Ariana Grande and her rumored beau Ethan Slater didn't hide their romance on the set of "Wicked," but the timeline of the relationship has come into question.

A source told The Daily Mail that Ethan and Lilly Jay, his wife of five years, were still together when his "affair" with the pop star began. "They were sloppy on set," a source said. "They were seen being all over each other while he was still supposedly happily married to Lilly."The insider claims Ariana and Ethan were somewhat reckless with their relationship in public several times."They were seen making out at a pub in Hampstead, and they were all over each other at Michelle Yeoh's Oscar party [in March,]" the source claimed.

However, a third source claimed otherwise and insisted the new duo didn't begin dating until they were both single. While it's unknown when Ethan and Lilly actually separated, he did honor her in May on Instagram, calling her "the most loving caring and wonderful mom/person in the world."Interestingly, a Mail source detailed that Lilly was actually aware of her husband's affair."There was a period when they were all going to try and work on their marriages and put the whole thing behind them," the insider claimed. "She thought they were happy.

But that did not work out [because Ariana and Ethan] kept the affair going despite [that]."There have also been reports that Ethan and Lily even had double dates with Ariana and her estranged husband, Dalton Gomez.Ethan filed for divorce from Lilly last week.
