In a candid article for The Cut, Lilly Jay, the ex-wife of Ethan Slater, revealed everything, calling the dissolution of her marriage “one of the saddest days of my life.”
Lilly Jay on the end of her marriage
According to People, Lilly, a clinical psychologist, penned an emotional essay about her six years of marriage to Ethan and their two-year-old son. They were high school sweethearts, and in 2022, Lilly moved to the UK to help Ethan, who was playing Boq in the Wicked movie.
Reflecting on the collapse of their marriage, Lilly wrote that the days she can’t escape the ‘promotion of a movie’ associated with the ‘saddest days’ of her life are ‘darker’. Lilly had moved to the UK when their son was only 2 months old. She writes about being ‘consumed’ by the ‘magic and mundanity of new motherhood’ to understand their distance.
She wrote, “Days with my son are sunny. Motherhood, I have learned, fills your time but not your mind. Both of us fiercely love our son 100 percent of the time, regardless of how our parenting time is divided.”
Lilly added, “In this season of shock and mourning, over a year after the end of my marriage was made public, I deeply miss the life of invisibility I created for myself as a psychologist specializing in women’s mental health. And especially not in the shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.”
Ethan Slater’s romance with Ariana Grande
Since it was made public in 2023, Ethan and Ariana’s romance has been the subject of intense investigation. Ariana was married to Dalton Gomez at the time of this news, and Ethan was married to Lilly.
The couple has defended their relationship despite frequently receiving criticism. The pair has faced more criticism as a result of Lilly sharing her side of the incident.
Days before Ethan filed for divorce from Lilly, Ariana made her split with Dalton public. Recently, Ethan and Ariana costarred in the November 22 premiere of Wicked in India.
