Ariana Grande and Wicked co-star Ethan Slater\u2019s messy romance rumours have heated up as they\u2019re said to be living together in New York City.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old has been keeping her love life incredibly quiet amid rumours she\u2019s dating the Spongebob actor.<\/p>\n
The explosive rumours began days after Ariana split from her husband Dalton Gomez, 28, who she wed back in 2021. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s now reported that Ariana and Dalton have taken the next step in their relationship by moving in together. <\/p>\n
The rumoured couple are said to be living in an NYC apartment, according to the Daily Mail, with a source claiming: \u2018It is just so strange that she is living with Ethan and has not filed documents to end it with Dalton.\u2019 <\/p>\n
It\u2019s said that Ethan needs to be in the city to prepare for his upcoming role in the Broadway production of Spamalot. <\/p>\n

Wicked filming began in December 2022, with the Popular songstress portraying Glinda the good witch opposite Cynthia Erivo\u2019s Elphaba.<\/p>\n
Broadway star Ethan joined the cast as munchkin Boq, who tries to win Glinda\u2019s affection while at school to no avail.<\/p>\n
If rumours are to be believed, Ethan had better luck wooing Ariana than Boq did Glinda, as the pair were \u2018all over\u2019 each other at a party in March.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old was married to Lilly Jay and had just had a child with her last year when he was linked to the REM founder.<\/p>\n
In late July, both Ariana and Ethan split from their respective partners, although nothing between them had been confirmed.<\/p>\n
Lilly, Ethan\u2019s wife, reportedly said the Problem singer was \u2018not a girl\u2019s girl\u2019 having been on double dates together and added her family was \u2018just collateral damage\u2019.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
By August, the Wicked pair were said to be taking some time \u2018apart\u2019 amid the rumours, with things heating up as claims emerged that they had been \u2018sloppy\u2019 on set.<\/p>\n
Ethan made his Instagram page private amid the drama as fans noticed Ariana had been consistently liking his posts, including those with his family.<\/p>\n
He returned to the platform with an announcement that he would be appearing on Broadway in Spamalot, which Ariana promptly liked.<\/p>\n
The supposed couple haven\u2019t been photographed together since the rumours emerged, opting to stay away from the spotlight.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
According to People, the \u2018entire situation has been blown out of proportion\u2019 and isn\u2019t as it was portrayed \u2018in public\u2019.<\/p>\n
They added that the pair were \u2018just trying to navigate their new relationship in private\u2019 but reiterated that both were separated when they began seeing each other.<\/p>\n
Neither has publicly commented on the rumours, with Ariana posting solely about her beauty business and music releases.<\/p>\n
