Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater ‘relieved’ his ex-wife didn’t ‘throw them under the bus’

Lilly Jay, the ex-wife of Ethan Slater published an emotional personal essay with The Cut recently, where she opened up about the impact his public relationship with Ariana Grande has had on her following their divorce.

She reflected on dealing with the “sudden public downfall of my marriage” in the “shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.”

His ex-wife also admitted the devastating impact of being “unable to escape” the promotion of Wicked, in which Ethan Slater and his new girlfriend Ariana Grande both star. Lilly confessed: “Days when I can’t escape the promotion of a movie associated with the saddest days of my life are darker.”

And it seems as though Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are both “relieved” his ex-wife didn’t “throw them under the bus” with her comments, according to The Daily Mail.

A source claimed: “They’re relieved that Lilly didn’t throw them under the bus. Ethan and Ariana are fully aware of what happened, as is everyone who was around at the time.

Lilly made it clear that she moved to London with him and the timeline from that point forward speaks for itself. Filming was still occurring when they were first seen being intimate in photos and Lilly was no longer there so people can put two and two together – Lilly didn’t need to.”

She touched upon their move to London in her essay, writing: “I confidently moved to another country with my 2-month-old baby and my husband to support his career. Consumed by the magic and mundanity of new motherhood, I didn’t understand the growing distance between us.”

She added: “No-one gets married thinking they’ll get divorced, in the same way we don’t board a plane expecting to crash. I really never thought I would get divorced. Especially not just after giving birth to my first child and especially not in the shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.”

The source added that whilst Ethan and Lilly’s divorce agreement “restricted [Jay] from disclosing certain details about the events that transpired” around their breakup, it didn’t prevent her from “expressing her emotions surrounding the ordeal.”

The source added: “During the legal proceedings, Lilly was essentially silenced, unable to speak freely. Despite the circumstances, she came out of the divorce a winner.”
