The disclosure of Ethan Slater‘s relationship with Ariana Grande seemingly prompted him to make his Instagram account private. Just hours after learning that Grande had moved on with the actor following her separation from husband Dalton Gomez, Slater closed off his account on Thursday, limiting access to just his 84,000 followers.
Ethan Slater expressed condolences to his wife of four years, Lilly Jay, on Instagram before making it public, but a source close to the issue claims they are already divorced.

Are Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater dating?
Ethan and Ariana just recently began dating. The source from E! News confirmed that they get along well and enjoy each other’s company a lot. They didn’t start dating until after both had split up with their partners. Dalton and Ariana are still close, as mentioned in the report.
