Lilly Jay Discusses Ethan Slater Divorce

Ariana Grande's relationship with Ethan Slater has attracted significant media attention and controversy, particularly following Slater's divorce from his ex-wife Lilly Jay, who publicly criticized the pair's actions in an essay for The Cut. Jay expressed her shock over the sudden end of her marriage and the public scrutiny that accompanied it, stating she never expected to get divorced, especially not in the aftermath of her husband's new romance with a celebrity. She emphasized her focus on co-parenting their son and managing the emotional fallout from the split. Meanwhile, Grande has acknowledged the challenges of facing negative public perception since going public with Slater. In a separate incident, property developer Max Shepherd faced scrutiny over his friendly reunion with ex-girlfriend Dina Broadhurst, which raised questions about boundaries in relationships.
