Ariana Grande and her boyfriend Ethan Slater have called it quits on their relationship after three years, the Daily Mail has learned.

A source revealed that Grande and Slater had decided to go their separate ways after a significant amount of consideration and lengthy deliberation.

They described the breakup – which happened several months ago – as amicable, and stressed that the singer and her Wicked costar are still friends. 

Grande, 32, was said to be doing well in the wake of their breakup.

The Daily Mail’s source shared that the hitmaker has been focusing her energy on her ongoing Eternal Sunshine tour, which kicked off on June 6 in Oakland, California.

Grande has also been throwing herself into the recording of her upcoming studio album, Petal, which is set to be released on July 31.

Ever since their split months ago, Grande and Slater have been keeping a low public profile. 

The two struck up their romance after meeting during the filming of their blockbuster musical adaptation of Wicked, which was released in 2024, with its second half, Wicked: For Good, following in 2025.

Their romance was first reported in July 2023, just days after news broke of Grande’s buzzy separation from her husband, Dalton Gomez, though they were said to have split in January of that year.

Slater had also recently separated from his wife, the clinical psychologist Lilly Jay, with whom he welcomed a son in August 2022.

At the time, sources claimed that Grande and Slater didn’t start dating until both had separated from their spouses.
