Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Get Cozy During Oscars Commercial Breaks

by

At the 97th Academy Awards in Hollywood on Sunday, Ariana Grande and her boyfriend Ethan Slater, who she co-starred with in Wicked, were seen showing affection during the commercial breaks.

Two individuals, often seen together yet never officially confirmed as a couple on the red carpet, were spotted separately, one hour apart, outside the Dolby Theatre. Their romantic relationship, famously sparked during the filming of the Broadway musical adaptation in London between December 2022 and July 2023, remains unacknowledged.

In September 2023, a controversy erupted around the 31-year-old pop sensation and the 32-year-old Spamalot actor, as he was then still legally married to his longtime girlfriend Lilly Jay, who is reportedly heartbroken, and mother of their two-year-old son Ezra. However, their divorce was finalized in September 2023.

In a post for The Cut last December, the 32-year-old psychologist expressed surprise, stating, ‘I honestly never imagined I would go through a divorce. This was particularly unexpected considering it happened shortly after the birth of our first child and amidst my husband’s new public romance with a famous personality.’

In a bold step, I along with my husband and our two-month-old infant relocated to another nation, backing my spouse’s career. Immersed in the wonder and routine of new parenthood, I failed to grasp the widening gap between us.

In the year 2019, Ariana was romantically linked with Pete Davidson, a personality well-known for creating and starring in Bupkis, but their engagement lasted only four months. Later on, in October 2023, after being married for 21 months, Ariana officially ended her marital relationship with Dalton Gomez who is a real estate agent.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I couldn’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation as I watched Grande’s Oscars opening number alongside Cynthia Erivo. The captivating performance showcased a medley of songs, including the classic “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” “The Wiz,” and the powerful “Defying Gravity.

Slater told ET on Sunday that he hasn’t yet watched it, but he’s making that decision. However, he’s thrilled about seeing it and can hardly contain his excitement.

Let me emphasize that witnessing these two women perform live is an exceptional experience, as anyone who has attended their concerts can attest. They have a unique ability to captivate audiences unlike any other performers, and I am genuinely thrilled about it!

In the course of her performance, the twice Grammy-winning artist switched to a second dazzling Schiaparelli gown, adorned with 150,000 sequins and a hidden ruby slipper at the rear.

In the end, Ariana missed out on winning the Best Supporting Actress award to Emilia Pérez (portrayed by Zoe Saldaña), while Cynthia also failed to win the Best Actress award, losing to Anora’s lead actress, Mikey Madison.

Ariana and Cynthia both didn’t take home the trophies for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress respectively; instead, Zoe Saldaña (as Emilia Pérez) and Mikey Madison (in Anora) were the ones celebrated in those categories.

In the end, Wicked garnered a total of 10 nominations and was awarded for its exceptional production design, which went to Nathan Crowley and Lee Sandales, as well as Paul Tazewell for his outstanding work in costume design.

Audience members will see more of Ariana Grande (formerly known as Butera) portraying the Good Witch Galinda of the South and Tony nominee Boq Woodsman played by an unspecified individual in Jon M. Chu’s upcoming sequel to Wicked, titled “Wicked: For Good.” This highly anticipated film is set to premiere in both US and UK cinemas on November 21.

The first fantasy flick received critical acclaim and amassed $729M at the global box office.

As a passionate admirer, I’m excited to share that the artist born in Florida, known for captivating an audience of 81.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, is preparing to unveil a deluxe version of her seventh studio album titled “Eternal Sunshine.

In the upcoming episode of CBS’ The Good Wife spin-off on April 10th, Ethan is set to appear as Officer Reese Chandler.
