Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's split has brought BLACKPINK singer Rosé back into the viral fan theory known as the 'Rosé breakup curse.' The joke claims that celebrities who take photos with Rosé later face breakup news with their partners. Fans connected the theory to Grande after her photo with Rosé spread online, then linked it again to reports that Grande and Slater quietly ended their relationship.
'Rosé breakup curse' trends after Ariana Grande split
People reported that Grande and Slater split 'several months' ago after nearly three years together. The report said the breakup was amicable and that the two remain friends. Page Six also reported that the pair ended their relationship months ago and continue to support each other.
The 'Rosé Curse' resurfaced after fans linked Rosé to Grande and Slater's breakup chatter. Fans have long joked that Rosé's photos with celebrities somehow precede split headlines. The theory gained attention after Grande and Rosé posed together. Online users then revisited the viral joke once reports about Grande and Slater's breakup surfaced. The claim remains a fandom-made theory. It is not a confirmed pattern. Rosé has not promoted the idea or tied herself to the breakup talk.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's breakup fuels fan reactions
Fans pushed the discussion across social media with short posts and memes. One reaction quoted in reports said, 'She strikes again.' Another X post read, 'ariana grande está solteira e mais uma vez a “maldição” de término da rosé se provou verdadeira' (Ariana Grande is single, and once again Rosé's breakup 'curse' has proven true).
Grande and Slater met while working on the film adaptation of 'Wicked,' in which Grande plays Glinda, and Slater plays Boq. Their relationship drew major attention after it became public, and the pair kept much of their personal life private.
The Rosé theory has followed the singer through other celebrity photo moments as well. Fans have previously connected her name to breakup chatter involving stars such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj. Grande is now focused on her music and upcoming work, while the online 'curse' remains a pop culture joke built on timing, photos, and fan reactions.
