Ariana’s boyfriend Ethan Slater has finalized his divorce from Lilly Jay, coming to a settlement after separating last year.
Documents obtained by TMZ showed that a judge signed off on the arrangement as of Thursday.
It comes a little over a year after the 31-year-old pop star and Broadway actor, 32, struck up a romance on the set of their upcoming multi-part movie Wicked.
Slater filed for divorce on July 26, 2023, five years after he tied the knot with Jay, his high school sweetheart.
At the time, Grande was still married to Dalton Gomez; she filed for divorce in September 2023 and listed the date of separation as February 20, 2023.

Ariana’s divorce was settled in October 2023, with the performer making a single $1,250,000 payment to Gomez in lieu of spousal support.
She also paid $25k of the real estate broker’s attorney fees.
Grande and Slater met in December 2022 on the UK set of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, in which Ariana plays Glinda — the good witch — alongside Ethan as munchkin Boq.
Both parties announced they had split from their spouses within a few days of each other.
Ariana announced her separation from Dalton just three days before confirming her new relationship with Ethan, who then filed for divorce from Lilly.
He cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of their two-year-old son.
Lilly later damned Ariana in a series of disparaging interviews, telling Page Six the music artist is ‘not a girl’s girl’ and adding that ‘my family is just collateral damage’ to her.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Lilly said last year that she was determined to move on with her life as a single mother.

Ethan showed support for his girlfriend on Friday, taking to social media to share a new Wicked trailer highlighting Ariana’s portrayal of Glinda.
He wrote in an Instagram Stories post, ‘Can’t wait for everyone to meet Galinda.’
Following backlash over the timeline of their relationship, the couple has kept a low profile.
They were most recently spotted enjoying game One of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final in June.
And in April, Ariana supported her beau as she attended the final performance of his Broadway musical Spamalot.
