Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater might both be still legally married to other people but that hasn’t stopped them from accelerating their relationship, according to sources.

“They’re really happy and really good for each other,” the source continued. “All of her friends love him.”

Grande filed for divorce from her husband, real estate agent Dalton Gomez, in September after first stepping out without her wedding ring in July. Gomez and Grande married in May 2021 after beginning their relationship in early 2020.

It was reported that Grande and Gomez had been having issues for months and officially called off their marriage in January. The Grammy winner and Slater met a month earlier when production on Wicked began.

When claims about the couple’s alleged affair first emerged, sources accused the two of being “sloppy” on set and alleged that their fling was an open secret. “They were seen being all over each other while he was still supposedly happily married to Lilly,” a source revealed to the Daily Mail. “They were seen making out at a pub in Hampstead, and they were all over each other at Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar party [in March].”

However, despite the backlash Slater and Grande clearly seem to be going strong and were even seen on a public outing recently, proving their undeterred by the accusations.
