Ariana Grande has noticeably lost a lot of weight lately. Given her back-to-back engagements, it can be said that she's naturally overworked, but it could also be because she's dealing with the noise over her relationship with Ethan Slater, on top of all her commitments.
According to an insider close to the singer, Grande has not just lost a lot of weight, but also hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers due to her relationship with Ethan Slater.
She is not taking care of herself as she should and is not feeding her body nutritious food.
Ariana Grande Stressed Over Album, Wicked, and Ethan Slater
"Ariana's been so stressed lately, with back-to-back promotions and releases of her album, Eternal Sunshine, and now Wicked," the source exclusively tells Life & Style. "When Ariana's stressed, she will forget to eat entirely."
It can be noted that Ariana's romance with 31-year-old Ethan, which was said to have started in early 2023 after her breakup with husband Dalton Gomez, has drawn criticism.

While Grande never addressed the hate some fans have been shooting at her, it does not mean she is not bothered.
People magazine reported that Grande had only "recently" been dating her co-star following the announcement of his divorce from Lilly Jay in July 2023.
However, according to a source close to Life & Style, she's been more stressed out by the gossiping about her relationship with Slater.
"Naturally, she wants all of these projects to be successful, but she feels especially anxious about how Wicked will be received," the insider said. "Ariana knows when the movie comes out, all people will want to talk about is whether she and Ethan had an affair during filming."
She could have avoided becoming unduly preoccupied with marketing "Wicked" and her new album if she had adhered to her original plan.
Grande stated in a recent interview that she did not intend to release any new music until Wicked had its theatrical debut.
"I did not plan to [make new music now]. I didn't have the goal to make an album," Grande said on the Zach Sang Show. "I actually was really opposed to coming out with music until after Wicked, either both parts or just one part. I wasn't sure how I would feel."
