Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Are ‘Very Much Together,’ Singer Is ‘Ready to Take the Next Step’

Wicked lovers Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are shutting down breakup rumors, with friends buzzing they’re going to make things official in early 2026 — and hope to welcome a baby soon after!

Despite months of online speculation that their relationship is in trouble, “they’re still very much together, and Ariana is telling everyone that she’s ready to take the next step with Ethan,” a source tells the National Enquirer. “She’s been dropping hints that it’s time for him to put a ring on her finger.”

The “Love Me Harder” songbird, 32, even shared a sweet snap of her and Ethan, 33, at the London premiere of their new movie, Wicked: For Good, on Instagram.

Although things didn’t work out with her ex-husband, real estate agent Dalton Gomez, “Ariana is still very much pro-marriage,” says the source. “And Ethan seems to be just as all in and he’s very doting so everyone’s expecting that he will propose soon.”

While they’re clearly very much a couple, “they don’t really put their relationship out in public much because they get a lot of hate and that’s just very hard to take,” the insider says.

As readers know, the couple first got together in July 2023, shortly after they had both separated from their then-spouses, Dalton and Ethan’s ex Lilly Jay.

But even though they’ve been staying out of the spotlight, they’ve been building a life together, and are now ready to take the next step.

According to our insider, “Ariana doesn’t want a big wedding this time, and they actually might just elope and not have anything except a honeymoon to celebrate.

“Since she usually gets what she wants, odds are there’ll be a diamond under the tree for her this Christmas,” the source says. “And once they are married, a baby is next on her list — she’s ready for the whole enchilada.”
