Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have ended their relationship.

According to People, the two called it quits several months ago following a nearly three-year romance. A source close to the former couple emphasized that the split was handled with maturity and care.

"It's amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," the insider explained. "They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months."

The 32-year-old singer is moving forward positively, channeling her energy into her Eternal Sunshine Tour and her forthcoming album Petal, set to arrive on July 31.

Grande and Slater, 34, first connected in July 2023 while working together on the Wicked film, where she portrayed Glinda and he played Boq. Their relationship went public on Instagram in November 2024, and they made joint appearances at various promotional events for Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good, throughout the past year and a half.

This past March, Grande shared a rare public message of encouragement for Slater following the final show of his off-Broadway production Marcel on the Train, a play he both wrote and starred in.
