Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater reportedly called it quits months ago, but according to insiders, the pair’s nearly three-year romance had been anything but steady long before the breakup became public. Multiple sources are alleging that Grande and Slater quietly split “several” months ago after navigating an “on-off” relationship behind the scenes. The breakup comes as Ariana Grande gears up for a packed professional chapter, including her “Eternal Sunshine” tour, a new album, and a major role in the upcoming “Meet the Fockers” sequel.

While fans speculated about the status of their relationship in recent months, Page Six insiders claim Grande and Slater had been navigating turbulence for quite some time.

When rumors first surfaced that the pair had split in late 2025, one friend of Grande reportedly admitted they were skeptical the romance would last. “If I had to look into my crystal ball, would I think they would stay together? No,” the source told Page Six.

Signs Grande And Slater’s Relationship Was In Trouble

Those close to the couple reportedly noticed signs of trouble months earlier. According to insiders, Slater’s appearance at Grande’s hosting gig during “Saturday Night Live”’s holiday show in December caught many by surprise, as the pair had reportedly not been seen together in weeks.

“I thought they were broken up,” one onlooker reportedly said after spotting Slater at dress rehearsal. Another insider added, “People definitely were surprised that Ethan turned up. No one thought they were together… they were on off, on off, on off.”

Photos shared by Grande’s close friend Elizabeth Gillies later showed the pair together over the holidays, while Slater also offered fans a glimpse into their “very merry” season on social media. However, it would reportedly mark one of the last public glimpses of the couple together.

Ariana Grande And Ethan Slater’s Romance Faced Backlash From The Start

Grande and Slater’s relationship sparked controversy almost immediately after reports surfaced in 2023 that they were dating while working together on “Wicked” in London. At the time, Slater had recently separated from his wife, Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a young son.

Their relationship was publicly confirmed just days after Grande announced the end of her marriage to luxury real estate agent Dalton Gomez. The timing fueled backlash online, with both Grande and Slater facing accusations of infidelity, something sources close to the pair have repeatedly denied.

“There was no cheating… neither of them should have been branded cheaters; that’s not who either of them are,” one insider reportedly told the outlet.

Still, tensions escalated publicly after Jay shared emotional comments about the fallout of her marriage. “My family is just collateral damage,” she previously told Page Six before later reflecting on the painful experience in an essay for The Cut.

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

Pete Davidson Is Still Reportedly Protective Of Grande

Even years after their whirlwind romance, Grande’s ex-fiancé Pete Davidson reportedly remains protective of the singer. Grande and Davidson famously got engaged in 2018 just weeks after they started dating before ultimately ending their relationship later that year following the death of Grande’s ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller.

According to a friend of Davidson’s, the comedian still thinks highly of Grande despite the passage of time. “She’s been through a lot in her life, and Pete admires her so much, she just keeps working and just keeps outdoing herself,” the source reportedly shared.

The insider added that although the former couple hasn’t spoken in some time, Davidson remains “extremely protective” of the pop star.

Ariana Grande Is Focusing On Work Following Split

Though Grande and Slater have reportedly gone their separate ways romantically, insiders insist the split was amicable. “She and Ethan are still friends,” one source said. “This is not a dramatic breakup, it’s not like that at all…it was not an overnight thing, it was a thoughtful decision, there’s no break in communication.”

Professionally, Grande has remained busier than ever. The singer recently launched her “Eternal Sunshine” tour and is preparing to promote “Focker-in-Law,” the latest installment in the “Meet the Fockers” franchise, in which she stars alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.

According to those close to Grande, her upcoming album Petal will not focus on heartbreak. “It’s not about romantic love,” one friend reportedly said. “It’s Ari’s way of responding to all the headlines.”

What Daddy Sanders Told His Daughter About Letting Go

The day before, Deion was trending after dropping three tweets on X—two directed at Deiondra Sanders. His first tweet posted on June 11 quoted Deiondra and only said “Lawd Lawd Lawd,” a response that quickly went viral. Sanders was responding to Deiondra writing, “I can’t wait till my son grow up and see the truth for himself.” 

Following that came his inspirational scripture-based message. He wrote of continuing to push forward, blessing others and remaining positive. A few hours later, he quoted another one of Deiondra’s tweet. That second time, she penned a message about feeling “hurt disappointed” and needing time. It was one in a series of tweets responding to Jacquees’ recent comments about moving too quickly with her before closing his chapter with Dreezy. In that second piece of advice, Daddy Sanders wrote, “Give it to GOD and let’s go! Got Got u! #NoMo.”

He said on the morning show that he’s “got [his] health” and “swagger” back. “I’m fully back now. Last year at this time, it wasn’t a good look,” Sanders said. Sanders is now “cancer-free” and credited “great doctors in Colorado” and God, whom together, he said, “brought [him] through.” He added, “I’m thankful ‘m healthy.”

FunnyMike and Jaliyah have the internet talking again. Fans began speculating about the former couple’s relationship after FunnyMike popped into Jaliyah’s TikTok Live and started sending gifts during her stream. Jaliyah quickly shut down the chatter, reminding folks that she is single, prompting a response from FunnyMike as well.

FunnyMike Sends Gifts During Jaliyah’s TikTok Live

On Saturday, June 13, a clip from Jaliyah’s TikTok Live began circulating on social media. In the video, FunnyMike, Jaliyah’s ex and the father of her children, repeatedly sent gifts during her livestream.

As the gifts continued rolling in, Jaliyah laughed and told viewers, “He just want some shine on my live,” before jokingly adding, “I’m finna block you.”

The interaction quickly sparked debate online. While some viewers brushed off the exchange as harmless, others pointed to the former couple’s history and questioned whether Jaliyah was truly done with FunnyMike. Several commenters suggested the pair has a habit of finding their way back to one another despite their public fallout, while others expressed frustration, saying they had been rooting for Jaliyah to leave the relationship.

However, Jaliyah later shut down the speculation. Responding to the growing backlash, she wrote, “I’m single asf and will remain that way.” The moment comes just weeks after Jaliyah publicly accused FunnyMike of abuse and alleged that he was expecting children with other women.

FunnyMike Says He Was ‘Trolling’ While Showing Off His Single Lifestyle

After The Shade Room Teens shared Jaliyah’s response, FunnyMike jumped into the comment section to offer his own take on the viral moment. According to FunnyMike, he was simply “trolling.” He also doubled down on Jaliyah’s comments by writing, “Heavy on the single.”

The YouTuber later appeared to lean further into his single era when he shared an Instagram photo dump featuring several mystery women. He captioned the post, “This sh** overly structured #singleaf.”

FunnyMike also responded to followers who kept bringing up Jaliyah in the comments. One user wrote, “Can’t wait for my girl Jaliyah turn laugh now cry later.” In which FunnyMike replied, “Bruh stop bringing her up we both single I could careless.” While another commenter wrote, “Lemme get da bm 👀.” FunnyMike responded, “Hit her dm 5.”

FunnyMike also appeared to address critics who believe he’s secretly hurt by the breakup. Taking to his Instagram Story, he wrote, “Y’all want me to go cry in a corner.” He later leaned into the jokes by posting a video of himself sitting in a corner and pretending to cry, seemingly poking fun at social media users who think he’s bothered by the split.

2026 has been a wonderful year for horror so far. The likes of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Send Help, and Ready or Not 2: Here I Come all charmed audiences, but it wasn’t until this past month that the genre truly stood out from the rest. This is thanks to the release of two fresh new horror projects, both from the minds of former YouTube creators. Focus Features’ Obsession has become the talk of Hollywood, with director Curry Barker helping transform a sub-$1 million budget into almost $230 million worldwide, so far.

Then there is A24’s Backrooms, from the mind of 20-year-old Kane Parsons, which has broken numerous records, including the aforementioned director becoming the youngest person ever to top the North American box office. However, not every horror release in 2026 has been a hit, with perhaps the very worst coming from a franchise some had long given up on. The Strangers: Chapter 3 debuted in February and only managed four weeks in theaters, thanks to a dreadful run that only picked up $11 million worldwide, against a production budget reported to be $8.5 million.

Not only was the threequel a box office disaster, but it also faced huge critical backlash and earned a dismal 18% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Dubbed “an odd attempt to expand this world in an irritating way that couldn’t be further away from what makes this series great,” in Ross Bonaime’s review for Collider, there is no doubt that this is a movie 2026 will likely forget. However, morbid curiosity has hit following the film’s streaming arrival, with The Strangers: Chapter 3 becoming one of the ten most-streamed movies on Starz in the U.S.

A Poorly Reviewed Horror Movie Just Topped the Box Office

Although the likes of Backrooms and Obsession are dominating box office headlines by proving huge critical and commercial hits, last weekend’s charts were actually topped by a very different horror film, and one that has received a similar scathing critical reception to The Strangers: Chapter 3. The film in question is Scary Movie, a first return to the parody franchise in 13 years, which opened with an impressive $55 million haul from U.S. theaters and another $50 million from overseas markets​​​​​​. The horror parody franchise’s sixth chapter might have taken top spot over the weekend, but it was quickly outgrossed on its first Monday by Obsession.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 is available to stream now on Starz. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

Polo G Reflects On His Growth And How Sobriety Changed His Life

Polo G took to social media to officially celebrate one year of sobriety. The rapper reflected on the milestone while highlighting the growth and discipline that helped him achieve it.

In his post, he wrote: “Officially 1YR Sober &…. Key Words Here ‘GROWTH’ & ‘DISCIPLINE.’ Im beyond proud and happy fa myself for the man I’ve been able to become thru will power. We all gat the potential to be who we really wanna be, we just gatta find it within ourselves…But yea, to celebrate I’m putting out a single this Friday. Swipe til the end for the cover arts.”

Polo G Previously Opened Up About His Past Drug Abuse And Surviving An Overdose

Throughout the years, Polo G has been very open about his struggles with substance abuse. Nearly five years ago, the rapper got candid about a drug overdose he experienced when he was 17 years old. Polo G explained that, at the time, drugs had become such a regular part of his life that he felt he needed them to function.

During a celebration for a late friend, he said he blacked out after consuming champagne and more than 17 pills. Reflecting on the incident, Polo G recalled his father telling him that if help had arrived just seconds later, he could have died.

“That just made me think. Knowing that I got my son, I had to slow down off that. That made me quit Ecstasy and Xanax. The only way I got through that dark time was the music. That’s the one thing that always kept me going.”

Fast forward to 2026, Polo G sat down sat down with DDG and revealed that he was 11 months sober. When asked whether he still smoked weed or used anything else, the rapper shared that he was completely sober. As Polo G reflected on his journey, he opened up about the differences between living sober and being on drugs.

“I feel like my mind clear. Like I got more control over my thoughts. My days go a lil better. Sometimes you can get real f***ed up and it’ll set you back.”

Polo G went from overdosing after taking 17 pills and being just minutes away from death, to now being 1 year sober from drugs and alcohol 🐐

Cleveland Cavaliers athlete James Harden was reportedly arrested for the misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of weapons.

Harden, 36, was arrested in Texas on Saturday, June 13, after local law enforcement discovered a handgun in his car, according to TMZ. Per to the outlet, the NBA star was released on bond within hours and a court date has been scheduled for Monday, June 22.

Harden has not publicly addressed his arrest. Us Weekly has reached out to the pro athlete’s rep for comment.

Harden, who was drafted into the NBA in 2009, currently plays for the Cavaliers. The Ohio-based basketball team were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals in May by the New York Knicks. (The Knicks are currently facing off against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals, leading the series 3-1.)

“I think that they made shots, some, obviously, open and some just tough shots,” Harden said of his team’s loss during a press conference held last month. “I don’t think we made really any. … I think we accomplished a lot, still short of the goal but I think we accomplished getting to the conference finals. Now, there’s another level to get to [or] maybe two levels to get to.”

He continued, “I think a lot of that is just, you know, maybe our first time together and the first two series we had opportunities to handle the series much quicker than we did, and we didn’t take advantage of it.”

Still, Harden admittedly found the Cavaliers’ loss to be “a little frustrating.”

According to Harden, the Cavaliers are a “talented group” that he hopes to see excel in the upcoming NBA season.

“It’s our first time going through whatever we were going to go through, and I think we accomplished a lot, you know, winning a Game 7 at home, winning a Game 7 on the road and getting to the conference finals,” he added at the time. “Now, we have to take another two steps starting this summer, but take another two steps and being even better. Now, you get a full season of understanding what we have as a group and uh setting ourselves up, like, positioning-wise for better.”

Harden previously played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Houston Rockets, the Brooklyn  Nets, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Clippers. He joined the Cavaliers in 2025.

Things aren’t just heating up inside the villa on ‘Love Island USA’ — they’re getting just as spicy outside of it, too! If you’ve been tuning in, then you already know cast members Sincere Rhea and Melanie Moreno have taken over the island with their drama. But amid all of that, some of Sincere’s tea has started spilling online as his alleged ex-girlfriend has now entered the chat. She claims he doesn’t exactly have the best track record with relationships.

Sincere’s Alleged Ex Enters The Chat With Past Relationship Claims

Whew, Roomies, the tea is HOT! Sincere Rhea’s alleged ex-girlfriend is airing him out online while he searches for love in the ‘Love Island USA’ villa. Videos circulating on social media show her claiming they spent five years together. In one video, she explained that they have matching ring finger tattoos.

According to her, Sincere did her dirty throughout most of it. She also claims they split about two years ago, but that hasn’t stopped them from allegedly keeping in touch. “That man has done me dirty for five years straight, okay!” She added, “It don’t matter if we together or not. My get back is always going to get f*****g back.” 

On top of that, his ex said she isn’t fazed by folks accusing her of clout-chasing for speaking on him. If anything, she admitted she feels more embarrassed about their past relationship. However, what really has her stuck is seeing him on national television searching for love.

“No s**t Sherlock! What you think this is?” She added, “You think I just want recognition for being this man’s ex. If anything it’s very much so embarrassing that i even let this n***a play with me for five years. But it’s the fact now that he decided to put himself on a reality TV love show. What you looking for love for? You don’t know how to.”

From there, Sincere’s ex said she’s waiting for him to show viewers — and the people inside the villa — who he truly is. “At the end of the day, this man is going to show y’all who he is. His real self. It’s already coming out a little bit. I’m 100% entertained on watching this. Why? Because I’m healed.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have received glowing praise from celebrity chef José Andrés for their dedication to humanitarian and charitable work.

The Duke of Sussex recently made a solo stop at an event celebrating the launch of Andrés’s cookbook, “Spain My Way.”

Amid reports that the couple is battling financial pressure, a royal expert has suggested they may now face calls to scale back their expensive lifestyle in California.

World-renowned celebrity chef José Andrés expressed admiration for Harry and Meghan, praising their commitment to humanitarian causes.

In a conversation with PEOPLE, Andrés, who also leads humanitarian efforts through his World Central Kitchen nonprofit, gave insight into his close friendship with the couple. He explained that they are open and welcoming, like any other family.

“They made their kitchen the meeting place like every other family,” he said. “I love how Meghan interacts with her children and food.”

Andrés is close to the Sussexes and even appeared on Meghan’s lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan,” on Netflix. In the finale of the show’s second season, Meghan revealed that Harry does not like lobster, prompting Andrés to joke, “And you married him anyway?”

For the chef, spending time with Harry and Meghan feels like meeting with anyone else, as they talk about life, family, food, new restaurants, and other everyday topics.

Prince Harry And Meghan’s Quiet Charity Work Gets Spotlight

The chef went on to spotlight Harry and Meghan’s dedication to hands-on charity work, saying he is “proud to call them friends.”

Through their Archewell Foundation, the couple has partnered with Andrés’s World Central Kitchen nonprofit to provide meals to communities affected by disasters.

He said he often receives calls or texts from the Montecito-based royals when disasters occur, with the couple asking, “What can we do here, and can we help you?”

“Nobody finds out about those moments, and they do it often, all the time,” he said of the couple’s efforts.

During the Eaton fires that ravaged parts of Pasadena and the greater California area, Harry and Meghan joined Andrés’ organization’s relief efforts, sharing meals and supplies with victims.

“They are always caring about all the things happening in the world. They don’t have to do that,” Andrés said. “They sincerely do it because they care.”

Chef Defends Harry And Meghan From ‘Photo Op’ Criticism

While the couple has frequently faced online criticism and accusations of staging “photo ops” when stepping out to perform public service, Andrés appeared to push back against that narrative. He explained that the Sussexes make sure to show up and “be part of the solution.”

Weighing in on Harry’s recent trip to Ukraine, where he supported wounded veterans and military personnel through his Invictus Games Foundation, Andrés said, “not a lot of people do that.”

“They can decide to live a life in the comfort of their home, but I love that they are there even when nobody’s looking, they’re there just making sure that they can also be part of the solution,” he added of the couple. “That’s why I’m very proud to call them friends,” Andrés said.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Face Fresh Pressure Over Their Lifestyle

Despite their humanitarian work, Harry and Meghan have continued to face scrutiny, especially over their finances. Over the years, they have reportedly lost out on multimillion-dollar deals, while several business ventures have struggled to gain strong momentum.

According to Page Six, Harry has not been earning as much as before, while Meghan has essentially become the “breadwinner” of their family. Their cost of living is said to be north of $6 million, with a large portion reportedly going toward security, travel, staff salaries, mortgage payments, and other expenses.

Royal expert and columnist Maureen Callahan has now suggested that the couple is under mounting pressure to downsize their luxury lifestyle in California if financial pressure continues to grow.

King Charles Reportedly Still Hesitant To See Prince Harry

While speculation has suggested that Harry may meet with his estranged father, King Charles, during a summer trip to the UK to drum up support for the Birmingham Invictus Games next year, sources have claimed that a reunion is unlikely.

Citing the couple’s proposed “half in, half out” royal arrangement, which was rejected by Queen Elizabeth, a source told royal commentator Paula Froelich that it would be difficult for the king to extend an olive branch.

“Ever since Harry broke the Sandringham agreement, it would be too much for Charles to see him,” the insider said, per NewsNation.

Charles is also understood to be displeased by claims that Meghan has used his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, to promote merchandise from her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

Right now, former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies seems to have a new full-time gig: sticking his foot into his mouth. Previously, he was revered as the man who brought this franchise back in 2005, turning a show that only older nerds cared about into a youth-friendly, worldwide phenomenon. Eventually, Davies left, and other showrunners (including the excellent Steven Moffat) took the reins. But enthusiasm for the franchise waned when Jodie Whittaker played the Doctor under showrunner Chris Chibnall. To help the show get its groove back, the BBC partnered with Disney and brought Davies back for two more seasons, both of which streamed on Disney+.

Unfortunately, it was a disaster. Disney refused to renew their deal with the BBC, meaning that a third season under Davies was more or less dead. Fans still hoped to see a Christmas special, but the showrunner dashed those hopes recently by hopping on Instagram to confirm that 1) the special, which he never even wrote, was canceled and 2) the BBC had parted ways with him and his production company. This led to widespread news that Doctor Who had been canceled over 20 years after its revival. Now, Davies claimed in a recent interview that the show hadn’t actually been canceled, but his phrasing has angry fans wanting to shove a sonic screwdriver into his mouth.

Getting Angry With The Fans

In an appearance on Gaydio, Russell T. Davies expressed anger at those reporting that Doctor Who has been canceled. “It’s extraordinary to see newspapers, who should know better, saying the show has been canceled,” he said. “It’s the opposite.” He went on to explain that the show is “being put out to tender,” meaning that the BBC will try to find an independent company that is willing to produce the show. By way of example, Davies noted that the show Casualty was previously “a BBC show,” but after being “put out to tender last year,” the show will “be made independently by BBC Studios,” which he noted was “separate to BBC Public Service.”

Wrapping up his thoughts on the matter, he speculated that nobody is going to apply for a tender for Doctor Who for at least a year. “You got to lock it in just to make it financially worthwhile,” a move that he thinks “guarantees years of the program.” He then ended this statement with some of the cattiness that has become his recent trademark: “But no, go ahead and call it canceled, everyone. You’re wrong. You’re literally wrong!”

All Of This Has Happened Before, And It Will Happen Again

So, why are fans irked at these words from the Doctor Who showrunner? For one thing, many are still salty about his recent Instagram post, where he claimed that he had never worked on a Christmas special despite previously saying he did and even teasing elements from a presumably completed script. The great writer effectively wrote himself into a corner, having basically admitted that he was either lying before about having worked on the script or lying now about having never worked on the script. Mostly, though, fans were annoyed at Davies’ pedantry here because what he is describing is a cancellation by another other name.

For example, the last episode of the original Doctor Who series aired back in 1989, after which it was effectively canceled. I say “effectively” because, according to the BBC, the show was never officially canceled. They simply stopped commissioning Doctor Who episodes (not counting the weird 1996 made-for-TV movie) for a period of 16 years. Fans now call these “the wilderness years.” We might have been in the wilderness even longer, but the BBC was so impressed by Russell T. Davies’ pitch that they made him showrunner for the celebrated 2005 Doctor Who revival.

More Who When?

On Gaydio, Davies seemed to revel in snarky pedantry, noting that fans who don’t understand what is currently happening with the franchise “are complaining on devices which have a search engine. Go and look it up.” But Davies is acting like this is just a temporary bump in the road and we’ll see new Doctor Who episodes in just a few years. But there’s no guarantee about that, and the last time the franchise was forced into hiatus, it was the better part of two decades before we got new episodes. Furthermore, while many changes were for the best, it’s worth noting the new show was very, very different from what came before.

Accordingly, Davies’ attempt to reassure fans completely backfired. Along with reminding us that we just don’t understand media like him (the guy who recently ran this franchise into the ground), the former Doctor Who showrunner reminded us that the last time the show was not officially canceled, we didn’t have any new episodes for 16 years, and the show came back completely different from what it was before. Because of that, no amount of snark and pedantry about whether it is officially canceled changes the fact that Doctor Who fans have every reason to be worried about a show they might not see more of for literally decades.

Latto might be in her Big Mama era, but that’s not stopping her from making sure her body is tea and ready for summer. The rapper dropped some videos on social media, and her post-baby snapback has the gworls ready to put down the fast food and hit the gym.
