Ariana Grande's quietly reported split from Wicked co‑star Ethan Slater has taken a twist in Los Angeles this week, as fresh claims suggest the Broadway actor is 'still very much in love' with the pop star and hoping for a reunion despite the breakup.
News of the separation only broke on Monday, when People reported that Grande, 32, and Slater, 34, had 'quietly broken up' several months earlier after nearly three years together. The pair, who met on the set of the film adaptation of Wicked, were said to have ended things amicably, remaining 'friends' and 'very supportive of one another' while Grande focused on her Eternal Sunshine tour and the build‑up to her next album, Petal, due out on 31 July.
