Ariana Grande recently spoke openly with Vanity Fair regarding the speculation surrounding her relationship with Ethan Slater. The pair fueled dating rumors in July 2023 following their encounter during the filming of Wicked. It’s worth noting that at that point, Grande had already parted ways with her former spouse, Dalton Gomez, and Slater was also reported to be separated from his ex-spouse, Lilly Jay.

The singer expressed to the press, “It’s certainly not simpler, dealing with some of the negativity spawned by untrustworthy gossip outlets.” Grande admitted that she underwent significant personal transformations during the filming of Wicked. She pointed out that numerous others involved in the production went through similar experiences, stating, “Being away for two years provided ample opportunity for the tabloids to invent stories that kept them in business.

Additionally, Grande clarified that the popular account of her situation with Ethan Slater doesn’t align with reality, expressing disappointment that so many individuals accepted the most negative portrayal. She admitted that this part of the experience was particularly challenging for her.

In response to the inaccurate portrayals of Ethan Slater by tabloids during their relationship, the Save Your Tears singer firmly stated, “Nothing could be further from the truth about the person he is than what the tabloids have presented.” She also made it clear that she prefers not to disclose specific details.

Grandé extolled Slater, remarking, “There’s no one on earth who strives harder or stretches themselves more thin to be present for the people they love and care about.” She further stated that nobody possesses a ‘warmer heart,’ and no sensationalized tabloid story could ever alter that truth.

The artist responsible for “The Boy is Mine” also shared with the media outlet that it has required significant dedication on her part to sustain her career and address areas in her relationship with celebrity, as tabloids have attempted to undermine her since she was just 19 years old.

At the age of 31, the singer openly acknowledged that she isn’t flawless but genuinely believes she is a decent individual. She expressed pride in her personal growth, stating, “I will always strive to prevent malicious gossip magazines from negatively impacting my life or my understanding of what is true and virtuous.

Meanwhile, Wicked will be released in theaters on November 22, 2024.
