Sources shot down rumors that Ethan Slater got back together with ex-wife, Lilly Jay. Insiders said the pair connects just as co-parents and nothing more.
A wave of online speculation claimed the former couple had quietly reunited after their highly publicized split. However, sources close to the situation say those rumors are completely false.
Ethan Slater and Lilly Jay are not back together despite renewed reconciliation rumors, sources said
Ethan Slater has not reconciled with Lilly Jay, sources close to his ex-wife told TMZ. Blind items had circulated online suggesting the two rekindled things after his split from Ariana Grande. Those sources dismissed the chatter outright, saying flatly that reconciliation was “absolutely not” happening.
Lilly noticed the speculation herself, according to the outlet. Her camp pushed back hard, insisting nothing about the claims held up. They also stressed that Slater has not attempted to rekindle the relationship.
Sources said the speculation grew from a misunderstanding of the pair’s co-parenting relationship. According to them, fans mistook their co-parenting dynamic for a romantic reconciliation. Slater and Jay, who dated as high school sweethearts, share a child and still coordinate around family duties. According to the sources, their relationship is strictly focused on co-parenting their child.
Their split attracted heavy scrutiny back in July 2023. Slater’s romance with Grande went public around the same time, and both marriages ended amid the fallout. The Wicked star and the singer met on set, and their relationship was all over the headlines for months. Jay, meanwhile, stepped back from public view and has kept a low profile since.
The report also noted that Grande sparked reconciliation rumors with ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez after the two were spotted together in New York City in July.
The timing fueled fresh speculation about Slater and Jay, with gossip accounts quickly spreading reconciliation rumors. However, sources close to Jay insist there is no romantic reunion between the former couple.
