Ariana Grande Dating Ethan Slater: Source
An Entertainment Tonight source supported the rumors that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are dating each other.
"Ariana and Ethan recently started dating. They have a lot in common and have a lot of fun," the source claims. "They didn't start dating until both were broken up with their significant others. Ariana and Dalton remain friends."
It was quite bizarre to think that Slate and Grande are dating considering that the latter liked the Tony-nominated actor's Instagram post about his anniversary tribute to his wife. Since the rumors circulated that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are dating, the latter made his Instagram account private.
Meanwhile, neither Ariana Grande nor Ethan Slater has confirmed the veracity of the reports and wether it is true that Slater did in fact break up too with his wife.
