Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater End Three-Year Relationship Amicably

Ariana Grande and actor Ethan Slater have quietly ended their nearly three‑year romance, sources tell People and other outlets. The split was described as amicable, with the pair having taken several months to consider the decision before parting ways. Both remain friends and continue to support each other’s careers.

The two met on the set of the film adaptation of the musical Wicked in 2023, made their relationship public in 2024, and were each newly single after divorces from previous spouses. Grande is currently focused on her Eternal Sunshine tour, which began in early June, and on the upcoming album Petal, scheduled for release on July 31, 2026. Slater is pursuing theater and film projects, including recent off‑Broadway work.

No public statements have been issued by either artist, and sources say the breakup did not influence Grande’s new music.
