Ariana Grande, 30, and Ethan Slater, 31, have managed to keep their relationship under wraps, but sources reveal that sparks are flying between them. Despite being advised to take things slow, the couple is finding it difficult to keep their blossoming romance private.

An insider shared, "If it were up to her, she'd be seen with him tomorrow."

Grande's recent split from husband Dalton Gomez in January raised eyebrows, but it seems her heart has found solace with Slater. The insider disclosed that their inner circles have encouraged them to be discreet due to the involvement of Slater's ex-wife, Lilly Jay, and their son, born in August 2022.

Recent news confirms that Slater filed for divorce from Jay on July 26, and the reason behind the split remains undisclosed. Despite their separation, Slater and Jay's history adds complexity to Grande and Slater's new relationship.

Meanwhile, Gomez, 27, is reportedly still hoping for a reconciliation with Grande. The insider shared, "Although Dalton knows Ariana has moved on with Ethan, he still hasn't given up hope that they can make things work."

Friends reveal that Gomez is "still coming to terms" with the breakup and is grappling with the strong connection they once shared.
