11 Men Ariana Grande Has Dated, Including New Boyfriend Ethan Slater

The singer then attempted a long-distance relationship with Aussie YouTube star Jai Brooks from 2012 to 2014. Following their breakup, Brooks took to Twitter to blast Grande in a lengthy message and even accused her of cheating on him with Nathan Sykes, according to Us Weekly. "Yes, I was cheated on. Yes, it does suck. Yes, I was left for another man," Brooks wrote. "Nathan may be a top bloke or a sweet person, but what he did was just completely wrong. He interfered with my life and did not respect my relationship; his actions caused me to not be able to sleep at night and not see the world as a beautiful place. Nathan, if you read this, when you hold her hand, you better hold it tight because you are holding my world. I do wish you two happiness and a good life and hope everything works out."

Grande then released a YouTube video in response to Brooks's accusations. "I feel like how he handled it was a bit unexpected, but at the end of the day, my family, my friends, and my true fans know the type of person that I am," she said. "Those kind of accusations being thrown at me are completely false. More than anything, just hurtful and shocking."

Still, it wasn't very long until rumors that Grande was dating Mac Miller began swirling. The pair initially started off as friends and collaborated on music together, but in August 2016, the duo were spotted kissing during a romantic sushi date in Encino, CA. There were also rumors that the couple might have gotten engaged after Grande debuted a diamond sparkler on her ring finger during her Manchester concert in June 2017.

Neither Grande nor Miller ever confirmed the reports, but by May 2018, the pair had gone their separate ways. "Hi! This is one of my best friends in the whole world and favorite people on the planet Malcolm McCormick," Grande wrote on Instagram in a since-deleted post, confirming their split. "I respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us! Unconditional love is not selfish. It is wanting the best for that person even if at the moment, it's not you."

Shortly after, Miller died from an accidental drug overdose at age 26 in September 2018.

Rumors of a romance between Grande and Mikey Foster first began swirling in August 2019 when they had a steamy makeout session in the singer's "Boyfriend" music video. The two were then spotted hanging out together on multiple outings, and Foster even joined Grande on her "Sweetener" world tour with his band, Social House. It wasn't until a month later, though, that Grande's brother, Frankie, confirmed their relationship to Us Weekly. "I love Mikey. I think he's a really sweet guy. So talented. So kind and so caring," he told the outlet. "He's a great guy." However, he later backtracked in a now-deleted tweet, saying Grande was actually single at the time. In February 2020, though, they were spotted walking arm in arm at Disneyland, but they apparently broke up soon after.

Shortly after news broke of Grande and Gomez's separation, People reported on July 20 that she had moved on with her "Wicked" costar Slater (who plays Boq in the film).

Grande and Slater reportedly only started dating after the singer and Gomez separated definitively in January. Slater had also already reportedly separated from his wife of four years, Lilly Jay, whom he shares one child with — a son named Ezra, who was born in August 2022.

While the pair has kept their relationship incredibly under wraps, they were spotted walking arm-in-arm while on a date night at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, on Sept. 22 in photos obtained by TMZ. Then, in October, TMZ published photos of the pair having a romantic dinner date in New York City, proving they're still going strong.
