Ariana Grande has shown her unwavering support for her new beau, Ethan Slater, as he makes his return to social media following his recent divorce from Lilly Jay. Slater, known for his role in “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical,” has also stirred headlines with his newfound romance with the “Save Your Tears” singer.
The 31-year-old star made a much-anticipated comeback on social media by sharing a captivating three-slide carousel, a gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by the Grammy-winning pop sensation Grande, who promptly “liked” the post.
The carousel includes a captivating close-up image of Slater flashing a charming half-smile, an artistic photograph capturing a dog gazing contemplatively out of a high-rise window, and a silent video showcasing Slater practicing a routine with renowned Broadway actor Lorenzo Pisoni at a bustling dance studio.
To add a touch of humor to the post, Slater captioned it with a playful note, stating, “Spamalot (not pictured).”
This marks Slater’s first public post since the end of his marriage, both his and Ariana Grande’s respective unions coming to an end within a short span. In July, the world was taken by surprise as news of Grande’s divorce from her spouse of two years, Dalton Gomez, surfaced. Shortly after, the revelation of her romantic involvement with Slater grabbed the headlines.
At the time, Ethan Slater was still married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, with whom he shared a 1-year-old son. However, in a whirlwind of events, Slater filed for divorce less than a week after the news of his passionate romance with Ariana Grande broke, marking a significant turning point in both of their lives.
