Ariana Grande's rumored boyfriend Ethan Slater has filed for divorce from his wife Lily Jay

The new reports come less than a week after Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were rumored to be dating after filming Wicked last year.

Ariana Grande's rumored boyfriend Ethan Slater has filed for divorce from his wife of five years, Lily J. Court documents, which the media outlet claims have obtained, apparently show that he filed a formal complaint on Wednesday, July 26, just days after rumors of his and Ariana's relationship surfaced online. Ethan, 31, reportedly met Ariana, 30, on the set of the highly anticipated film Wicked, which began filming in England earlier this year.

The romance rumor comes after reports surfaced that the "Thank You, Next" singer and her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, had split. The two were rumored to be on bad terms for a while, but that intimacy didn't help. "She lived happily in Los Angeles for several years. She wanted to spend her life there with Dalton," a source close to the pop superstar told PEOPLE on July 17. But Ariana and Dalton's commitment to their careers seems to have driven a wedge between them.

"It's definitely been a problem for them," the source claimed. "Dalton's career [as a luxury real estate agent] has been tough and he hasn't been able to leave Los Angeles very often." "So when [Ariana] started filming 'Wicked' in England, they ended up in a long-term marriage." The source added that there was no bad blood between Ariana and Dalton and that Dalton was fully supportive of Ariana throughout their relationship.

Meanwhile, Ethan and Lily were high school sweethearts who married in 2018 and had a son in 2022. According to Page Six, Lily is reportedly "blindsided" by her split from Ethan. "It's horrible. ... He's a horrible person," the publication's source claimed. The insider also claimed that there was "nothing wrong" between Ethan and Lily, leading many to believe that Ariana was the cause of their split.

According to Us Weekly, Ethan told Lily about his unconfirmed romance with the former Nickelodeon star days before the news broke. However, someone else said
