Share:
Ariana Grande treated fans to a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Wicked, but one cast member was conspicuously absent: her boyfriend Ethan Slater. Nowhere to be seen in the dozen snaps and clips, Slater's omission came just days after his ex-wife Lilly Jay broke her silence on their eyebrow-raising romance.

Grande’s relationship with Slater made headlines in mid-2023, shortly after her split from Dalton Gomez and Slater’s divorce filing from his high school sweetheart Jay, with whom he shares a child. In a Thursday essay, Jay revealed she moved to London with their two-month-old son while Slater filmed Wicked, only for him to leave her for Grande after they met on set.

Though reports claim Ariana and Ethan were 'relieved' that Jay didn’t completely throw them under the bus in her piece, Ariana seemed to keep her beau out of the spotlight in her cheerful carousel of Wicked moments. The post featured snaps with costars Cynthia Erivo, Bowen Yang, and others, but no sign of Slater.

'One month of @wickedmovie, thank you for your overwhelming love and embrace! I love you, we love you,' Ariana captioned the post. Meanwhile, Lilly wrote in her essay, 'I confidently moved to another country with my 2-month-old baby and my husband to support his career. Consumed by the magic and mundanity of new motherhood, I didn't understand the growing distance between us.'.
