Ethan Slater’s Ex-Wife Lilly Jay Spills the Tea on Their Divorce, Co-Parenting Adventures, and Ethan’s New Disney Princess

Buy Me A Coffee

Lilly Jay, the ex-Mrs. Ethan Slater, has decided to take a break from her regular psychologist duties to dish out the deets on her divorce and the unexpected circus that has been her life since Ethan decided to swap family dinners for duets with Ariana Grande. Yep, you heard it right—our boy Ethan, fresh off the Wicked set, found himself tangled up in a love affair that’s juicier than a Broadway musical plot twist!

After four years of marital bliss that included the grand adventure of parenthood (they welcomed their little prince in August 2022), Ethan filed for divorce in July 2023. Just as the world was catching wind of his new fling with pop royalty, Lilly was left saying, “Wait, what?!”

In a tell-all essay for The Cut that’s juicier than a double chocolate cake, Lilly confessed she never thought she’d be playing the leading lady in the Divorce Chronicles, especially not right after welcoming her first child into the world. “You mean my husband’s dating a celebrity? I’m still figuring out how to change a diaper!” she probably thought while scrolling through her ex’s new Instagram posts.

She shared her struggle with the social media whirlwind that has become her life post-Ethan. Apparently, while Lilly was busy deleting her Facebook account as a teenager (yes, that dramatic teenage moment we all had), Ethan was embracing social media like it was the last piece of pizza at a party. “He thrives on applause while I thrive on privacy—it’s like we were trying to blend oil and water, and I was the one drowning,” she mused.

Lilly reflected on how she was blissfully unaware of the growing distance in their relationship. “I thought we were moving forward together, but it turns out I was just following him to his next audition,” she quipped. Then came the painful realization that her high school sweetheart was now her ex, and they were both on the rollercoaster of co-parenting.

“Sure, our marriage may have gone up in flames like a bad Broadway performance, but our parenting? Oh, that’s a whole different show! We love our son more than anything, even if we split the parenting schedule like it’s a last slice of cake,” she wrote, as if preparing for a heartwarming scene in a rom-com.

But hold on, the plot thickens! Lilly revealed that the musical “Wicked” is now associated with her “saddest days”—which, let’s be real, could give the show a new number: “Defying Sadness.” She even mentioned how the tabloid frenzy affected her career, with a job offer mysteriously disappearing faster than Ethan’s commitment to their marriage. “I swear, if I hear one more tabloid headline, I might just change careers to full-time meme creator,” she joked.

Apologizing to her patients for the unexpected plot twists in her life, Lilly shared some wisdom she picked up along the way. “I used to think postpartum depression would destroy me, but turns out it just made me stronger—like an emotional superhero! And if I can’t be invisible anymore, I might as well introduce myself with a bow!”

Her closing lesson? “Remember, sometimes what you loved most about your partner was just your own awesomeness reflected back at you. So, take that goodness and strut forward like you just got the lead role in a Broadway show!”

Lilly Jay’s not just moving on; she’s taking center stage in her own life, even if it’s currently set in the aftermath of a dramatic divorce. The couple officially finalized their split in September 2024, but let’s be honest, this story is far from over! Grab your popcorn, this Broadway show is still unfolding!
