MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES: Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s affair is out, but many are wondering when it all started! As per media outlets, the ‘Thank U, Next’ singer used to spend time with both Ethan and his now-estranged wife Lilly even when the pair was happily married. Grande even liked the Instagram post of Slater honoring Lilly on Mother’s Day a few months ago. “Happy first Mother’s Day to the most loving caring, and wonderful mom/person in the world.”
As per close sources, "It's understandable that emotions are high and it's hard seeing your ex move on, especially in such a public way, and her friends are trying to protect her. But Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship." Ariana was first noticed without her wedding ring at Men’s Wimbledon Final in London where she was accompanied by her co-star Jonathan Bailey. It is anticipated that Ariana Grande and her estranged husband Dalton Gomez will soon file for divorce, reports TMZ.
