As a seasoned observer of the ever-spinning wheel of celebrity romance, I find myself both captivated and saddened by the latest developments in the lives of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater. Their tumultuous love story, filled with highs and lows, mirrors the very themes that make their respective roles in “Wicked” so compelling.

On a chilly Tuesday in New York City, Ariana Grande wrapped herself up against the cold autumnal breeze, leaving the CBS Broadcast Center in Midtown Manhattan.

Instead of wearing a large black puffer coat like the character Elphaba Thropp, played by her co-star Cynthia Erivo from “Wicked”, the 31-year-old pop star seemed to embody that role.

Spectators cheered loudly and became excited when they saw Ariana getting into a parked SUV following the recording of Thursday’s episode on The Drew Barrymore Show.

On the syndicated show, Grande (previously known as Butera) donned a pink and grey striped corset by Thom Browne, paired with a matching midi-skirt and gray heels chosen by stylist Mimi Cuttrell.

When the 49-year-old host presented the two-time Grammy winner with the authentic Glinda wand from The Wizard of Oz (borrowed from a private collector), she playfully acted as if she were secretly taking it.

‘Are you serious right now?’ Ariana asked covering her mouth.

‘Thank you guys, it’s been fun. Bye! I’m kidding. I’m kidding.’

Later, Grande switched to a new outfit, adorning a diamond choker and black Christian Louboutin heels.

Hairstylist Michael Anthony changed the Florida-born singer’s morning top knot into a pretend French braid for the afternoon.

In this scenario, make-up artist Gabor Kerekes shaped and accentuated Ariana’s skin tone using contouring techniques, added false eyelashes to her eyes, and enhanced her lips with a glossy lip color.

Taylor Swift is diligently working to publicize her character, Glinda Upland (the Good Witch of the South), in Jon M. Chu’s high-budget ($150M) film version of the 2003 Broadway musical.

Last month, Gold Derby reported that the former Nickelodeon child star ‘now places among the top five most likely supporting actress contenders’ for the 2025 Oscars due to her performance.

This critically praised fantasy movie has earned a staggering $366 million at worldwide theaters since its release on November 22.

Ariana developed a well-known romance with her fellow actor Ethan Slater, who portrays Boq (originally a munchkin turned tinman), during the filming of Wicked in London between December 9, 2022 and July 13, 2023.

32-year-old Tony nominee, Tony, officially ended his marriage with his long-time girlfriend and mother of his 21-month-old son, Ezra, Lilly Jay, on September 12. This separation left Lilly feeling distressed.

‘[Ariana’s] the story, really. Not a girl’s girl,’ Jay scoffed to Page Six on July 27.

‘My family is just collateral damage.’

In October 2023, Ariana Grande concluded her divorce from her husband Dalton Gomez (a real estate agent), who she had been married to for 21 months. Previously, in 2019, she was engaged to Pete Davidson (the creator-star of Bupkis) for a duration of four months.

This past Friday, the founder of R.E.M. Beauty, along with Ethan, purchased a Christmas tree from Yianni Karadimas’ Christmas tree lot situated at 62nd and Broadway. Fan Ally Bouska shared this festive moment on Instagram.

Part two of Wicked doesn’t hit US theaters until November 26, 2025.

Ariana received three nominations, one of them being ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ for Eternal Sunshine, during the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony. The awards show will be broadcasted on CBS on February 2.
