The pair’s appearance comes a month after Slater’s ex-wife Lilly – with whom he shares a two-year-old son – broke her silence on his romance with his Wicked co-star.

In the essay published for The Cut, Jay also opened up emotionally about their divorce and the “public demise of her marriage.”

She wrote about moving herself and her then two-month-old son to London while Slater filmed Wicked – before leaving her for Grande after they met on the set of the film.

Both she and Slater were married for five years and welcomed their son into the world in August 2022. However, the divorce was finalized three months earlier, in September.

‘I confidently moved to another country with my two-month-old baby and my husband to support his career. Consumed by the magic and mundanity of new motherhood, I didn’t understand the growing distance between us,” Jay wrote.

She said there are “days when I can’t escape the promotion of a film related to the saddest days of my life, which are darker” as she tries to “come to terms with the sudden public demise of my marriage.”

“No one gets married expecting a divorce, just as we don’t board a plane expecting it to crash.”

Lilly then seemingly referred to Ethan and Ariana with, “I honestly never thought I would get divorced.”

“Certainly not right after the birth of my first child and especially not in the shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.”

‘In this period of shock and mourning, over a year after the end of my marriage was made public, I deeply miss the life of invisibility I have created for myself as a psychologist specializing in women’s mental health.’
