Ethan Slater’s First Public Appearance After Ariana Grande Breakup

Ethan Slater knows there are brighter days ahead.

Indeed, the 34-year-old stepped out for his first public appearance after news broke of his recent split from Ariana Grande. He arrived solo to Shakespeare in the Park’s Romeo & Juliet red carpet at the Delacorte Theater in New York City on June 11.

Slater himself had no tears left to cry, as he was all smiles on the carpet. He kept his look casual, opting for a simple white t-shirt with black jeans and white sneakers. 

And the outing came days after E! News confirmed that the Wicked costars called it quits months ago. The two had initially gotten together in the summer of 2023 after meeting on the set of the musical film.

And while Slater is out supporting the New York City theater community, the 32-year-old has been busy on The Eternal Sunshine Tour, which kicked off in Oakland, Calif. on June 6.

In fact, she has been looking back at all of her past eras and relationships during her performances. Days before news of her most recent breakup went public, the “Into You” singer changed some of the lyrics while belting her hit song “thank u next.”
