201d she said on the \u201cGood Hang With Amy Poehler\u201d podcast. \u201cSo I\u2019m going to give it my all, and it\u2019s going to be beautiful, and I think that\u2019s why I\u2019m doing it, because it\u2019s like, one last hurrah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grande\u2019s next album, \u201cPetal,\u201d will be released July 31. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship after almost three years together.
