Ethan Slater's estranged wife has broken her silence on her husband's relationship with Ariana Grande. “[Ariana’s] the story really,” Lily Jay told Page Six. “Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage.”
“The story is her and Dalton,” Jay added referencing Grande’s split from her husband, Dalton Gomez. The couple had been married for two years.
The publication's sources however say that Jay is behaving differently towards Ethan Slater behind closed doors. The source says that she has been “calling every news outlet to get this story out.”
“She’s telling Ethan and others that she only cares about protecting their child,” the source told the outlet.
“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.
“Ethan is trying to take the high road and hopes he can resolve this situation for the sake of their child.”
