Summary
- Grande expressed immense pride in Slater's recent off-Broadway production.
- The couple faced a 'rough patch' in late 2025 but is now stronger.

Ariana Grande recently took to Instagram to share her pride in her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, as his off-Broadway play, "Marcel on the Train," concluded its run. Grande, 32, posted on her story, "Congratulations on a beautiful run of this very beautiful show. So very proud," accompanied by emojis.
The couple, who met while filming the "Wicked" movie adaptation, faced public speculation about their relationship's stability. Reports surfaced in early 2026 indicating they had experienced a significant "rough patch" in late 2025, leading to uncertainty about their future.
Despite not officially breaking up, insiders revealed the pair dedicated time to working on their relationship. They are now reported to be in a much stronger position, having spent holidays together with Grande's family. Slater's attendance at Grande's "Saturday Night Live" events was also linked to their renewed closeness.
An anonymous source suggested Grande is drawn to partners she perceives as less conventionally attractive, attributing this to her own insecurities. This dynamic has been part of their journey as they navigated the public attention surrounding their romance, which became public in July 2025.
