Who’s saying what? 

According to TMZ, Ariana began dating Ethan Slater a few months ago. A picture of the two sitting next to each other from the Wicked cast members party in London went viral back in March. Ethan was married to his highschool sweetheart singer Lilly Jay and the two share a son, who they welcomed last year. Ariana and Ethan did not start dating until he separated from Lilly. 

Reportedly, Ariana and Dalton began to drift apart in December last year, after she started filming for Wicked. Since then, she has been keeping a low profile. On social media also, Ariana has not been active. Her wedding ring has been missing from her recent posts.

On the work front, Wicked has been put on hold due to an actors' strike. Helmed by Jon M. Chu, the film also stars Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater and others. The first part, Wicked: Part One is scheduled to hit the theatres on November 27, 2024.
