Ariana Grande has announced she will be 'taking a step back from visibility' after her tour ends.
The Thank U, Next singer will take a hiatus after wrapping up her Eternal Sunshine world tour in London this month.
Her agents confirmed she will pull out of the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George.
The superstar was due to tread the boards of the Barbican Centre next summer, alongside her former Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey.
A representative shared in a statement, "Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.
"She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny."

Pop star Ariana Grande has dropped out of what would have been her debut appearance in London's West End, the show's producers said Sunday, as a representative for the singer said she wants to take a "step back" from the public eye.
The 33-year-old Grande had been slated to star opposite her "Wicked" castmate Jonathan Bailey in the Stephen Sondheim musical "Sunday in The Park with George" in the summer of 2027 at London's Barbican theater.
But amid renewed public scrutiny of the singer's health, especially on social media, her representative said she wanted a "much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances" when her "Eternal Sunshine" tour wraps in London on September 1.
"We can confirm that she has decided to step back from 'Sunday in The Park with George'," producers said in a statement carried on the show's official X account, without providing a reason for Grande's withdrawal.
"We know this cannot have been an easy decision, and she makes it with our complete understanding and support," the statement said, adding that the show would go ahead as planned and casting would be announced "in due course."

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo spent years looking inseparable while bringing "Wicked" to life. But now that the blockbuster franchise has wrapped its theatrical run, a new report claims the pair have quietly taken a step back from their once highly visible friendship.
The timing has fueled speculation that something changed between the co-stars. However, insiders insist the distance has less to do with bad blood and more to do with both women reclaiming their individual careers after months of living in the Wicked spotlight.
According to RadarOnline, Grande and Erivo intentionally decided to pull back after the whirlwind press tour surrounding "Wicked" and "Wicked: For Good," which reportedly earned a combined $1.2 billion at the global box office.
"The whole Wicked press tour became way bigger than anyone expected," a source told RadarOnline. "It stopped being just promo and turned into this massive online obsession with their friendship."
The insider added, "They were constantly together, constantly praising each other, and it created this idea that they were inseparable in real life as well as on screen."

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Archery world champion Mariana Bernal of Mexico was banned for three years, the International Testing Agency said Thursday, after testing positive for an anabolic steroid three weeks after winning a team gold medal against the U.S.
The 23-year-old Bernal did not challenge the doping offense and is banned until after the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. She also was stripped of her 2025 World Cup Finals **** le.

Kim Kardashian turned Ariana Grande's Los Angeles concert into a small American Horror Story reunion.
The SKIMS founder attended Grande's Eternal Sunshine Tour stop at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday, June 13, with her former **** istant and longtime friend Stephanie Shepherd. People reported that Emma Roberts was also with them, putting Kardashian and her American Horror Story: Delicate costar together in the crowd.
Kardashian posted several clips from the show on Instagram Stories. In one clip, she tagged Grande and called her "my baby" with a pink heart emoji. In another, People reported that Kardashian sang along with Shepherd and Roberts to Grande's "We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)."
The outing also drew attention because Kardashian and Grande both have a public connection to Pete Davidson. Kardashian dated Davidson after hosting Saturday Night Live in 2021, while Grande was engaged to him in 2018.
People reported that Kardashian, Shepherd, and Roberts were seen together at the arena as Grande performed. Kardashian shared her own view from the crowd and appeared to be singing along rather than keeping the night private.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship after three years together. The split is said to have happened months ago, with both stars remaining on good terms afterward. The reported breakup comes as Grande prepares for a busy new chapter in her career, including a major tour and the release of her next album. Neither star has publicly commented on the report.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are no longer together, according to a report confirmed by Page Six. A source told the outlet that the pair quietly ended their romance several months ago. Despite the breakup, they reportedly remain friends and continue to have "respect and admiration" for one another. The person added that the decision was not made lightly and that they ultimately felt they were better suited as friends than romantic partners.
The reported breakup comes at a pretty hectic time for Ariana Grande. According to the same source, she's currently focused on her Eternal Sunshine tour while also gearing up for the release of her upcoming album, Petal. TMZ, which first broke the news, also noted that the new album reportedly has nothing to do with her split from Ethan Slater. So, despite the timing, it sounds like fans shouldn't expect the record to be a breakup project inspired by the end of their relationship.
Ariana Grande, 32, and Ethan Slater, 34, first met while working on Wicked, and their romance soon became one of Hollywood's most talked-about relationships. The couple went public in 2023, drawing plenty of headlines because both were married when they initially crossed paths. Grande later finalized her divorce from Dalton Gomez, while Slater split from Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a son, Ezra.
The relationship sparked debate from the start. In a 2023 interview with Page Six, Jay described her family as "collateral damage." At the same time, another source told the outlet that Grande and Slater hadn't done anything inappropriate, claiming the latter was already separated before the relationship turned romantic.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have ended their relationship after nearly three years together, according to US reports.
The couple separated "quietly" and in an "amicable" manner several months ago, a source told US magazine People.
"They gave lots of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways," the source told the publication. "They are still friends and very supportive of one another."
The pair met while starring together in the film adaptation of Wicked. BBC News has asked Grande and Slater's representatives for comment.
The singer and actress, 32, first met Slater, 34, in 2023 while they were shooting the two films in the UK.

Ariana Grande appears to have turned one old lyric into a "wink-wink" shade on stage. The pop star opened her "Eternal Sunshine" tour in Oakland, California, on Saturday and sang "Thank U, Next" before changing the mood around a line about marriage. A viral TikTok clip showed her smiling through the moment, holding up two fingers, and laughing as fans linked it to her divorce from Dalton Gomez.
As per Page Six, Ariana Grande kicked off her tour at Oakland Arena. During "Thank U, Next," she reached the lyric, "Only wanna do it once," then playfully raised two fingers. The outlet reported the move seemingly referenced her being open to marriage again. Meanwhile, the TikTok clip from a user showed her smiling in a pink fringed dress as dancers surrounded her onstage.
The moment quickly moved through fan pages because the 2019 song had always carried personal history. It referenced Grande's former relationships with Pete Davidson, Big Sean, and the late Mac Miller. However, this new stage bit came after her own marriage ended.
One fan reacted, "the way she avoided 'only wanna do this once' PLEASE I LOVE HER." Another added, "the lyric change and the side eye from 'only wanna do this once'." The TikTok post had over 247k likes.
Grande and Dalton Gomez finalized their divorce in March 2024 after three years of marriage. Page Six reported they had a prenuptial agreement. The singer made a one-time payment of $1.25 million to Gomez. She also agreed to give him half the proceeds from their Los Angeles home sale.

Frankie Grande is eternally proud of Ariana Grande—true story.
Though Frankie missed the first night of his younger sister's Eternal Sunshine tour to attend the 2026 Tony Awards, he already knows the tour is a can't-miss event—though he's been trying to avoid spoilers of the many tricks and surprises Ariana unveils throughout the concert.
"I've been really trying hard not to watch every clip that I see online today," Frankie told E! News on the Tonys carpet June 7. "But I'm just so proud of her. I was literally texting her like, 'I was like the looping machine!' And then I would like swipe away, and then I'd be like, 'You're flying!'"
As he put it, "She is the greatest live vocalist of our generation, absolutely no question. She's an unbelievable artist. The fact that she gets to show all of that on stage—I'm so proud of her."

This story originally appeared on Them.
The TikTok creator formerly known as Bela Delgado announced on June 3 that he is detransitioning after attending an "exploratory therapy camp" referred by his church, and will now be referred to on the platform as "TopHer," a play on his birth name, Christopher.
"A lot of people have been asking me to address the elephant in the room," Delgado said in the video. "Obviously, my display name is no longer Bela Delgado. It now says 'TopHer,' which is inspired by the name Christopher, my real name. I was born a male named Christopher Delgado."
Once known for stirring controversy online with his cultural commentary on public figures like Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, including a notable feud with actress Julia Fox, Delgado has built a large following on TikTok in the 2020s. In the new video, posted Wednesday, Delgado said that after first publicly identifying as a transgender woman at age 18 in 2017, "that has changed."
"After years of going on and off of medication and hormones and what not and trying to see why my head was in such a dark place, I decided that I was going to take some advice from my church," Delgado said. "I am a devout Christian. I have been since I was a child and my transgender identity was always kind of awkwardly balanced with that."
