Ethan Slater's Ex-Wife Opens Up About Divorce And Actor's Romance With Ariana Grande
HuffPost
Lilly Jay broke her silence on her highly scrutinized split from the "Wicked" actor in an emotional essay for The Cut.
Lilly Jay, the ex-wife of “Wicked” actor Ethan Slater, is sharing her take on the former couple’s highly scrutinized divorce for the first time publicly.
In a lengthy essay published by The Cut on Thursday, Jay acknowledged she’d experienced “a season of shock and mourning” following the end of her marriage that had been exacerbated by the media frenzy over Slater’s romance with his “Wicked” co-star Ariana Grande.
“No one gets married thinking they’ll get divorced, in the same way we don’t board a plane expecting to crash,” she wrote. “But I really never thought I would get divorced. Especially not just after giving birth to my first child and especially not in the shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.”
Jay, a clinical psychologist specializing in women’s health, notably does not mention Slater or Grande by name throughout the piece. Still, she suggests her grief has been mitigated by her duties as a mom to the 2-year-old son she shares with Slater.
“Slowly but surely, I have come to believe that in the absence of the life I planned with my high-school sweetheart, a lifetime of sweetness is waiting for me and my child,” she wrote. “While our partnership has changed, our parenthood has not. Both of us fiercely love our son 100 percent of the time, regardless of how our parenting time is divided.”
