Who is Ethan Slater married to? All about Ariana Grande's 'Wicked' co-star 

Ethan Slater is currently trending due to reports from multiple sources that he and Ariana Grande are romantically linked to each other. The news comes after Ariana's reported separation from Dalton Gomez. Ethan and Ariana will also be appearing together in the musical fantasy film Wicked, which is scheduled to be released in two parts in 2024 and 2025.

Ariana and Dalton reportedly separated earlier this month. A source for People revealed they were quietly working to develop their friendship. The reports went viral after Grande was seen in London without the engagement ring and wedding band.

Another insider stated that Grande has been busy filming for Wicked, which led to many issues between the duo. The source stated that Grande was planning for a future with Gomez in London.

"He is super focused on his career and needs to live in Los Angeles. It's definitely been an issue for them. Dalton's career is demanding, and he can't leave Los Angeles often. So when [Grande] started filming Wicked in England, they were in for a long-distance marriage," the source continued.

Ethan Slater tied the knot with Lilly Jay in November 2018, and they became parents of a son in 2022. However, the duo separated quietly, and they are yet to issue a statement on the reasons for the separation.
