Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have taken their relationship to the next level: The Dangerous Woman singer is now living with her Wicked co-star in New York City as he prepares to star in the upcoming Broadway production of Spamalot.
Less than two months after Ethan filed for divorce from his wife Lilly Jay, with whom he has a one-year-old son.
But Ariana and real estate agent Dalton have yet to file divorce papers to officially end their four-year marriage.
Ariana and Ethan are said to have been “stuck together” after their secret romance went public, preventing them from returning to their respective marriages.
“Ariana is currently living with a married man while still married,” a source familiar with the situation tells exclusively.

“It seems like Ariana is holding on to Dalton in case things don’t work out with Ethan.” “It’s just so strange that she lives with Ethan and hasn’t filed any documents to end the relationship with Dalton.”
The couple met in December 2022 on the set of the film adaptation of the successful Broadway musical “Wicked”, in which Ariana plays the good witch Glinda alongside Ethan as the dwarf Boq.
Another source said it was “completely untrue” that Ariana and Ethan were not romantically involved while filming “Wicked” in the UK earlier this year, claiming there were “receipts to prove it.”
This comes after People magazine reported last week that the two were strictly “friends” until splitting from their respective spouses.
“Ariana and Ethan never planned to go public with their relationship,” the second source told .
“They hoped to keep it a secret and return to their marriages as if nothing had happened.” However, this was not possible as they were caught.
“Now they’re stuck together and really have nothing in common with each other. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.”

Both couples announced back in July that they had split within days of each other, with Ariana announcing her split from Dalton just three days before confirming her new relationship with Ethan, who then filed for divorce from Lilly.
He pointed out irreconcilable differences and requested joint custody of the newborn son.
Multiple sources who witnessed Ariana and Ethan’s lovefest told that they were “sloppy” on and off set, including at an Oscars party in March.
“They were seen insulting each other while he was supposedly still happily married to Lilly,” they said.
“They were seen making out in a pub in Hampstead and were all over each other at Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar party [in March].’
Ethan and Lilly – his high school sweetheart – married in 2018 before welcoming a baby boy in August 2022.
Three months later, in November, he gushed about his soon-to-be ex-wife on their fourth wedding anniversary, and Ariana liked the now-deleted post.

Ariana and Dalton made their relationship public in 2020 before tying the knot at their Montecito mansion in May 2021.
The pair were pictured eating crepes together at a London eatery in February this year, around the same time Ethan was spotted with Lilly and their son.
The two couples dated twice while filming in the UK, with Lilly spending time with members of Ariana’s family.
In March, Ariana was pictured with Ethan walking around London with his son and was even seen pushing the stroller.
A photo taken by a fan shows Ariana giving a peace sign. However, the stroller was cropped from the original photo.
Lilly wasn’t there on their trip.
“Ariana and Dalton went on double dates with Ethan and Lilly several times – and they were accompanied by the cast,” a source previously told . “Lilly and Ethan also met Ariana’s family together, including her mother and brother.”
The insider added that Ariana “hung out” with Lilly and her newborn baby several times before her romance with Ethan was revealed – and even told those around her how much she “wanted a baby one day” after they met with Lilly and Ethan.
Photos from Michelle’s Oscar party on March 13 show Ethan with his arm on Ariana’s lap as the couple arrives and leaves together.
Lilly and Dalton were not at the party and sources say they were not invited.
Aerial photos taken on the set of Wicked in May showed the couple strolling to their trailers together.
And on June 27, Ariana was spotted with her arm around Ethan at the private members’ club Soho Farmhouse in the UK, where they celebrated her 30th birthday.
Neither Lilly nor Dalton were invited to celebrate with them.

Ariana furthered her shocking split from Dalton by deleting all photos of their wedding from Instagram.
Sources said they “tried to repair their marriage months ago but it failed.” It was also claimed that Dalton flew to London in January in a last-ditch attempt to save the couple’s marriage.
It was suspected that Ethan and Lilly were also trying to sort out their marriage before starting divorce proceedings, but sources later denied this to .
“It did not work.” [because Ariana and Ethan] still kept the affair going [that]” a source said at the time.
After Ethan filed for divorce, Lilly spoke exclusively to and revealed that she was trying to move past her grief and instead focus on raising her son as a single mother.
“I’m focused on building a new life for our son. “That’s what I’m trying to do and that’s my only focus,” she said.
Ethan and Ariana disappeared from the scene when it was revealed they were dating, but the couple returned to social media last week and Ethan covered all traces of Lilly.

He simply posted a video from Spamalot rehearsals in New York City, which opens on Broadway in mid-November.
Ariana, who has mostly posted about her new makeup line, liked Ethan’s post.
This isn’t the first time Ariana has faced allegations of infidelity. Her ex, Jai Brooks, accused the Thank U, Next singer of cheating on him with The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes in 2013.
“Yes, I was cheated on. Yes, it sucks. “Yes, I was left for another man,” Jai wrote at the time.
He went on to say he was “a miserable wreck” and added: “Like anyone who has been cheated on, it’s been hard for me but I’m finally ready to move on.”
Ariana’s relationship with Nathan was short-lived and the following year she started dating Big Sean – while he was engaged to late Glee star Naya Rivera.
In her autobiography, Naya wrote: “We argued for five days while he was away and then one day when he was back in LA he said he didn’t want to see me.”
“Well, my asshole, I have a key to your house.” I go in, go down the stairs and guess what little girl is sitting cross-legged on the couch listening to music? … It rhymes with “Smariana Schmande.”
Ariana denied the relationship and insisted she only started dating Big Sean after her split from Naya.
In 2016, Ariana began dating DJ Mac Miller and the two stayed together until 2018.
Three weeks after Ariana and Mac’s split, she confirmed that she was in a relationship with Pete Davidson. The couple was engaged within weeks.
The couple split when Mac died of a drug overdose at his LA home in September 2018.
Ariana later addressed Mac’s death in her song “Thank U, Next,” which was written about all the men she dated. She sang: “I wish I could say thank you to Malcolm because he was an angel.”
