Ethan Slater’s Estranged Wife Lilly Jay Breaks Silence on Their Split, Puts Ariana Grande on Blast

usmagazine.com:

Ethan Slater‘s estranged wife Lilly Jay is speaking out after news broke of their split — and his romance with Ariana Grande.“[Ariana’s] the story really.

Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage,” Jay told Page Six on Thursday, July 27, before addressing Grande’s marriage with Dalton Gomez. “The story is her and Dalton.”Jay, who shares a 12-month-old child with Slater, 31, said her focus has been on being “a good mom” amid their divorce.

Her statement comes one day after Us Weekly confirmed that Slater filed for divorce following five years of marriage.Earlier this month, Slater made headlines when news broke that he was dating his Wicked costar Grande, 30. (The actress, for her part, pulled the plug on her relationship with Gomez, 27, as well.)“Ariana and Ethan are dating; however things are fairly new.

Ariana and Dalton split in January, and Ethan is separated from his wife,” a source exclusively told Us on Tuesday, July 25. “Ariana and Ethan have only recently begun seeing each other but they have a lot of fun together and are enjoying each other’s company.”Slater and Grande, who met on set, have yet to publicly address their romance.
