Pop singer and actor Ariana Grande and the boyfriend who was embroiled in an "affair" rumor flaunted unchanged affection amid breakup rumors.
Ariana Grande's boyfriend, actor Ethan Slater, on the 26th (local time) posted several photos on his social media showing a cozy year-end at home.
Ethan Slater released a short video and several private photos showing Ariana Grande resting at home. In the photos and video, Ariana Grande was lying on a sofa holding a small brown dog. Wearing a classic black turtleneck and pants of the same color, she had a relaxed expression as she stroked the dog.
Ariana Grande pushed her hair back and secured it with a white headband, completing her year-end look with pearl earrings and platform heels.
Another post included a man sitting next to Ariana Grande laughing. Ethan Slater wrote "a very enjoyable year-end," indicating they were spending time together. Afterward, Ariana Grande also shared the post on her social media.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater met while filming the movie "Wicked," and were first linked romantically in July 2023. That same month Ethan Slater filed for divorce from his wife Lily Jay, and Ariana Grande filed for divorce after two years of marriage to her ex-husband Dalton Gomez. The reason for the divorces was cited as "irreconcilable differences."
Afterwards, as the dating rumors intensified, they faced "affair" allegations. Nevertheless, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater developed their relationship as a couple, attending awards ceremonies together and enjoying dates.
However, recently, ahead of the release of "Wicked: The Movie," breakup rumors surfaced. The two were seen keeping their distance from each other at pre-release events, and Ethan Slater's apparent avoidance of a question on the "Today" show last month—"what is it like to work with your girlfriend every day?"—contributed to the speculation.
The two, who had not commented on the breakup rumors, revealed a "romance in progress" by releasing photos of spending the year-end together.
