Ariana Grande Opens Up About Relationship Rumors: 'It’ll Never Be Unpainful'
HuffPost
Despite ongoing speculation about her love life, the "Wicked" star is determined to shut down hurtful tabloid narratives.
Ariana Grande says the rumors she’s endured while living in the public eye never get any less “unpainful.”
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter for a new cover story, the two-time Grammy winner opened up about facing criticism stemming from her rumored relationship with boyfriend and “Wicked” costar Ethan Slater, and how the drama has affected her emotionally.
“It’ll never be unpainful,” Grande said of the gossip. “But also, I walk with the awareness that I’m an artist and this is a path that I’ve chosen, and so I just try to protect myself so that I never start to resent the art.”
The pop star and Slater have kept their relationship largely under wraps. Grande was previously married to real estate broker Dalton Gomez. The pair finalized their divorce in March 2024.
Slater also was married to therapist Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a young child. Slater and Jay settled their divorce in September 2024.
