Ethan Slater was reportedly concerned about Ariana Grande’s health
The breakup news comes at a time when there is a major public conversation around Ariana’s weight loss and overall health. Although Ethan never spoke directly about her changed appearance in public, many reports over the past year suggested that people close to the singer were concerned about the intense scrutiny she faced online. According to multiple insider reports from entertainment outlets, Ethan reportedly felt helpless amid constant social media discussions about Ariana’s physical appearance.
The source claimed that Wicked’s hectic promotional schedule, with extensive travel and professional commitments, might have caused her stress and exhaustion. Ariana herself has addressed the public attention to her health and body. In multiple social media posts and interviews, she urged fans to avoid making comments on her physical appearance. In fact, she explained that what many considered her “healthier” look in previous years was when she was living an unhealthy lifestyle amid a difficult phase in life. Ariana also pushed back against claims that Ethan was not caring for her, calling him caring and supportive.
