After a rather controversial origin story during the first Wicked film, the unique pairing of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater has been strangely cold towards one another in public, with people naturally wondering if they’re still together.<\/p>\n

This less-than-wicked story starts in 2018 when Ethan Slater married his childhood sweetheart, Lilly Jay. They welcomed a son in August 2022, just a few months ahead of filming for Wicked<\/a>. Seven months into filming, Ariana broke things off with her husband, Dalton Gomez, with Ethan following suit just 10 days later.\u00a0By the end of that month, rumours had started to spiral about Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande.<\/p>\n

Though Ethan and Ariana continued to maintain that there was a two-month break between their divorces and surprise romance, Lilly said Ariana was “not a girl’s girl<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande have been somewhat private about their lives ever since, and with the worldwide release of Wicked fast approaching, many have questioned whether they’re still together. Here’s what we know.<\/p>\n

Are Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater still together?<\/h2>\n

Despite the rumours surrounding their relationship, which include cancelling their wedding, people have questioned whether they’re still together. Don’t fear, folks, they are, which firmly negates the rumours that Ariana is dating Aaron-Taylor Johnson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey both have a lot going on, but their relationship is the real deal. They\u2019re incredibly supportive of each other\u2019s careers and so excited for everyone to see their new film,” a source told PEOPLE<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Okay, so why are they a bit odd in public?<\/h2>\n
