Grande and Slater both attended CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas to promote Wicked, after which they were spotted packing on PDA while having dinner at Nobu Caesars Palace. Grande was seen leaning in to give her boyfriend a kiss, while Slater lovingly placed his hand on the back of her chair.

When the Wicked press tour got started, no one could really predict what would happen. After all, while star Ariana Grande developed an on-screen romance with co-star Ethan Slater, speculation about an overlap with their previous relationships meant their relationship got major backlash from the get-go.

Ariana Grande and her Wicked costar Ethan Slater, who have been dating since 2023, enjoyed a date night at the 2025 National Board of Review Awards in New York City Jan. 7.
