Hollywood has recently been rocked by rumours of an unexpected affair involving music phenomenon Ariana Grande and her married “Wicked” co-star, Ethan Slater.
Lilly Jay, Slater’s wife, is left in shock as the tale develops, and sources claim that she was “completely blindsided” by the relationship. Let’s take a closer look at this love story to see how it all turned out. Since Slater and Grande have been filming “Wicked” in London for a year, there have been rumours that their on-screen connection has manifested in real life.
Many have questioned whether art imitated life or vice versa in the wake of Slater and Jay’s abrupt breakup, with many suggesting Ariana Grande may be to blame. Recently, Slater sent a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute to his “wonderful” wife on Instagram to compliment her. However, the unexpected turn of events has prompted Slater to change his social media privacy settings, raising the possibility of unrest behind the scenes.
Lilly Jay and their infant paid a visit to the “Wicked” set, where Grande appeared to spend some time with the couple as well, according to production insiders. As the rumours multiply, the distinction between fact and fiction becomes increasingly hazy, leaving spectators to wonder what’s going on both on and off stage.
News that Ariana Grande and her real estate agent husband, Dalton Gomez, had decided to divorce in January after two years of marriage added even another level of difficulty earlier this week. The pair is still “incredibly amicable,” according to sources, and they are reportedly trying to keep their friendship strong despite their split.
