Ariana Grande Finds New Love with 'Wicked' Co-star Ethan Slater Post Dalton Gomez Split
Ariana Grande has found new love with her 'Wicked' co-star Ethan Slater following her split with Dalton Gomez.
Love takes center stage in the world of Broadway, and this time it's defying gravity with a new romance blooming on the set of "Wicked." Recent reports reveal that Ariana Grande has found love with her 31-year-old co-star, Ethan Slater, following her well-publicized split from husband Dalton Gomez.
Ethan Slater, known for his role as the titular character in the hit musical "SpongeBob SquarePants" on Broadway, is no stranger to love drama himself. Reports indicate that he has also parted ways with his wife, singer Lilly Jay, with whom he celebrated four years of marriage in November 2022. Both TMZ and People have confirmed that Grande and Slater's relationship began after they both ended their previous commitments. While Ariana reportedly ended things with Gomez in January, no official announcement has been made regarding their separation.
As news of this budding romance circulates, fans and media outlets have reached out to representatives of Grande and Slater for comments on the matter.
In the upcoming pair of live-action films based on the Broadway sensation "Wicked," directed by Jon M. Chu, Ariana Grande takes on the role of Glinda, while Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Slater, on the other hand, portrays Boq, a munchkin boy with an ironic crush on Glinda. An Instagram photo shared by Michelle Yeoh in March showcased Slater, Grande, and other "Wicked" co-stars, hinting at their connection beyond the stage.
The news of Ariana and Ethan's reported romance comes shortly after reports of her split with Dalton Gomez, whom she married in 2021. Notably, Ariana was recently seen at Wimbledon alongside Andrew Garfield, Tom Hiddleston, and fellow "Wicked" star Jonathan Bailey, with her wedding ring conspicuously absent from her left hand.
Despite the changes in her personal life, Ariana Grande maintains amicable terms with her soon-to-be ex-husband. As the "Thank U, Next" singer embraces new beginnings both on and off the stage, fans are eager to witness this unfolding chapter of her life.
