Ariana Grande is now dating her Wicked co-star, Broadway actor Ethan Slater, according to a new report.
Just days after Ariana Grande made headlines amid reports she’s ‘divorcing’ her husband of two years Dalton Gomez, new sources claim she’s moved on with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.
TMZ reported that Ari and her real estate agent husband have been separated since January amid struggles to make their relationship work in a ‘post-Covid world’ due to their lives being ‘vastly different’.
