Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly gone their separate ways after nearly three years of dating.

Multiple outlets have reported that the Eternal Sunshine singer, 32, and the Broadway star, 34, quietly ended their relationship months ago but have remained friends and continue to support each other following their amicable split.

"It's amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," a source told People. "They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months."

Another insider told Page Six that the exes "have nothing but respect and admiration for one another" and that "this wasn't a decision they took lightly but realized they were better off friends than in a committed relationship."

The insider added that Grande is "feeling really happy" and focusing "on the next chapter" like her Eternal Sunshine tour, which kicked off this week, and her upcoming new album petal.

Grande and Slater first met in 2022 while filming Wicked and sparked romance rumors the following year amid her divorce from Dalton Gomez and Slater's split from ex Lilly Jay. While they kept their relationship private, they have each showed support for each other and their accomplishments.
