Published in Entertainment News
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have split after nearly three years of dating.
The Wicked co-stars are said to have called time on their romance "several months" ago, after they were first romantically linked in July 2023.
A source told PEOPLE: "It's amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways.
"They are still friends and very supportive of one another.
"They have been quietly broken up for several months."
The 32-year-old pop megastar and the 34-year-old actor met on the set of movie Wicked, in which Ariana portrayed Glinda and Ethan played Boq.
Despite the break up, the Thank U, Next hitmaker is said to be "doing great".
Ariana began her Eternal Sunshine Tour on Saturday (06.06.26), and she is due to drop her eighth studio album, Petal, on July 31st.
After they were first linked in 2023, Ariana and Ethan - who appeared alongside Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, and Peter Dinklage in Wicked - went Instagram official in November 2024.
In March, the We Can't Be Friends singer admitted she was "so very proud" of Ethan.
Ariana gushed over her Wicked: For Good co-star after a "beautiful run" in off-Broadway play Marcel on the Train, which he starred in, as French mime artist Marcel Marceau, and co-wrote.
The Into You hitmaker wrote on her Instagram Stories: "congratulations on a beautiful run of this very beautiful show."
Ariana also posted a butterfly emoji and two outlines of hearts, and she added: "so very proud".
Last November, Ariana and Ethan were said to be "making it work", despite their busy work schedules.
A source told PEOPLE at the time: "They both have a lot going on, but their relationship is the real deal."
The loved-up couple were busily promoting their new movie, Wicked: For Good at the time, but they were rarely seen together earlier in the year.
The insider said: "They're incredibly supportive of each other's careers and so excited for everyone to see their new film."
Just days beforehand, a source claimed that Ariana and Ethan have "always preferred to be low-key".
