Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's Relationship Timeline

By mid-year, sources confirmed that she and Slater had started dating, sparking affair rumors. Slater filed for divorce in July, and by fall, the two were spotted together in public and reportedly living together in New York.
Over the next year, Grande and Slater kept their relationship relatively private with subtle appearances and social media acknowledgements. Publicly, Slater spoke highly of Grande’s talent, especially during Wicked's press tour.
By 2025, the couple appeared more frequently together, showing up at the Oscars, SAG Awards, and other premieres. Sources have described their relationship as serious and steady. Recently, the public speculated that the two broke up, but rumors were quickly put to rest after Slater was pictured backstage during Grande's December 2025 SNLappearance.
Grande Was Married to Dalton Gomez
Grande and luxury real estate agent Dalton Gomez were first spotted cozying up in the pre-pandemic days.

In May, Gomez made a cameo in Grande and Justin Bieber's duet, "Stuck with U" music video, which included clips of fans and celebrities practicing social distancing.
Later that year, they got married and proceeded to enjoy several years of a private life together. For a time, their relationship seemed strong, but by July 2023, the couple separated. By September, their divorce was officially filed, citing irreconcilable differences.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson's Relationship
Grande’s relationship with comedian Pete Davidson was short-lived, but highly publicized. Fans were shocked when the pair were reported to be dating and then engaged just a month later in 2018. But their whirlwind romance came to an end in less than five months.
When Did Ariana Grande and Mac Miller Date?
Before Davidson, Grande shared a long relationship with the late rapper Mac Miller—a bond the public still remembers fondly. The two had been friends for years before they began dating in 2016. They broke up in May 2018, and just a few months later, in September, Miller tragically passed away from an accidental overdose. Grande was devastated by the loss.
"I adored you from the day I met you when I was 19 and I always will," Grande wrote on Instagram at the time. "I can't believe you aren't here anymore. I really can't wrap my head around it. We talked about this. So many times. I'm so mad, I'm so sad, I don't know what to do. You were my dearest friend. For so long. Above anything else. I'm so sorry I couldn't fix or take your pain away. I really wanted to. The kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. I hope you're okay now. Rest."
