Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater split after three years together

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have ended their relationship after nearly three years together, the BBC said, citing US reports.

The couple separated "quietly" and in an "amicable" manner several months ago, a source told US magazine People.

"They gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," the source told the publication. "They are still friends and very supportive of one another."

The pair met while starring together in the film adaptation of Wicked. BBC News has asked Grande and Slater's representatives for comment.

The singer and actress, 32, first met Slater, 34, in 2023 while they were shooting the two films in the UK.

Grande starred as Glinda the good witch in the Wizard of Oz spin-off, while Slater portrayed Boq Woodsman, who is later turned into the Tin Man.

After going Instagram official in real life in 2024, the couple appeared together at promotional events for both Wicked and its sequel, Wicked: For Good.

Both stars finalised divorces from their former partners during their time together.

Last weekend, Grande began her long-awaited Eternal Sunshine tour - her first since 2019.
