Ariana Grande: The Couple’s Public Hockey Date Night
Pop superstar Ariana Grande and her new beau, Broadway actor Ethan Slater, were spotted enjoying a romantic date night at Game One of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers on June 8th. The couple, who began dating in 2023 after meeting on the set of the upcoming film adaptation of the musical “Wicked,” looked smitten as they sat together, smiling and cheering during the intense hockey match.
This public outing marks one of the most high-profile appearances for Grande and Slater since news of their relationship broke last year, shortly after the “Thank U, Next” singer split from her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, after two years of marriage.
How Their Romance Began
In July 2023, just days after reports of Grande’s separation from Gomez surfaced, sources close to the situation confirmed that the 30-year-old pop icon had moved on and was dating Slater, her co-star in the highly anticipated “Wicked” movie. Slater, who plays the role of the Munchkin Boq in the film, had also recently separated from his wife, Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a son.
Another insider revealed that “Ethan and Ariana were both separated before they got together,” dismissing any speculation of overlap between their previous relationships.
Supportive Partners in Love and Career
Grande and Slater have been spotted supporting each other’s professional endeavours as their romance blossomed. In October 2023, the “7 Rings” singer attended the first preview of Slater’s Broadway revival of “Spam-a-Lot,” cheering on her beau from the audience.
Grande even shared her first public photo with Slater in April, including him in a group picture with their fellow “Wicked” cast members on Instagram.
During an appearance on “The Zach Sang Show” in February 2024, Grande alluded to the scrutiny their relationship has faced, saying, “It’s like we selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women. We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance… but when that aligns with the version of a person they have in their head that they want to believe is true, they turn it off.”
Looking Ahead to “Wicked”
Fans eagerly anticipating the release of “Wicked” will see more of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater’s on-screen chemistry when the film’s first part hits theatres on November 27th, 2024. Grande stars as the good witch Glinda, while Slater takes on the role of Boq, the Munchkin who harbours a hopeless crush on the beautiful Galinda (Glinda’s former name).
With their real-life romance now out in the open, audiences can’t wait to witness the magical connection between these two talented performers on the big screen.
