According to Page Six, Grande and Slater met while filming the upcoming film adaptation of "Wicked" in London.
Ariana reportedly started dating Ethan after her split from her ex-husband Dalton Gomez, whom she reached a settlement with in October.
Like Grande, Slater also recently separated from his ex-wife, Lilly Jay, before they started dating. Ethan and Jay share an 11-month-old son.
In October, Us Weekly reported that the two were already living together. Ethan allegedly informed his friends and Jay that he's living with Ariana full-time in New York.
"They're really happy and good for each other. All of her friends love him," an insider told the outlet at the time.
Over the years, Ariana Grande reportedly dated "a myriad of men" before settling down with Gomez in May 2021.
The "Into You" singer dated "Riverdale" actor Graham Phillips, "MTV" star Jai Brooks, English singer Nathan Sykes, rapper Big Sean, backup dancer Ricky Alvarez, late rapper Mac Miller, "Saturday Night Live" star Pete Davidson and singer Mikey Foster before marrying Gomez.
However, Grande's marriage to Gomez also came to an end.
Meanwhile, Ariana was reportedly told in August to "take things slower" with her new boyfriend Ethan, per Us Weekly.
"Ariana's been told it's too soon to go public with him and to take things slower," a source said before adding, "She's very aware of how she's perceived by her fans and she's trying to be mature. [But] if it were up to her, she'd be seen with him tomorrow."
