Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are reported to have taken their relationship to a more serious level. Slater ended his relationship with his high school sweetheart and mother of his child, Lilly Jay, after starting a controversial romance with Grande. Despite initial cheating allegations, sources close to them denied the rumors. Grande released a new single called The Boy Is Mine with lyrics suggesting a deep connection with someone. The couple is reportedly looking towards the future together, with support from Slater personally and professionally. Grande's recent song has upset Jay, who believes it is a direct insult to her.

There's a feeling among those close to Jay that Grande is disrespecting her with her actions. The song's lyrics appear to address Grande's critics and their opinions about her relationships. Grande and Slater's relationship began last year and they have since been living together in New York City. Jay feels betrayed by Grande for the breakdown of her marriage to Slater.
