Ethan Slater's Ex-Wife Exposes His Relationship With Ariana Grande While They Were Married
The full essay includes details of Jay's "life-threatening birth complication" and her decision to move "to another country with [her] 2-month-old baby and [her] husband to support his career." Jay details that she's been dealing with postpartum depression, writing, "Days with my son are sunny. Days when I can't escape the promotion of a movie associated with the saddest days of my life are darker."
While Ethan Slater was filming Wicked, in which he played Boq, and falling in love with his now-girlfriend, Lilly Jay was at home, taking care of their newborn and dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety. "Consumed by the magic and mundanity of new motherhood, I didn't understand the growing distance between us."
Ariana Grande Slammed For Cheating
While many pointed out that Slater should receive the majority of the backlash here as he is the one that cheated on his wife, many critics were quick to call out Grande, with many even pointing out this is far from the first time she's been accused of home-wrecking. "Feel so bad for Lilly Jay," one person wrote on X. "Nearly dying in childbirth, moving across the world for her husband's career, only for him to cheat and leave her for a pop star."
"Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande should be ashamed of themselves," the user continued.
"Ariana Grande is absolutely disgusting for this we stand with lily jay," another user posted.
"Ethan Slater is disgusting for cheating on his wife while she was recovering from childbirth with a newborn at home," another person agreed.
"Lilly Jay moved to another country with her 2-month-old baby to support Ethan Slater, but he still cheated on her with Ariana Grande," another added.
