Slater and Jay’s baby was 11 months old when the rumors of him dating Grande hit the news. Based on the comments she made about the God is a Woman singer to Page Six, it was quite clear that she was not very happy about it. Jay told the outlet:
[Ariana’s] the story, really. Not a girl’s girl. My family is just collateral damage. The story is her and Dalton.
Jay claimed to the outlet that she was mostly focusing on raising their little son and being a good mother to him amidst all the ruckus. A source told the outlet:
She’s [Lilly Jay] telling Ethan and others that she only cares about protecting their child. She’s rightfully upset because her marriage fell apart, but Ariana and Ethan didn’t do anything wrong.
At the time, the source claimed that Jay was reaching out to different outlets to tell her side of the story, but her behavior towards Slater was different. The source further explained that Slater had already been separated from Jay for two months when he began dating Grande so he had done nothing wrong. Things have worked out well now so hopefully, it’s all in the past.
