Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's relationship is getting deeper. According to an insider per People, the singer “loves being with him” and is “serious” about her relationship with the actor.

The two have been out enjoying NYC lately but the insider adds that they “mostly enjoy staying in. It’s a very normal relationship.”

The most recent time Slater tagged along to a dinner with Grande and her father Ed Butera according to photos obtained by Entertainment Tonight.

The Positions creator seemingly has been giving fans hints about her relationship as she uploaded a photo of herself and her Christmas tree last week where fans had noticed one of her ornaments gave a subtle hint of her boyfriend Ethan Slater. On her tree, the “thank u, next” singer has an ornament shaped like a can of SPAM. Fans believed it was a nod to her beau Slater who is currently in the production of Spamalot on Broadway.

How did Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's relationship begin?

Grande and Slater began sparking romance rumors shortly after it was announced that the singer and her ex-husband Dalton Gomez were separated. Fans noticed that Grande was not wearing her wedding ring during Wimbledon which was back in early July. It was later reported that the two have been separated since January. Grande and Gomez were married for two years before calling it quits.

The two finalized their divorce in September. Grande filed first on Monday (Sept. 18), citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce, and Gomez followed up with his filing immediately. According to TMZ, Grande “cut Gomez a check,” and everything was smooth sailing at the courthouse.

Slater filed for divorce from his wife Lily Jay back in July. They were together for 10 years and were high school sweethearts. They got married in 2018 and share one son together whom they welcomed last year.

Lily Jay broke her silence on the situation calling Grande out.

“[Ariana’s] the story really,” Lily Jay told Page Six. “Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage.”

However the source said that she both Slater and Grande were not with their partners when their relationship began. “She’s rightfully upset because her marriage fell apart, but Ariana and Ethan didn’t do anything wrong,” the source says that the “Wicked” co-stars' romance began after they both were separated from their partners.
