How long have Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater been rumored to be dating?
Ariana and Ethan have kept their relationship private since rumors began last July. They first met in December 2022 while filming Wicked. Ariana plays ‘Glinda the Good Witch’, while Ethan portrays ‘Boq’ in the movie.
However, speculation about their dating started in 2023 after both filed for divorce from their previous spouses.
Ariana was married to Dalton Gomez, and Ethan was married to Lilly Jay, with whom he has a two-year-old son.
After their divorces were announced, Ariana and Ethan were seen together at various events, which fueled dating rumors.
However, they have defended their relationship publicly at the time. In a Vanity Fair interview over the summer, Ariana expressed disappointment over negative public perceptions of their relationship.
She stated at the time,
“The most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version of it. No one on this earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about.”
Similarly, Ethan spoke about the challenge of having their private lives scrutinized by the public. While talking with GQ, he said,
“I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public. It’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love.”
The actor further acknowledged that he and Ariana Grande experienced significant changes in their lives during a challenging time.
He mentioned that the online speculation surrounding their relationship was “really hard” to deal with. Slater expressed his admiration for Ariana, stating how proud he is of her accomplishments. He said,
“I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”
Ariana has a history of high-profile relationships. She previously dated rapper Mac Miller from 2016 to 2018, who tragically passed away due to an accidental overdose.
The singer-turned-actor also paid tribute to her late ex-boyfriend in songs on various hits, including Ghostin and Just Like Magic.
In 2018, she also had a brief but intense relationship with Pete Davidson, who is known for his work on Saturday Night Live. They became engaged during that time.
