Ariana Grande’s rumored new beau Ethan Slater ‘hopes to co-parent son’ with estranged

Ariana Grande‘s new boyfriend Ethan Slater hopes to co-parent his young son with his estranged wife Lilly Jay, it has been claimed. 

The latest revelation comes after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed how Ariana also hung out with Lilly and her son when they visited Ethan in London while he was filming Wicked. 

Ethan, 31, still speaks to Lilly every day and he also recently spent time with his nearly one-year-old son in London, TMZ reports. 

Per the report, the Broadway star is determined to be in his son’s life in a major way and wanted to release a statement to that fact amid his divorce drama. 

Meanwhile, Lilly has damned Ariana, 30, in a series of disparaging interviews. 

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the estranged spouse of the Broadway star – who welcomed a baby with Ethan in August – said she is determined to move on with her life as a single mother, without her ex-husband. 

‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,’ she said. ‘This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.’

Ariana and Ethan sparked a romance on the set of Wicked and Lilly was blindsided by the divorce, it has been claimed- especially after the Thank U Next singer spent time with her family.

Lilly’s admission comes as a source close to Ariana and Ethan claimed that the singer ‘hung out’ with Lilly and her newborn baby multiple times before her romance with her co-star was revealed – and even told those around her how much she ‘wanted a baby one day’ after bonding with Lilly and Ethan’s.

The songstress shocked the world earlier this month when it was revealed that she had moved on from her recent divorce from husband Dalton Gomez with her married Wicked co-star Ethan.

An insider close to Lilly and Ethan alleged to DailyMail.com that Ariana and Ethan’s relationship has taken a brutal toll on the new mother – who spent time with the singer on multiple occasions while visiting her husband on-set in London.

‘Lilly hung out with Ethan and Ariana so many times,’ the insider claimed. ‘Ariana met their baby and even held him. They had dinners together in London – and Ariana told Lilly that she wanted to have a baby one day and that she couldn’t wait to start a family.’

According to the source, Lilly and her newborn son traveled to London with Ethan when he began filming the project in April of this year – just eight months after she had given birth.

The insider claimed that Lilly discovered her husband had been having an affair with Ariana after that visit – but that she and Ethan made the decision to try and ‘put it behind them and work on their marriage,’ only for her to later discover that he had continued his romance with the singer.

‘There was a period when they were all going to try and work on their marriages and put the whole thing behind them,’ the source said. ‘She thought they were happy.

‘But that did not work out [because Ariana and Ethan] kept the affair going despite [that].’

The insider said that Ethan then blindsided his wife by filing for divorce, insisting that the decision to officially end the marriage was made entirely by the actor.

Ethan and Lilly were married for four years. Ariana split from her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, 27.
