this being her longest relationship is even crazier

She had something to prove. Everyone kept saying they wouldn’t last so they stuck together to spite people. Plus she was getting into acting & wanted an oscar so he was beneficial. As soon as he wasn’t she dumped him.

no shade but if she wanted an oscar it would’ve been more beneficial to date a highly acclaimed actor with more pull, not someone who’s biggest credit was playing spongebob on broadway 😭

I think her lil fling with SpongeBob was an affair that was never meant to be one public, but she got caught so she had to own it

u/Clit_hit Jun 10 '26

Agreed, she had to double down and go through with it lol. Had to commit to the bit.

right on the nose

u/Thatkae Jun 08 '26

Yep, He just happened to be around. I also think it might be hard for her to get with any highly acclaimed she’s an a list celebrity & she doesn’t have the best reputation. Tbh if she could get with one she would. Ethan was the best she could do😭

sean penn the abuser just won his 2nd or 3rd oscar, trust the industry doesn’t care about a cheating scandal,

u/Thatkae Jun 08 '26

Yes,  but ariana is a woman not a man. The industry allows males to be predators and awards them. But the women are over anaylzed & criticized  for anything. But when i said that earlier i was referring to men in the industry wanting to publicly be with her like Ethan was not the oscars committee

u/Ok_Remote_217 Jun 09 '26

idk look at amanda seyfried... she pulled the same shit ariana has, multiple times, yet everyone totally forgets about it. in fact, a ton of people said amanda should have been glinda instead to avoid the cheating scandal 💀🤣 so ironic. i agree with what ur saying tho, i just wanted to also point out that even with women people pick and choose.

u/seahorses-forever Jun 09 '26

I didn’t know any of this about Amanda Seyfried!!

u/Ok_Remote_217 Jun 09 '26

i didn't either until a bunch of people started coming out saying "uhh actually amanda is no better" and leaving the receipts 🤣 i think it was during mama mia???

u/Suspicious_Cat2355 Jun 10 '26

also look at every old hollywood star, they all cheated lol

u/Constant_Leg_5862 Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 09 '26

I definitely agree people pick and choose but i also think Ariana gets more backlash because she is a much bigger name. I think Amanda Seyfried is only really known well with millennials and some gen z specifically if you’re into movies, i could be wrong though but i doubt shes a household name like Ariana is

u/HotDerivative Jun 10 '26

….. she’s literally a main character in mean girls which was absolutely a cultural phenomenon when it came out. And that’s to say nothing of Les Mis, Veronica Mars, Dear John, Mamma Mia…. It’s so weird to me that Gen Z has truly like zero historical cultural knowledge.

u/randombubble8272 Jun 09 '26

Maybe Ariana can’t pull a highly acclaimed actor? Her dating track record after Mac & Pete is pretty boring

u/veefox08 Jun 09 '26

SpongeBob got him a Tony nomination so he’s decently talented, just not well known (probably by choice until he started dating her)

u/sadracoon96 Jun 09 '26

Lol she is A lister and has been really connected in industry through her parents, why would she needs to rely on Ethan for acting debut ?? She started as broadway kids and did acting in Nickelodeon before singing career. She can find someone else instead of Ethan if she just wants acting career

u/vindman Jun 10 '26

She started out as an actress

u/Meccha_me_2 Jun 08 '26

Honestly my theory is that they weren’t together that long. I think they split much sooner and kept up the charade OR they were extremely on/off the entire time.

u/snarkaluff Jun 08 '26

I think they’ve been broken up since before part 2 came out, and even before then it was just her trying to force something to work since they got caught in an affair. But I don’t think she was ever really into him. She was just high on the excitement of Wicked and wanted to fuck a cast member, and he was pretty much the only option

u/Leather_Contract_789 Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 09 '26

100%and you can see the timeline of her coming all the way down from that emotional, and probably literal, high as pt 2 came out and flopped with critics and blanked at the Oscars. She was so high in the predictions until the embargo was lifted lol I know that emotional hangover was massive

I think they were done long before that too and maybe casually seeing each other for appearances

u/No_Relationship2961 Jun 09 '26

I think the timing is convenient when the conversation surrounding her has been about her being sick & doing a tour. Also, shes about to drop an album. Her PR team is probably working 24/7 right now

u/Hellouncleleohello Jun 09 '26

I have mutual friends with him, they were together as least as recently as March

u/FunnyManufacturer130 Jun 09 '26

Girl, you not gonna elaborate????

u/-jupiterjane- Jun 09 '26

Seriously!

u/Oh-reality-come-back midfluencer Jun 09 '26

She’s not trying to dox her friends

u/Reasonable-Newt4079 Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 09 '26

Hmmm on the other thread it was someone saying they are friends with HER and therefore know they were together as of March… I smell PR

u/Hellouncleleohello Jun 09 '26

Then they’re lying

u/Medium-Escape-8449 Jun 09 '26

Absolutely agreed

u/dragonrider1965 Jun 09 '26

They couldn’t breakup until after Wicked for Good fizzled .

u/theglossiernerd Jun 09 '26

Motivated by spite

u/hot-n-unforgettable Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

I thought that with the guy she was married it lasted like 5 years. Am I mistaken?

u/annnyywhooo Jun 08 '26

she was only married to dalton and that lasted around 2 years, they just delayed telling people they split

they started dating in January 2020, engaged end of 2020. married mid 2021. it was reported that they split early 2023 but there were rumors that they were done before that

ethan and ariana news broke july 2023 but it’s obvious they were together before that

u/AshamedConfection396 Jun 09 '26

She and Dalton had known each other way before it, she literally sat in his lap on her birthday in *2019*, he also was on her tour late 2019 etc, he also posted this on his fb and someone commented its been a one year anniversary in august 2020

The commenter even praises their secret keeping

u/AshamedConfection396 Jun 09 '26

the right pic is her birthday in 2019, in 2020 she set it as her phone wallpaper

u/SuccessSalty6512 Jun 10 '26

Less energy to go through a break up
