As a reader deeply moved by Lilly Jay’s heartfelt essay, I find myself utterly captivated by her strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Her journey, filled with trials and tribulations, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human heart.

Ariana Grande shared an exclusive backstage look at the Wicked production, yet one key cast member seemed noticeably missing – her boyfriend Ethan Slater.

In the recent batch of a dozen photos and videos, there was no sign of Slater. His absence was noticed following the revelation by his former wife, Lilly Jay, about their surprising relationship, which she discussed just a few days ago.

In the summer of 2023, news about Ariana Grande’s relationship with Dalton Gomez’s ex-partner, Slater, garnered attention. This development occurred shortly after Grande ended her relationship with Dalton and Slater filed for divorce from his longtime partner, Jay, with whom he has a child.

On Thursday, Jay disclosed that she relocated to London along with her two-month-old son, as Slater was filming Wicked. However, he ended up leaving her for Grande after they crossed paths on the movie set.

As a dedicated follower, I understand that although reports suggest both Ariana and Ethan felt somewhat relieved when Jay chose not to fully incriminate them in her article, Ariana herself appeared to steer clear of bringing Ethan into the limelight while showcasing her delightful moments from Wicked.

The post featured snaps with costars Cynthia Erivo, Bowen Yang, and others, but no sign of Slater.

A month since the release of the wicked movie, and it’s all thanks to your incredible affection and warm welcome! We appreciate you just as much.” – Ariana’s message in the post.

Simultaneously, Lilly penned in her essay, ‘I boldly ventured to another nation with my two-month-old baby and spouse to advance his profession. Overwhelmed by the charm and routine of early motherhood, I failed to grasp the widening gap between us.’

She conveyed that certain days feel overwhelming due to the persistent reminders of a film linked to the most melancholic periods in her life, as she grapples with the unexpected collapse of her marriage in the public eye.

She expressed that just as no one enters marriage anticipating divorce, similarly, nobody boards a plane with the expectation of it crashing.

In a reflective moment, I found myself referring to Ethan and Ariana when I admitted, “I honestly didn’t envision myself going through a divorce.

‘More so, not only following the birth of my first child but also amidst the backdrop of my spouse’s recent romance with a famous figure.’

During this time of disbelief and sorrow, more than a year since the dissolution of my marriage became known, I find myself yearning for the hidden existence I crafted as a psychologist, focusing on women’s mental health.

Afterward, Jay clarified that the nature of her partnership with Ethan had evolved, but they continued to share parenthood responsibilities as they raised their son together.

We’re equally devoted to our son all the time, no matter how our parenting responsibilities are allocated.

As a devoted parent, I’ve shared more insights on my journey through motherhood following divorce. In my own words, ‘My days with my son are bright and filled with sunshine. I’ve found that while motherhood consumes my time, it doesn’t occupy my thoughts.’

During the many moments I lull my son to sleep, guide his pram, and admire his tiny, damp hands holding a crayon, I put in countless hours refining my personal endeavor – coming to terms with the unexpected collapse of my marriage into the public eye.

The psychologist went on to say in the essay, ‘I reassure myself that there’s no reason to feel embarrassed or conceal this.’

Later on, Jay openly shared her struggles with readers following the arrival of her son, as she navigated through post-partum depression while going through a separation.

Lilly expressed concern that the loss of control and postpartum depression might wreak havoc on her entire adult existence.

She also wrote about how the split affected her job and reflected on ‘the unfairness of a public divorce.’ 

Over time, I’ve come to understand that even though our planned life together didn’t happen as we thought it would, a life filled with sweet moments awaits me and my child instead.

She explained, “Just like a sponge works best at soaking up water when it’s already slightly damp, perhaps we can view my complicated, less than private life as such. A touch of my grief, anger, helplessness, sorrow serves as a means to absorb your own.

During her pregnancy with her son, Jay wrote that she had never been happier and at the same time, was acutely conscious of just how fragile happiness can be.

Additionally, Lilly shared that she overcame preeclampsia, a potentially fatal pregnancy complication, ultimately completing her family’s journey. Her tale underscores the anxiety that can arise from focusing on the wrong concerns.

Following the release of Lilly’s essay, it was reported by DailyMail.com that Slater and Grande felt ‘grateful’ as she didn’t implicate them negatively in her work.

It’s obvious that Ethan and Ariana know exactly what transpired, since anyone present during the event is also aware. Lilly openly stated that she relocated to London with him, and from then on, events unfolded as clearly shown in the timeline.

The source mentioned, ‘They were caught getting intimate on camera while Lilly was already absent from the set. Consequently, it’s not difficult for people to deduce that Lilly wasn’t necessary anymore.’

In relation to their divorce, a part of the agreement kept Jay from revealing specific details about the circumstances leading up to it. However, it allowed her to express and discuss her feelings about the situation.

During the court case, Lily found herself largely muted, unable to express herself openly. Remarkably, despite these challenging conditions, it was stated that she emerged victorious from the divorce.

The source continued by sharing Jay showed ‘dignity’ by not publicly talking about ‘the affair.’ 

She anticipates that someday her son might come across this information online, and she wished for him to find that her initial and only comments were made with respect and elegance.

Regarding the ‘sponge’ analogy in the article, the person close to the situation mentioned that it was actually a jab directed at her former partner. Notably, he portrayed the role of Spongebob Squarepants on Broadway.

They mentioned that the ‘sponge’ analogy was a cleverly veiled critique of the current circumstances, and now that her story has been revealed, she feels a sense of freedom.

‘The source stated that despite being contacted by numerous media outlets, Lilly preferred not to grant an interview until she felt prepared. She desired to manage her story personally and narrate it at her own pace, which is exactly what she accomplished.’

After publishing the essay, Ethan faced criticism from fans on social media due to what they considered a “seriously disappointing” handling of Lilly.

In a post about topic X, it was stated, ‘Ethan Slater is a truly awful individual. I can’t comprehend why some people are standing up for him, and I must admit that there isn’t a man on Earth, certainly not Ethan, who deserves any of this.’

In my fervor as a fan, I exclaimed, ‘I didn’t realize Lily Jay was a therapist! Her writing is exceptional. Ethan Slater, on the other hand, is subpar, and I sincerely hope Ariana opens her eyes to see that a man who abandons his postpartum wife isn’t forever material, if you know what I mean.’

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my strong feelings about Ethan Slater. In my humble opinion, he’s the kind of individual who might struggle in long-term relationships. I have a feeling that his connection with Ariana won’t last beyond the next twelve months, mark my words.

‘Ethan Slater’s actions are deeply disappointing and disrespectful to his wife, especially after all she’s been through,’ another said.
