Former Wicked<\/a> co-stars and forever theater kids Ariana Grande<\/a> and Ethan Slater<\/a> have broken up after three years of dating, People<\/a> reports. \u201cIt\u2019s amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,\u201d a source told the outlet. \u201cThey are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.\u201d The two first met on the set of Wicked and began dating shortly after their split from their spouses in 2023. They\u2019ve kept a low profile throughout their relationship, with a few Disney dates<\/a> sprinkled in, so much so that the public speculated<\/a> at the end of last year if they were still together.<\/p>\n The most important part of a breakup is finding a way to keep yourself busy, and thankfully, both Grande and Slater have a lot going on at the moment. Slater wrote and starred in the off-Broadway play Marcel on the Train <\/a>earlier this year and was nominated for a Drama League award. Grande just kicked off her Eternal Sunshine world tour in Oakland this past weekend and is weeks away from the release of her new album, Petal<\/a>. There\u2019s no better way to heal a broken heart.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
