Now, the 5’1 singer has media outlets flitting around for dating rumors with actor Ethan Slater. Both the stars were married when the rumors floated up, with Grande even getting a divorce while Slater had filed for one to Australian singer and wife Lily Jay in July 2023, per TMZ.

The 30-year-old singer and Ethan Slater have been labeled as “home breakers.” Ariana Grande and her new boyfriend were spotted at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel’s MO Lounge in Manhattan, New York, in late October 2023. TMZ confirmed that the romantic dinner involved the two stars getting super close while seated at a private table corner. However, the dating rumors first sparked in July, soon after Grande’s divorce and Slater’s separation from Lily Jay.

While the Positions singer doesn’t share a child with ex-husband Gomez, Slater is father to a 1-year-old boy, whom he shares with Jay.

The complex situation has given rise to rumors on both sides of the party being labeled as ‘home breakers.’ However, most netizens have aggressively directed the label at Grande. Consequently, the latest single of her Blond Ambition era, ‘Yes, And?’ disses the trash talk around her. As per a post by Pop Crave on X, a particular bridge of the song reads,

“Your business is yours, and mine is mine. Why do you care so much whose d*ck I ride?”

This bold statement responds to the critics censuring her relationship with her Wicked co-star. Acclaimed for her four-octave vocal range, the Florida native’s new single tunes into a sharp, toe-tapping beat, packaged in a Madonna’s “Vogue” styled track. ‘Yes, And?’ is scheduled to premiere at 7 am PST, Friday. The fans await with bated breaths.

The pop icon and the Broadway actor have been working together on 2024’s musical Wicked, delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. While Grande has been living in London for the filming, Slater and Grande have also taken their relationship a notch up by moving in together in NYC, per Daily Mail.

Notably, the couple met each other on the set of Wicked back in December 2022 and had even gone on double dates with their respective former partners. By July, Grande and Slater had announced their separation from partners, surging the dating speculations. Ex-wife, Lily Jay condemned Grande’s antics with Slater, and told Page Six,

“My family is just collateral damage’ to her. I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son. This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.” 

Surprisingly, Ariana Grande had spent ample time with Jay and her kid while she visited the sets of Wicked more than once to meet her ex-husband in London. The ex-couple had dated for six years before getting married in 2018, and becoming parents in August 2022. However, the trajectory of the stars’ lives changed once the filming for Wicked ensued.
