Lovebirds Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater did not shy away from displaying their affection for each other at a CinemaCon party in Las Vegas. The couple, who had just presented their new film “Wicked,” were seen being very sweet and cuddly throughout the evening, with Slater taking the lead and guiding Grande through the party by hand.
Controversial Relationship
The studio hosting the party, Universal, did not seem to mind the controversial off-screen relationship between Grande and Slater. Despite initial concerns that the couple would downplay their relationship for promotional purposes, sources at the party revealed that they were incredibly affectionate and sweet towards each other.
However, this affectionate display blindsided Slater’s wife, Lilly Jay, who reportedly was left in a state of turmoil when Grande and Slater began dating last summer after working together on “Wicked.” Production sources from the film revealed that Jay would visit Slater on set with their baby at the time, and she even went on double dates with Grande and her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez.
Grande, who has an estimated net worth of $240 million, had to make a significant one-time payment of $1.25 million to Gomez, with no future alimony, when they settled their divorce in March. The pop star has not publicly commented on her new relationship, choosing to let her music speak for itself. Despite the drama, reports indicate that Grande and Slater are now happily living together in New York City.
The unfolding drama of Grande and Slater’s relationship has captivated audiences and industry insiders alike. From their public displays of affection to the heartbreak caused by their newfound romance, the couple’s love story is one for the tabloids. Only time will tell how this celebrity saga will continue to unravel in the spotlight.
