Ethan Slater, Ariana Grande’s boyfriend, has opted to separate from his marriage to Lilly Jay.
According to reports, Ethan filed for divorce in New York on Wednesday, July 26, although the cause for their divorce is yet unknown. Ethan and Lilly met in high school and married in 2018, before having a son together last year.
The divorce is not shocking given that Ariana and Ethan have been dating for some months after meeting on the set of “Wicked.”
According to sources close to Lilly, she is sad to hear of Ethan’s new connection and believes he abandoned his brand-new family.
A source close to Ariana and Ethan told NewsofAfrica that “It’s understandable that emotions are high and it’s hard seeing your ex move on, especially in such a public way, and her friends are trying to protect her. But Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship.”
