The Celebrity Beat…

Ariana Grande and her “Wicked” costar, Ethan Slater, broke up after almost three years of dating. As you know, they met on the set when they were BOTH married.  Ethan played Bok / the Tin Man in the movie.

Shortly after they ended their marriages, they made their relationship public.  Sources said they did nothing wrong, and that they didn’t start dating until both marriages ended.  But Ethan’s wife felt differently.

As for Ariana and Ethan’s breakup … a source says, quote, “It’s amicable, they gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways.  They are still friends and very supportive of one another. They have been quietly broken up for several months.”

Ariana is staying pretty busy.  She kicked off her Eternal Sunshine Tour last weekend and she’s releasing her new album, “Petal”, on July 31st.  The album is allegedly NOT inspired by her relationship with Ethan.
