Who Is Ariana Grande’s Boyfriend Ethan Slater?

Ariana Grande’s dating history has certainly been a whirlwind, with a string of high-profile relationships over the years. She dated The Good Wife alum Graham Phillips from 2008 to 2011, followed by The Janoskians star Jai Brooks (2012–2013) and The Wanted singer Nathan Sykes (2013).

In 2014, Grande confirmed her relationship with rapper Big Sean after months of speculation, calling him “one of the most amazing men in the whole world” in an interview with The Telegraph at the time. Although their romance was short-lived, ending in 2015, Grande later referenced their breakup in her hit “Thank U, Next,” saying, “Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match.”

After Big Sean, Grande dated backup dancer Ricky Alvarez, whom she was with during the infamous donut-licking incident in 2015. Their relationship ended in 2016, but they remained on good terms, with Grande also making reference to him in “Thank U, Next,” saying, “Wrote some songs about Ricky /
Now I listen and laugh.”

From 2016 to 2018, Grande was in a relationship with rapper Mac Miller. The couple split in May 2018, and shortly after, Grande paid tribute to Miller following his tragic death in September of that year, People reported.

In 2018, she began a whirlwind romance with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. The two got engaged just weeks after dating but ended their relationship in October 2018. Grande referenced the relationship in “Thank U, Next,” saying she was “so thankful” for him.

Grande was linked to Mikey Foster of Social House in 2019, after appearing in the “Boyfriend” music video together. The two were spotted hanging out and were confirmed to be dating in early 2020.
