Ariana Grande'S Fast-Paced Career Leaves Ethan Slater Struggling To Keep Up, Insider Reveals

Love in the Fast Lane: Ethan's Struggles with Ariana's Busy Life

Ariana Grande's boyfriend, Ethan Slater, is reportedly finding it tough to keep up with the pop sensation's relentless work schedule. The two lovebirds originally met on the set of "Wicked," sparking a whirlwind romance that quickly became the talk of the town.

According to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, Slater is now questioning his relationship with the 32-year-old singer. The demands of Grande's career seem to be taking a toll on the "Gen V" actor.

“He loves her, but he’s drowning in the circus of her life,” the insider revealed. “He’s used to a controlled Broadway stage, not sold-out arenas screaming for every move.”

Juggling Careers and Personal Life

Ariana's packed schedule includes rehearsals for "Wicked: For Good," arena tours, and numerous media appearances. The insider noted that Slater is "mentally halfway through the tour or rehearsals, even when he’s home," adding, "It’s exhausting just watching him try to keep up."

The couple's relationship is reportedly strained not only by Ariana's intense schedule but also by the looming presence of her past high-profile relationships. These elements have introduced tension into their dynamic, according to sources.

Career Gap and Personal History

The difference in their career paths is another point of contention. While Grande boasts three VMAs this year and a sold-out tour, Slater is set to reprise his role as Munchkin Boq Woodsman in the "Wicked" sequel.

Both have histories of previous marriages – Grande to Dalton Gomez and Slater to Lilly Jay – adding another layer to their complex relationship. As Grande prepares for the premiere of "Wicked: For Good" this November, the couple faces the challenge of balancing love with career aspirations.
