AceShowbiz - Pop star Ariana Grande, 31, and Broadway actor Ethan Slater, 32, attended the Wicked premiere in Sydney on Sunday and shared their first photo together on Instagram on Monday.
Grande posted a carousel of pictures, including a cute image of herself and Slater on some stairs. "Sydney, you have stolen our hearts," she wrote in the caption. Slater later reshared the same image on his Instagram Stories.
The pair met in December 2022 on the U.K. set of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical "Wicked", in which Grande plays Glinda the Good Witch and Slater plays the munchkin Boq. Grande and Slater's relationship had previously been rumored, but they had kept it private. However, they made it Instagram official with their joint appearance at the Wicked premiere.
The couple's resemblance to each other has sparked comments on social media, with many fans noting their "uncanny" likeness. Some have even suggested they look like siblings.
Grande previously dated rapper Mac Miller and had a brief engagement with "Saturday Night Live" alum Pete Davidson. Slater was married to singer Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a 2-year-old son.
Despite the public scrutiny they have faced, both Grande and Slater have expressed their support for each other. In a recent interview with GQ, Slater said of Grande, "She's poured herself into [Wicked], and I'm really excited to be there for this next step of it."
The "Journey Through Oz" press tour for "Wicked" will continue in Los Angeles, Mexico City, New York and London before the film opens in U.S. theaters on November 22.
