Main Body
The couple first met in late 2022 while filming the movie 'Wicked' in the UK, where Grande played Glinda and Slater played Boq. Their romance began around the same time that both were ending their previous marriages; Grande separated from Dalton Gomez in early 2023, and Slater separated from Lilly Jay. While Jay described the public nature of her divorce as a 'sudden public downfall,' Grande defended Slater's character in a 2024 interview with Vanity Fair, claiming that tabloid reports were unfair.
這對情侶於 2022 年底在英國拍攝電影《魔法壞女巫》時相識，Grande 飾演 Glinda，而 Slater 則飾演 Boq。他們的戀情在兩人分別結束前一段婚姻的同時開始；Grande 於 2023 年初與 Dalton Gomez 分居，而 Slater 則與 Lilly Jay 分居。雖然 Jay 將其離婚被公開化的過程描述為「突然的公眾崩潰」，但 Grande 在 2024 年接受《Vanity Fair》採訪時為 Slater 辯護，稱小報的報導並不公正。
After confirming their relationship in July 2023, the pair tried to keep their private life quiet, although they appeared together at several major events, including the 97th Academy Awards. Furthermore, they supported each other's careers, such as Slater's role in 'Spamalot' and Grande's new music. Despite reports in November 2025 suggesting they were still stable during the 'Wicked: For Good' premiere, the relationship eventually ended.
在 2023 年 7 月確認關係後，兩人試圖讓私生活保持低調，儘管他們共同出席了數次重大活動，包括第 97 屆奧斯卡金像獎。此外，他們也互相支持對方的事業，例如 Slater 在《Spamalot》中的角色以及 Grande 的新音樂。儘管 2025 年 11 月有報導指出他們在《魔法壞女巫：永遠》(Wicked: For Good) 首映期間依然穩定，但這段關係最終還是結束了。
According to representatives and media outlets, the couple actually separated several months before the public announcement in June 2026. They emphasized that the breakup was amicable and the result of a careful mutual decision. Consequently, current reports suggest that they have transitioned into a supportive friendship.
根據代表和媒體報導，這對情侶實際上在 2026 年 6 月公開宣布前幾個月就已分開。他們強調這次分手是和平的，且是經過慎重共同決定後的結果。因此，目前的報導指出他們已轉為互相支持的朋友關係。
Conclusion
The two have separated on good terms and remain friends while Grande focuses on her professional work.
兩人和平分手並維持朋友關係，而 Grande 則專注於她的專業工作。
Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'Connector' Jump: Moving from Simple to Sophisticated
At the A2 level, students often use simple links like and, but, or because. To reach B2, you need Logical Transition Words. These are words that act as bridges, showing the reader how one idea relates to the next.
🛠️ The Analysis
Look at how this text connects ideas. Instead of just telling a story, it uses specific words to signal the direction of the narrative:
-
The 'Adding More' Bridge:
- Text: "...appeared together at several major events... Furthermore, they supported each other's careers."
- B2 Logic: Instead of saying "And also," use Furthermore. It signals that you are adding a second, stronger point to your argument.
-
The 'Contrast' Bridge:
- Text: "Despite reports in November 2025 suggesting they were still stable... the relationship eventually ended."
- B2 Logic: A2 students say "They were stable, but they broke up." A B2 student uses Despite. This allows you to put the surprising information first, creating a more professional and academic tone.
-
The 'Result' Bridge:
- Text: "...the result of a careful mutual decision. Consequently, current reports suggest..."
- B2 Logic: Instead of "So," use Consequently. This proves a direct cause-and-effect relationship, which is essential for B2 writing and speaking exams.
