Ariana Grande's 'visits to Hampstead pub where she "threw away her reputation" with married Wicked co-star Ethan Slater' leaves it 'busier than ever' as fans descend on the boozer after she sang about
Ariana Grande has left The Holly Bush pub in Hampstead 'busier than ever' as fans descended on the venue after she sang about her secret visits on her new album. The songstress, 31, is said to have unwound there after Wicked filming with her then married co-star and now boyfriend Ethan Slater, 32, leading to speculation she was referencing their relationship by singing it was at the pub she 'threw away her reputation'. The couple met while Ariana was still married to Dalton Gomez, 29, who she divorced last year after two years, and Ethan was with ex-wife Lilly Jay, 32, with whom he shares a two-year-old son. Eagle-eyed fans worked out which pub Ariana was referencing after spotting she followed The Holly Bush pub on Instagram with many then taking to TikTok to document their 'pilgrimage' there. In the track Hampstead, on her new album Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, Ariana sings: 'I left my heart at a pub in Hampstead / And I misplaced my mind in a good way / Threw away my reputation / but saved us more heartache'. A source told The Sun : 'It's safe to say profits are up. The pub has never been busier. Staff have no issue chatting to fans. But they are keeping the details of Ari's trips to a minimum.

The gastro pub which describes itself as 'nestled in the heart of Hampstead' has been awarded The AA Rosette award for culinary excellence and boasts £29 Sunday lunches as well as £12 glasses of wine. MailOnline have contacted Ariana Grande's reps and The Holly Bush pub for comment. 'I was in Hampstead when I was here, and I loved my walks on the Heath,' she told Radio 1. 'I loved meandering around and visiting different shops and places and pubs.' Elsewhere on the album fans have been left convinced that Ariana took a swipe at her ex-husband despite her previously having been quite circumspect about not mentioning him or airing their dirty laundry. All that is over now, if the lines 'Were we just mistaken? / Disguised our intentions? / Our nest was a masquerade / Why do I still protect you? / Pretend these songs aren't about you' on the song Twilight Zone have fans convinced she's dissing Dalton. The song Past Life also appears to be about Dalton and their marriage.

Lilly further reflected on how she never expected to get a divorce after tying the knot with her high school sweetheart - but emphasised both she and her ex focus to positively co-parent their son. She and Ethan had been married for five years and welcomed their baby boy to the world in August 2022. However, the divorce was finalised three months earlier in September.
