Ariana Grande is “very excited” for the world to meet her “amazing” boyfriend Ethan Slater.
The “Sweetener” singer couldn’t help but gush over her new beau at the “Wicked” premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday as the two shared another sweet moment on the red carpet.
“He’s still so adorable and he’s so amazing in this movie. He’s such an incredible person,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m so happy that people are getting to know him. My heart is very happy.
Earlier on the carpet, Grande was seen helping Slater fix his bow tie, which he paired with a green velvet suit jacket and black pants for the special event. This cute moment was quickly captured by photographers.
Slater was also seen tending to his girlfriend. At the premiere in Sydney, Australia, Slater was photographed helping Grande with the train on her dress while she walked.
When asked how she felt about the gesture, Grande assured the outlet that she was “always” in good hands, saying, “It’s always that way.”
Grande and Slater began dating after meeting on the set of the film adaptation of “Wicked.” They faced increased scrutiny, however, as they had just ended their respective marriages.
The Nickelodeon alum broke up with Dalton Gomez after two years of marriage in January 2023. Gomez and Grande settled their divorce in October 2023.
Slater filed for divorce from his now ex-wife, Lilly Jay, in July 2023 after nearly four years of marriage.
Rumors suggest there may have been some overlap in their relationship timeline after Slater’s ex-wife said Grande was “not a girl’s girl,” sparking an uproar in line against the “7 Rings” singer, with some calling her a “household destroyer.”
Earlier this month, the Broadway star opened up about his relationship with Grande, telling GQ that it was “hard” to bring his new relationship to the public.
“I think there was something really difficult about having things in your private life being commented on and watched by the public,” Slater said at the time.
“There have been a lot of big changes in personal life that were actually happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s going on commenting and speculating and then being wrong about the people you love So just to address this part of the problem, it seems really difficult.
