Ariana Grande prioritizes music and touring after reported split from Ethan Slater
Insiders claim the breakup was mutual and handled with 'careful consideration'
Ariana Grande is reportedly focusing on positivity and her upcoming tour following news that she has ended her relationship with actor Ethan Slater, according to new reports citing sources close to the singer.
The 32-year-old pop star, who began dating her Wicked co-star in 2023, is said to be in a better emotional space as she prepares for a major return to touring after several years away from the stage.
According to People, Grande is currently experiencing “positive vibes” and is “doing great” while dedicating her time to rehearsals and preparations for her upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour, which reportedly began development earlier this month.
Sources added that the Grammy-winning artist is especially excited to reconnect with fans after a long touring break following her last major run, the Sweetener World Tour, which concluded in 2019.
While the reported breakup has drawn widespread attention, insiders claim the decision was mutual and made after “careful consideration,” with both Grande and Slater choosing to remain on friendly terms.
Despite the personal change, Grande is said to be fully focused on her professional commitments, though the transition back to touring has reportedly been “emotional” for her after nearly seven years away from live performances.
The singer is also riding a wave of musical success, following the release of her recent single, which debuted strongly on global streaming charts, further fueling anticipation for her next album era.
Neither Grande nor Slater has publicly commented on the reported split.
