The Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez, Ethan Slater and Lilly Jay drama has completely taken over my feed. I’m serious, I can’t look anywhere without the news cropping up on TikTok, Google, Twitter or FB. I’m exhausted, but also extremely captivated. 

For those of you who need a quick refresher on the entire saga (you can find our in-depth explainer here), here’s what you need to know: Ariana tied the knot with her luxury real estate husband Dalton Gomez in 2021, but the pair apparently separated in January 2023.

Rumours have been flying around about their upcoming divorce, with gossip account Deuxmoi claiming Dalton has been seen flirting up a storm with some rando girls in a cabana..? For a sec, I felt kinda heartbroken for Ariana, because she’s been away filming Wicked in London, and she’s been far too busy to date… OR SO I THOUGHT.

So, the next big juicy piece of goss that began flying around involves Ariana, her Wicked co-star Ethan, and his “estranged” wife Lilly Jay. According to People, Ariana and Ethan have started a new relationship, even though Ethan and Lilly welcomed their first child into the world in August 2022.

A source told ET that Lilly is “devastated” over Ethan’s rumoured romance with Ariana, and yep, that’s a pretty tough pill to swallow (if the gossip is true, ofc). Also: Ethan and Lilly were high school sweethearts, and had been together for over 10 years. Ouch. 

Ariana’s ‘break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored’ (yuh, yuh) song has defs come back to bite her, and fans have been pointing out some pretty sus timelines when it comes to the pop star’s famous exes. 

I’ve rounded up the best reactions to the Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez, Ethan Slater and Lilly Jay situation. Buckle up, it’s about to get spicy.
