Ariana Grande got slammed by her boyfriend Ethan Slater’s estranged wife, Lilly Jay, who broke her silence about the pair’s new romance amid their divorce.
“[Ariana’s] the story really. Not a girl’s girl,” Lilly said in a statement on Thursday, July 27. “My family is just collateral damage. … The story is her and Dalton [Gomez].”
Lilly then clarified that she is focusing on continuing to be a “good mom” to her and Ethan’s baby boy, whom the former couple welcomed in August 2022.
One day prior, Ethan, 31, filed for divorce from Lilly after nearly five years of marriage, In Touch confirmed. The Broadway alum filed for a contested divorce on Wednesday, July 26, according to court records viewed by In Touch. The case is currently pending and Ethan did not provide a reason for his and Lilly’s split.
Lilly has unfortunately been caught up in a public firestorm ever since news broke of Ethan and Ariana’s new romance, which surfaced online on July 20, just days after the pop star, 30, was spotted at Wimbledon without her wedding ring. Ariana and Dalton split earlier this year shortly after she and Ethan began filming for the upcoming live-adaptation of Wicked.
Just two months before Ethan’s new relationship status was revealed, the former SpongeBob Squarepants Broadway star consistently praised Lilly on social media. However, he recently switched his Instagram profile to private mode shortly after his and Ariana’s relationship broke the internet.
In November 2022, Lilly and Ethan celebrated 10 years of being together, as the two were originally high school sweethearts. In his public tribute, Ethan gushed over Lilly, writing, “My best friend. Four years married. 10 together. And this is easily the best (and most bizarre) yet,” alongside a gallery of photos together.
