Ariana Grande isn’t the only person who may soon be going through a divorce. According to TMZ, Ethan Slater has been married to Lilly Jay since 2018, though sources tell the outlet that the two separated before he showed an interest in Grande. Slater and Jay welcomed a child together in 2022. And while Grande has been busy deleting traces of her life with Gomez from her Instagram account, Slater posted about his wife as recently as May. “Happy first Mother’s Day to the most loving caring and wonderful mom/person in the world,” he captioned an Instagram upload.

For those unfamiliar with Slater’s work, he’s appeared in a number of films, including “Evol” and “The Man Behind the Camera.” He was cast as Boq in “Wicked,” which is getting a film adaptation. For those unfamiliar, Boq befriends both Elphaba and Glinda, portrayed in the film by Cynthia Erivo and Grande, respectively, and is in love with Glinda — which may end up being quite a fitting real-life tale. Part one of the two-part series is slated for a theatrical release in December 2024, according to Variety.
