Ethan Slater<\/strong> is said to be struggling to keep up with Ariana Grande<\/strong>\u2019s glamorous life nearly a month after Star<\/em> exclusively<\/a> revealed that he was spotted out with his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe sometimes wonders if he should have stayed in his quieter world,\u201d a source told the Daily Mail<\/em><\/a> in a story published on Wednesday, October 1.<\/p>\n

Slater, 33, reportedly split<\/a> from his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay<\/strong>, after five years of marriage in July 2023, when he began dating his Wicked<\/em> costar, 32, following her split from her husband of two years, Dalton Gamez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But the spotlight on his new romance was a lot harsher than the actor expected, another insider told the Daily Mail<\/em>, adding that the \u201cthank u, next\u201d singer\u2019s hectic schedule \u2014 Grande is currently preparing to embark on her Eternal Sunshine tour<\/a> next year \u2014 is also causing issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loves her, but he\u2019s drowning in the circus of her life,\u201d the insider explained to the outlet. \u201cHe\u2019s used to a controlled Broadway stage, not sold-out arenas screaming for [her] every move. It\u2019s exhausting just watching him try to keep up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail<\/em> also reported that Slater has repaired his relationship with his ex and the pair are successfully co-parenting their 3-year-old son.<\/p>\n

As Star<\/em> previously reported, Slater looked \u201creally happy\u201d while spending time with Jay and the child in Jersey City, New Jersey on September 5. Two days later, Grande hit the MTV VMAs<\/a> with her entourage \u2014 which did not include Slater, according to the Daily Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
