“Ariana and Dalton have been having some issues for months now,” a source told Us Weekly. “They were having issues before she left for Wicked filming [in London] that they couldn’t resolve, and the distance did not help. They haven’t been speaking and are separated, and a divorce is likely.”

Grande has been trending for the past two weeks due to the announcement of her split from her estranged husband and her relationship with Slater. Grander and Gomez got married in 2021 and have been separated since January. However, three days after the split, a source revealed that the singer had already moved on with her “Wicked” co-star.

“Ariana and Ethan recently started dating. They have a lot in common and have a lot of fun,” the source told Entertainment Tonight. “They didn't start dating until both were broken up with their significant others. Ariana and Dalton remain friends.”

On Wednesday (July 26), TMZ reported that Slater filed for divorce from his wife Lily Jay after 10 years together. A reason for the divorce has not been reported at this time.
