AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande, 31, and her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, 32, are gearing up for Christmas in the city that never sleeps. The power couple was spotted browsing Christmas trees in New York, a moment captured by a fan who shared their excitement on Instagram.
"They were both super sweet. I don't remember much because I was so excited but they were really really nice as I just lovebombed them for about a minute," the fan shared in a comment.
While the couple enjoyed a quiet and romantic outing, bundled up against the cold, their latest film, "Wicked", continues to make waves at the box office. Released on November 22, "Wicked" pulled in an impressive $114 million during its first weekend in theaters, making it the seventh-highest grossing film of 2024 in just ten days, according to Box Office Mojo.
In "Wicked", Ethan Slater takes on the role of Boq, a classmate of Grande's character, Glinda, at Shiz University. Their off-screen chemistry was confirmed in July 2023 after Grande's separation from ex-husband Dalton Gomez and Slater's from ex-wife, Lilly Jay.
During an October 30 interview with GQ, Slater expressed his admiration for Grande's dedication to her role in the film. "She's poured herself into it," he said. "I'm really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did."
Grande, equally supportive, praised Slater during the Los Angeles premiere of "Wicked" on November 9, describing him as "always adorable, and he's so amazing in this film, he's such an amazing person."
As they prepare for Christmas, Grande and Slater's careers continue to flourish, with fans eagerly awaiting their next professional and personal milestones. Their heartwarming public interactions and mutual admiration have only made them more endearing to audiences around the world. Grande, reflecting on the joy of seeing the world appreciate Slater, summed it up perfectly, "My heart is very happy."
