 
Ariana Grande has finally broken her silence over criticism on Ethan Slater relationship after a year.
The Wicked costarâs romance made headlines last year amid their respective divorces.Â
However, now Grande has come forward to fire back to the haters, clarifying that the claims saying Slater left his wife, Lilly Jay, to date her, are incorrect.
In a joint cover story with Cynthia Ervio, published on Vanity Fair on Monday, Grande defended her relationship, saying, âThe most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version of [our relationship]."
âThere couldnât be a less accurate depiction of a human being than the one that the tabloids spread about him,â she said of Slater.
The 7 Rings singer went on to express, âNo one on this earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about.
âThere is no one on this earth with a better heart. And that is something that no bullsât tabloid can rewrite in real life,â she concluded.
Grande further added that she is not the âevil divaâ which some portray her to be.
âThe back-and-forth throughout the course of my career has been really hard to navigate mentally,â she added, claiming that tabloids have been âtrying to destroyâ her since her teens.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's romance first made headlines in July 2023.
