Ethan Slater, Ariana Grande‘s rumored boyfriend, has filed for divorce from his wife of five years, Lilly Jay, per TMZ. Court documents the outlet claimed to have obtained reportedly revealed that he officially filed on Wednesday, July 26 — just days after rumors of an affair between Ariana and Ethan swirled around the internet. Ethan, 31, reportedly met Ariana, 30, on the set of the highly anticipated Wicked film, which began filming in England this year.
The rumored romance followed reports that the “thank u, next” singer and her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, called it quits. The couple had been rumored to be on the rocks for quite some time, and the distance did them no good. “She was happy in Los Angeles for a couple of years. She wanted to make a life there with Dalton,” a person close to the pop superstar told PEOPLE on July 17. However, Ariana and Dalton’s commitment to their respective careers seemingly drove a wedge between them.

“It’s definitely been an issue for them. Dalton’s career [as a luxury real estate agent] is demanding and he can’t leave Los Angeles often,” the insider claimed. “So when [Ariana] started filming Wicked in England, they were in for a long-distance marriage.” The source added that there is no bad blood between Ariana and Dalton, and that Dalton was completely supportive of Araian during their union.
Ethan and Lilly were high school sweethearts — getting hitched back in 2018 — and welcomed a son together last year.
