Ethan Slater is out and about in NYC amid his breakup with Ariana Grande. The Wicked actor stepped out for Shakespeare in the Park's Romeo & Juliet in Central Park last night, keeping things casual in a knit t-shirt and sneakers.
Ethan’s appearance comes just a few days after sources confirmed that he and Ariana secretly broke up weeks ago—though an insider recently told the Daily Mail that “From what friends say, Ethan would have preferred the relationship continue, but Ariana has always followed her own instincts. When she’s ready to move on, she does.”
Meanwhile, another source denied cheating rumors, saying, “They fight, they drift apart, they get back together, they make up. She did not cheat on him. That’s just not true. Whatever has happened in her past, she and Ethan talk through things, and there’s no bad blood there.”
In fact, Ethan and Ari had a “passionate” romance, and “The relationship has always been up-and-down, back-and-forth, ebb and flow. I think that’s just what happens when you get two very passionate people together.”
Neither Ethan nor Ari have spoken out confirming their breakup, but love to hear they’re still getting along—at least according to a People source who said, “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.”
