Ethan Slater Dodges Questions About Ariana Grande, Sparking Breakup Rumors

Hollywood actor and singer Ariana Grande's rumored boyfriend, Ethan Slater, has reignited breakup rumors by avoiding questions about their relationship in a recent interview.

The speculation began during an interview on NBC's 'Today' show. When asked about the experience of working with his girlfriend daily, Ethan Slater did not provide a direct answer. Instead, he diverted the question by praising the entire cast of 'Wicked: For Good,' stating, "All the actors have shown incredible talent."

While he described Ariana Grande as an "excellent actress," he used more emphatic language for co-star Cynthia Erivo, calling her "remarkable" and describing the experience of acting alongside her as "special." This disparity in praise led fans and media outlets to comment that "the weight of compliments has changed" and "the atmosphere between the two isn't the same as before."

When asked about the filming process, Slater mentioned, "The filming wrapped up years ago," and expressed pride in the time spent with the cast, describing it as "almost like a family." Reflecting on the recent premiere, he shared, "It's enjoyable to feel that energy."

Previously, the couple was seen maintaining a noticeable distance at events, further fueling breakup rumors. Earlier this month, Ethan Slater posted a group photo on social media featuring Ariana Grande but did not include any expressions of affection, prompting further speculation.

The relationship between the two first came to light in July 2023 amid dating rumors. At the time, both were reportedly going through divorce proceedings, and rumors of infidelity surfaced. However, neither has made any official statements regarding their personal lives.
