Ariana Grande has been trolled by fans who were quick to point out that her new boyfriend bears a striking resemblance to her older brother.

The singer, 30, has come under fire in recent weeks following the revelation that she had been having an affair with actor Ethan Slater behind the back of his soon-to-be-ex wife Lilly Jay with whom he shares a newborn son.

But to make matters worse fans have noted that Ethan, 31, could easily pass as the twin of Ariana’s older sibling, Frankie, 40.

Creator Katie McBroom of @martinisandmascara was among the first to comment on the unsettling similarities, sharing side-by-side pics of Frankie and Ethan alongside a comment that read: ‘I’m no Freud… but like, this seems interesting.’

Dozens of other social media users weighed in including none other than Charlotte Freud, great-great-granddaughter of Sigmund himself, with the hot take: ‘As a Freud I can concur this is weird as f**k’

Following the post, dozens of other social media users weighed in including none other than Charlotte Freud, great-great-granddaughter of Sigmund himself, with the hot take: ‘As a Freud I can concur this is weird as f**k.’

‘[T]hank you… yikes,’ another chimed in with a pun on the hit Ariana track.

A third echoed: ‘I cannot get over how she would literally wreck a marriage over to someone that looks like her brother like ???? This is mentally sickening.’

‘”It’s like I’ve known you my whole life,”‘ quipped someone else.

The distain spread across to TikTok too where people seemed no less disturbed.

‘[T]hat’s not the same person?’ one wrote on a slideshow juxtaposing the two, savagely set to Justin Timberlake’s Mirrors.

‘BYE. The way they both smile more to one side as well,’ wrote another.

As another put it of Ethan’s visage, ‘I thought the first pic was Frankie before being Hollywoodized.’

Even members of Ariana’s diehard fan base seemed to be turning against her in droves – as social media users were characteristically merciless across a number of threads

And over on Reddit – where even members of Ariana’s diehard fan base seemed to be turning against her in droves – users were characteristically merciless across a number of threads.

One post on newly founded sub r/EthanSlaterSnark declared, ‘Break up with my brother…I’m bored’ – alongside yet another barely distinguishable juxtaposition of Ariana’s brother and current boyfriend.

On July 20, TMZ broke the news on that Ariana and Ethan were officially an item.

At the time, Ariana was already rumored to be on the outs with her soon-to-be-ex-spouse, real-estate agent Dalton Gomez.

Ethan apparently connected with Ariana on the set of Wicked for which filming began in December 2022.

In the movie adaptation of the Wizard of Oz-inspired musical, Ariana is set to appear as Glinda, while Ethan – who’d previously starred as SpongeBob in the SpongeBob SquarePants musical – was cast as the Boq, whose unrequited love for Glinda eventually spells his doom.

Then yet another twist emerged when an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com that Lilly had ‘hung out with Ethan and Ariana so many times’

Though PR teams working on behalf of the new couple claimed that Ethan was fully ‘separated’ from Lily, subsequent reports – not to mention suspiciously tight timelines – suggested anything but.

Barely a week later, Ethan filed for divorce from Lilly, who’d reportedly been ‘blindsided‘ by news of the romance.

Then yet another twist emerged when an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com that Lilly had ‘hung out with Ethan and Ariana so many times.’

‘Ariana met their baby and even held him. They had dinners together in London – and Ariana told Lilly that she wanted to have a baby one day and that she couldn’t wait to start a family,’ the source elaborated.

Adding even more insult to injury, Lilly and Ethan had reportedly gone on ‘multiple double dates’ with Ariana and Dalton before the latter pair split, a source separately dished to DailyMail.com.
