Ethan Slater, who is rumoured to be dating Ariana Grande, is apparently wanting to co-parent his baby with his separated wife.
Following her divorce from spouse Dalton Gomez, the SpongeBob SquarePants actor, 31, was believed to be dating the Dangerous Woman hitmaker, 30.
Ariana was married to the estate agent for two years before splitting up when troubles surfaced in December.
Speculation quickly emerged that Ariana was already off the market, but things became unclear when it was revealed that Ethan is married.
He also has a kid with Lilly Slater, who was’surprised’ by his connection with Ariana.
According to recent reports, Ethan continues to communicate with Lilly on a daily basis.
It’s said he also recently spent time with his nearly one-year-old son in London, according to TMZ.
According to the publication, Ethan has been yearning to give his own statement in the midst of his divorce problems.
While Ariana and Ethan have yet to openly address the relationship speculations, Lilly did come out this week – and she’s not happy.
In fact, she criticised Ariana directly, stating that her top focus is her baby boy.
‘[Ariana’s] the story really. Not a girl’s girl,’ she told Page Six.
‘My family is just collateral damage.’
Speaking to DailyMail.com, the estranged spouse of the Broadway star – who gave birth in August – later said she is determined to move on with her life as a single mother.
‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,’ she added.
‘This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.’
The former couple had been dating for ten years before marrying in 2018.
Lily’s scathing remarks come amid allegations that she spent time with Ariana and her baby in the capital when Ethan and the Grammy-winning singer filmed the Wicked movie adaption together.
According to a source close to Ethan and Lilly, Ariana and Ethan’s new relationship has taken a significant toll on Lilly.
‘Lilly hung out with Ethan and Ariana so many times,’ the insider claimed.
‘Ariana met their baby and even held him. They had dinners together in London – and Ariana told Lilly that she wanted to have a baby one day and that she couldn’t wait to start a family.’
Lilly and her newborn boy came to London with Ethan when he began filming in April 2023, eight months after she gave birth, according to the source.
According to the informant, Ethan’s romance with Ariana began after the first visit.
But Sarah and Ethan decided to ‘leave everything behind them and focus on their marriage,’ only to discover that the relationship had persisted.
Reps for Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have been contacted for comment.
