Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater made their public debut as a couple in style at the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked. The pair, who star as Glinda and Boq in the highly anticipated film, showcased their affection on the red carpet. Grande was seen tenderly adjusting Ethan Slater bowtie, a sweet moment that didn’t go unnoticed.
‘Wicked’ Premiere
The pop star, 31 looked radiant in a Thom Browne pink-and-white striped dress, accented with pearl earrings, matching gloves, and a bow headpiece. Meanwhile, Slater 32 was dapper in a green velvet blazer paired with black trousers and a crisp white shirt. The chemistry between the two was evident as they posed alongside their co-stars, including Cynthia Erivo.
This premiere is a significant moment for both Grande and Slater. Ethan Slater recently shared in an interview with GQ his admiration for Grande’s commitment to her role in Wicked. “I’m incredibly proud of Ari and the heart she’s put into this project,” he remarked. “The world is going to see something truly remarkable when the film is released.”
Their appearance comes at a time of professional and personal transition. Slater spoke candidly about the challenges of public scrutiny surrounding their relationship, which began in mid-2023 during his separation from his wife, Lilly Jay. In his interview, he emphasized, “Navigating changes in private life while facing public speculation is never easy, especially when it involves people you care deeply about.”
Building a New Chapter Together
Grande’s journey to this premiere followed her own split from Dalton Gomez earlier in 2023. Since their romance became public, both stars have remained supportive of one another’s careers while handling media attention with grace. Grande has also used her platform to showcase her excitement about Wicked, frequently sharing updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses.
Their mutual admiration and respect were on full display at the premiere, marking a promising chapter for the couple as they embark on this new journey together, both on and off screen.
