Overview
- Multiple entertainment outlets reported on Monday and Tuesday that Grande and Slater quietly broke up several months ago and remain on friendly, supportive terms.
- Sources described the decision as amicable after careful consideration, but neither star nor their representatives has issued an official statement.
- Reporters say Grande is focused on touring and new music, with the Eternal Sunshine tour under way and Petal scheduled for release next month.
- Several outlets, citing unnamed insiders and TMZ sources, say the new album was not written about the split and does not reflect their relationship.
- The relationship began after the pair met on the Wicked films and drew heavy tabloid scrutiny from the start, a history that reporters say factored into public attention and promotional sensitivities.
