Before she said “Thank U, Next” to her estranged husband, Ariana Grande allegedly took him on “several” double dates with her now-boyfriend, Ethan Slater, and his now-estranged wife.
A source claimed to DailyMail on Thursday that the “Wicked” co-stars-turned-secret lovers spent time together with their respective then-spouses, Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay, whenever they would visit them on the London set.
According to the source, these get-togethers took place on multiple occasions while the singer and the Broadway star allegedly carried on their own dalliance.
“Ariana and Dalton went on double dates with Ethan and Lilly several times — and they were seen out by cast members,” the source said.
“Lilly and Ethan also met Ariana’s family together, including her mom and her brother.”
The source went on to claim that Grande, 30, and Slater, 31, were so “sloppy” during filming that the majority of their “Wicked” castmates knew about their relationship.
“They were seen being all over each other while he was still supposedly happily married to Lilly,” the source said, noting that the couple’s alleged carelessness extended beyond the set.
“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].”
DailyMail obtained multiple photos of the pair hanging out together quite a bit while the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical was in production, including a seemingly intimate shot from Yeoh’s Oscar party.
Aerial pictures from the set taken in May show the duo strolling toward their trailers, where the source claimed they would often spend one-on-one time together.
Images from June show the Grammy winner with her arm around the “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical” star at members-only club Soho Farmhouse in the UK, where they celebrated her 30th birthday.
A source previously claimed to the outlet that Grande “hung out” with Jay and the baby boy she shares with Slater months before their alleged affair was exposed.
The Nickelodeon alum was apparently so charmed by the newborn that she allegedly told those around her that she “wanted a baby” of her own “one day.”
Pvnew confirmed last month that Grande and Gomez were divorcing after two years of marriage, with an insider telling us that they’d been separated since January. However, neither has filed the paperwork.
Days later, we confirmed she was dating Slater, with a source claiming to TMZ that they’d been seeing each other for several months.
Not even a week later, Slater filed for divorce from Jay after nearly five years of marriage.
In a subsequent interview with Pvnew, Jay branded Grande as “not a girl’s girl” and said she and her son were simply “collateral damage.”
Neither Grande nor Slater have addressed the various reports.
