Ariana Grande rumoured to be dating Wicked co-star Ethan Slater
Just days after the announcement of her split from her husband, it has been rumoured that Ariana Grande has moved on and is dating her Wicked co-star.
News of Grande's break up came just a couple of days ago, with a source telling PEOPLE magazine that she and husband Dalton Gomez are set to divorce.
The source said they actually separated earlier this year and ‘have been quietly and lovingly working on their friendship’.
It was also insinuated that Grande's work in the UK was partially to blame, with another insider saying to PEOPLE: "She was happy in Los Angeles for a couple of years. She wanted to make a life there with Dalton.

"He is super focused on his career and needs to live in Los Angeles. It's definitely been an issue for them. Dalton's career is demanding and he can't leave Los Angeles often.
"So when [Grande] started filming Wicked in England, they were in for a long-distance marriage."
While the 'Thank U, Next' singer is yet to address the news herself to fans, the rumours are already swirling surrounding her relationship status.
Sources have once again spoken to PEOPLE magazine, claiming that Grande has now moved on and is dating a co-star from the upcoming movie adaptation of the musical Wicked, which will see the star play the role of Glinda.
“Ariana and Dalton separated in January," the source says, before confirming the co-star in question is Ethan Slater.
"She and Ethan recently began dating, and he is separated from his wife."
The news comes after Grande was spotted at Wimbledon last week, minus her wedding ring.
And last year, the singer was forced to speak out over break-up rumours after once again being spotted without her wedding ring.
She said to her fans: “I'm just not wearing my wedding ring, it's getting cleaned. I'm not getting a divorce before you start, don't.”
Grande and Gomez wed two years ago following a short but whirlwind romance, with a source previously telling US Weekly that Dalton was the ‘type of guy [Ariana] had been looking for’.
“When she saw him, she immediately thought he was cute and very good-looking, and she asked her team to set up an in-person meeting with him.
“Ariana fell very hard for Dalton shortly after they met. Ariana sees something different in Dalton that she has never seen before in guys she has previously dated."
“He is the type of guy she has been looking for. He’s very protective of her, will go out of his way for her and does little things that are chivalrous. Dalton will go above and beyond to meet her needs.”
