BLACKPINK Rosé’s Relationship Struggles Resurface Amid Popular Singer’s Break-Up Speculation

BLACKPINK Rosé’s “dating curse” is back in the spotlight thanks to the latest drama involving Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater.
The controversy began after Ariana, currently dating Ethan Slater, made headlines. Slater reportedly left his wife—who just gave birth to their son—to be with Ariana. The two met while starring in Wicked, sparking rumors their romance started on set.
As the situation unfolded, insiders claimed Ariana and Ethan are now having relationship issues linked to her hectic singer lifestyle.
Fans quickly connected this to Rosé’s infamous “dating curse,” which says anyone she meets ends up breaking up. The curse allegedly played a part in breakups like Orlando Bloom & Katy Perry and Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik.
The curse went viral again after Rosé’s photo with Ariana at the 2025 MTV VMAs.
