Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Reunite for Wicked Premiere, Squashing Breakup Rumors

On November 18, 2025, pop star Ariana Grande, 32, and actor Ethan Slater, 33, attended the Wicked: For Good premiere in New York City, seemingly putting to rest rumors of their relationship's demise. The couple, who met while filming the upcoming Wicked movie, appeared together on the red carpet, dispelling reports that their two-year romance was crumbling.

This public appearance comes over a year after Ethan finalized his divorce from his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, in 2023. The exes share a three-year-old son, whom they welcomed in August 2022. Ariana and Ethan's relationship had previously been the subject of controversy, with Ariana being labeled a "homewrecker" when news of their romance broke shortly after her split from husband Dalton Gomez.

Despite the ups and downs, the couple has remained committed to supporting each other's careers, making joint appearances at various awards shows and events related to the Wicked project. Their latest public outing at the Wicked: For Good premiere suggests that they are weathering the storm and maintaining a united front as they prepare for the film's November 21 release.
