Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater reportedly ended relationship in secret

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have quietly called it quits.

People magazine reports that the 'Wicked' costars have ended their relationship after nearly three years of dating.

A source claims the ‘Eternal Sunshine’ singer is "doing great" and is "incredibly focused on preparing for her tour."

She's seemed very happy. It's all been very positive vibes.

"It's amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," the outlet cites a source as saying.

They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.

Grande has lately been focused on her 'The Eternal Sunshine Tour', which kicked off on 6 June, and the upcoming release of her album 'Petal' on 31 July.

The outlet also reports that Ariana's new album is not inspired by the break-up or her relationship with Ethan.

After her opening show, an emotional Ariana took to Instagram, writing: “It feels impossible to find the words at this time … so for now, just thank you. from the bottom of my heart. I love you all more than words can ever possibly say.”

It marks her return to touring after six years and two major films for the 'Wicked' franchise.

The 'Hate That I Made You Love Me' singer and Slater were first linked in July 2023 after meeting on the set of 'Wicked'. Grande played Glinda, and Slater starred opposite her as Boq.

They made their relationship Instagram official in November 2024 and appeared together at multiple promotional events for 'Wicked' and 'Wicked: For Good' over the past 18 months.

In November last year, Slater told Extra at the New York City premiere of the second 'Wicked' film that "Ariana's performance is out of this world".

In March 2025, Grande offered a message of support for the final performance of Slater's off-Broadway play 'Marcel on the Train', which he co-wrote and starred in.

"Congratulations on a beautiful run of this very beautiful show," Grande wrote on her Instagram Stories, along with heart emojis. "So very proud."

People reported back in November that the two were "making it work" despite busy schedules and were "incredibly supportive" of one another's careers.

It’s unclear exactly when the two broke off their relationship, and we’re yet to hear any word from either of them directly. But in Ari's own words, she seems to be saying, “Thank u, next,” and is set on making her tour her priority.
