In early September, PEOPLE reported that Grande and Slater's relationship was still going strong and has been "much different than what has been portrayed."

“While this entire situation has been blown out of proportion, it’s much different than what has been portrayed in public,” a friend of the couple told PEOPLE.

“They are just trying to navigate their new relationship in private,” the source continued.

“People have tried to question the timeline,” a close family friend said of the relationship between Grande and Slater, who were friends and costars before they began dating. 

The pair's romance started after Grande’s separation from her husband Dalton Gomez and Slater’s separation from his wife Lilly Jay. “The truth is, Ariana and Ethan didn’t begin seeing each other until after both parties were separated, respectfully,” continues the close family friend. 

An additional source close to the situation told PEOPLE that the couple "are doing their best to balance the fact that they are in the public eye with the desire to be respectful to all parties involved.”

Grande and Slater initially met on set of the upcoming Wicked film adaptation and were confirmed to be dating by PEOPLE in July.
