Ethan Slater recently opened up in an interview with GQ about the challenges associated with the public's scrutiny of his relationship with Ariana Grande. The actor, who met Grande on the set of "Wicked," shared that navigating their romance amid his divorce from Lilly Jay was especially difficult due to public commentary and misconceptions, Page Six reported. He highlighted that those outside his circle speculated wrongly about his loved ones, making it hard to handle the changes occurring in their private lives.

Slater expressed pride in Grande, lauding her dedication to her role as Glinda in "Wicked," due in theaters soon. Despite the challenges brought by public attention, including unfounded perceptions of him and his relationship spread by tabloids, Slater remains focused on his genuine support system of "real people" rather than the opinions of online commenters. Both he and Grande have fiercely defended their relationship, pointing out inaccuracies in the public narrative.

Grande herself addressed the scandal in Vanity Fair and through her music, emphasizing that misconceptions about Slater are unfair and not reflective of his true character. Their romance, confirmed in July 2023, emerged after both went through personal separations, with Slater ensuring his actions keep in mind their son's well-being.

Despite the controversies fueled by assumptions and rumors, both Slater and Grande are eager about the present and anticipate sharing their accomplishments with the world, including forthcoming performances in "Wicked."
