Ariana Grande's New Romance

Ariana Grande is making headlines once again, but this time it's to defend her new relationship with Ethan Slater, her co-star from the upcoming film adaptation of "Wicked." Although their romance blossomed after Ariana ended her marriage with Dalton Gomez last July, things are a bit more complicated—neither Ariana nor Ethan was officially single at the time of their relationship's inception.

Public Scrutiny and Media Misrepresentation

The public scrutiny surrounding their relationship has been intense, with whispers of infidelity clouding their budding romance. In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Grande did not hold back in expressing her displeasure over the media's framing of her boyfriend. "The most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version of it," she stated. Ariana passionately defended Ethan, calling the media portrayal "less accurate" and insisting that it does not reflect his true character. She emphasized, "No one on this earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about."

Facing Criticism as a 'Homewrecker'

As their love story unfolded, fans were quick to label Ariana a "homewrecker," particularly because Ethan shares a son with his ex-wife Lilly Jay, born in August 2022. The couple, who tied the knot in November 2018 after a relationship that began in 2012, finalized their split only recently.

Ariana's Latest Music and Personal Life

The timing of Grande's backlash coincides with the release of her latest song from the album Eternal Sunshine, a track titled "yes, and?" While she hasn’t confirmed whether it's directly linked to her relationship with Slater, fans speculate that it addresses the media's fixation on her personal life. The pop star has a rich history of high-profile relationships, having dated notable figures like Mac Miller, Big Sean, and even being briefly engaged to comedian Pete Davidson.

Commitment to Love

Ariana's willingness to stand up for Ethan highlights her commitment to shielding those she cares about from unnecessary public judgment. As she navigates her new chapter, it remains clear that she is determined to prove that love, even when complicated, is worth fighting for. What’s next for this dynamic couple?
