Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater are apparently living together in New York
When the SAG-AFTRA strike was called in July, the London production of Wicked was put on hiatus. Ariana Grande stayed in town, hung out with friends, went to Wimbledon and then began rolling out her relationship with Ethan Slater. The problem? Um, Ethan Slater was married to Lilly Jay, and Ariana and Ethan’s affair had been happening for months while they were both married. Soon enough, Ethan was back in New York to deal with Lilly, while Ariana returned to her home in LA. The past few months have been pretty quiet, and I honestly keep waiting to hear about Ethan and Ariana breaking up. It hasn’t happened – they’re apparently living together now.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are allegedly waking up next to each other every day, as a new report from Us Weekly claims the “Thank U, Next” singer and her new boyfriend are living together in New York City.
“Ethan informed his friends and soon-to-be ex-wife [Lilly Jay] that he’s living with Ariana full-time in New York,” a source told the news outlet.
“They’re really happy and really good for each other,” the insider continued. “All of her friends love him.”
Reps for Grande and Slater did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
This surprising development in Grande and Slater’s relationship comes less than a year after they met while filming “Wicked” in London.
If this is true – and I have no idea – then I have to give it to Ariana, because there have been zero paparazzi photos of her in New York. She has been in New York this week though, we know because she took in a Broadway show and took a selfie with Max Martin (the songwriter). So… did she buy a place in New York? When she was with Pete Davidson, she had a big, ritzy condo, but she sold it after they split. Hm. As for Ethan and Ari living together… we’ll see. I would imagine Ethan wants to be New York-based because of whatever joint custody situation he worked out with Lilly.
