ToggleEthan Slater & Lilly Jay are officially divorced.
The Spamalot actor, 31 and his ex-wife finalized their divorce on Thursday, Sept. 12, after five years of marriage, according to a report by TMZ. Slater started dating his Wicked movie co-star, Ariana Grande, earlier this year after separating from Jay.
Slater and Jay, who began dating in 2012, filed for divorce in New York but the details of their settlement remain private. The two married in November 2018 and have a son, born in August 2022.
Slater and Jay’s representatives have not responded to People’s request for further information as of Friday.
Ethan Slater filed for divorce from Lilly Jay in New York City on July 26, according to TMZ. The reason for their split wasn’t mentioned. The Channel 47 team reached out to both Slater and Jay for comments at the time.
Although Slater’s Instagram is now private, he had previously shared several posts with Jay including a Mother’s Day post. In that post which Ariana Grande had liked, he wrote, “Happy first Mother’s Day to the most loving, caring and wonderful mom/person in the world – from me and this little guy.”
A few months before, Slater announced that he and Jay had welcomed their first child by sharing a picture of a onesie with the words “Wicked Cute” on it.
He also marked their fourth wedding anniversary with a tribute to Jay, calling her his “best friend.” In the post, he wrote, “4 years married, 10 years together. And this is easily the best (and most bizarre) year yet.”

Ariana Grande and her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, 28, separated in July 2023 after nearly two years of marriage. According to a source, they have been “quietly and lovingly working on their friendship” since the split. Their divorce was finalized in early October 2023, just a few weeks after filing.
Since Grande and Slater’s relationship became public, they’ve been keeping things low-profile. A source in September 2023 mentioned that they are “just trying to navigate their new relationship in private.”
