Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have taken their relationship to the next level, with the Dangerous Woman singer now living with her Wicked co-star in New York City as he prepares for his starring role in the upcoming Broadway production of Spamalot.

It comes 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 her real estate broker husband Dalton Gomez have yet to file divorce documents to officially terminate their four-year marriage.

Ariana and Ethan are said to be ‘stuck together’ after their secret romance was made public, preventing them from returning to their respective marriages.

‘Ariana is living with a married man right now while she is still married,’ a source close to the situation tells DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘It seems as if Ariana is holding onto Dalton in case things with Ethan don’t work. It is just so strange that she is living with Ethan and has not filed documents to end it with Dalton.’

The pair met in December 2022 on the UK set of the film adaptation of the smash-hit Broadway musical Wicked, in which Ariana plays Glinda – the good witch – alongside Ethan as munchkin Boq.

Last week People magazine reported that the pair were strictly ‘friends’ until after they split with their respective spouses.

But a separate source said those claims were ‘absolutely untrue’ adding that there were ‘receipts to prove it.’

‘Ariana and Ethan never intended for their relationship to go public,’ the second source told DailyMail.com.

‘They were hoping to keep it a secret and go back to their marriages as if nothing had happened. But this was not possible because they got caught.

‘Now they are stuck together and have really nothing in common with each other. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.’

DailyMail.com has contacted Ariana, Ethan, Dalton and Lilly.

Out of the spotlight: After news of the relationship broke, the Broadway star set his Instagram account — which the God Is A Woman singer follows — to private

Both couples announced they had split within a few days of each other back in July, with Ariana announcing her separation from Dalton just three days before confirming her new relationship with Ethan, who then filed for divorce from Lilly.

He cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of their newborn son.

Multiple sources who witnessed Ariana and Ethan’s lovefest told DailyMail.com that they were being ‘sloppy’ on and off set, including at an Oscars party back in March.

‘They were seen being all over each other while he was still supposedly happily married to Lilly,’ they said.

‘They were seen making out at a pub in Hampstead, and they were all over each other at Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar party [in March].’

Ethan and Lilly – who was his high-school sweetheart – got married in 2018 before welcoming a baby boy in August 2022.

He gushed about his soon-to-be ex-wife on their fourth wedding anniversary three months later in November, with Ariana liking the since-deleted post.

Cosy: DailyMail.com obtained a photo of Ariana and Ethan celebrating her 30th birthday together in the British countryside on June 27 – weeks before they announced their splits

Ariana and Dalton went public with their relationship in 2020 before tying the knot at her Montecito mansion in May 2021.

The pair were pictured together eating crepes at a local eatery in London in February this year, around the same time that Ethan was spotted with Lilly and their son.

The two couples would double date together during filming in the UK, with Lilly hanging out with members of Ariana’s family.

In March, Ariana was pictured with Ethan on a stroll around London with his son and was even seen pushing the stroller.

A photo, taken by a fan, shows Ariana giving a peace sign. The stroller, however, was cropped out of the original photo.

Lilly was not present with them for their outing.

‘Ariana and Dalton went on double dates with Ethan and Lilly several times – and they were seen out by cast members,’ a  source previously told DailyMail.com. ‘Lilly and Ethan also met Ariana’s family together, including her mom and her brother.’

The insider added that Ariana ‘hung out’ with Lilly and her newborn baby multiple times before her romance with Ethan was revealed – and even told those around her how much she ‘wanted a baby one day’ after bonding with Lilly and Ethan’s.

Photos from Michelle’s Oscar’s party on March 13 show Ethan with his arm on Ariana’s lap, with the couple arriving and leaving together.

Lilly and Dalton were not at the party and sources say they were not invited.

Aerial images taken on the set of Wicked in May showed the pair strolling towards their trailers together.

And on June 27, Ariana was spotted with her arm around Ethan at private members’ club, Soho Farmhouse in the UK, where they celebrated her 30th birthday.

Neither Lilly, nor Dalton, were invited to celebrate along with them.

Divorcing: Lilly Jay and Ethan – who married four years ago after meeting in 2012 – welcomed a son last August

Ariana doubled down on her shock split from Dalton by deleting all photos of their wedding from Instagram.

Sources said that they tried to fix their marriage ‘months ago but it ‘failed.’ It was also claimed Dalton had flown to London in January in a last-ditch effort to save the pair’s marriage.

It was suggested that Ethan and Lilly also tried to fix their marriage prior to starting divorce proceedings, but sources later denied this to DailyMail.com.

‘They did not work out [because Ariana and Ethan] kept the affair going despite [that],’ a source said at the time.

In the wake of Ethan filing divorce, Lilly spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com, revealing that she was attempting to move past her heartbreak and instead focus on raising her son as a single mother.

‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son. This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus,’ she said.

Ethan and Ariana went off radar following the news that they were dating, but the pair returned to social media last week, with Ethan scrubbing all trace of Lilly.

All over: Ariana shocked fans on July 17 by announcing she and husband Dalton had split. She has since deleted all trace of him from her Instagram account

He simply posted a video from Spamalot rehearsals in New York City, which debuts on Broadway in mid-November.

Ariana, who has primarily been posting about her new line of makeup, liked Ethan’s post.

This is not the first time that Ariana has faced allegations of infidelity. Her ex, Jai Brooks, accused the Thank U, Next singer of cheating on him in 2013 with The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes.

‘Yes I was cheated on. Yes it does suck. 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 has been tough 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 the late Glee star, Naya Rivera.

In her autobiography, Naya wrote: ‘We’d been fighting for five straight days while he was traveling, and then on the one day that he was back in LA he said he didn’t want to see me.

‘Well, a‑‑hole, I’ve got a key to your house. I walk in, go downstairs, and guess what little girl is sitting cross-legged on the couch listening to music? … It rhymes with “Smariana Schmande.”‘

Ariana denied the relationship, insisting that she only started dating Big Sean after he split from Naya.

In 2016, Ariana began dating DJ Mac Miller and the two stayed together until 2018.

Three weeks after Ariana and Mac split, she confirmed that she was in a relationship with Pete Davidson. The pair were engaged within a matter of weeks.

The pair separated when Mac died of a drug overdose at his home in LA in September 2018.

Ariana later addressed Mac’s death in her song, Thank U, Next, which was written about all of the men who she dated. She sang: ‘Wish I could say thank you to Malcolm, cuz he was an Angel’.
