Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are currently in a stable relationship, despite not making a joint appearance at the recent Golden Globes event. Ariana walked the red carpet with her close friend Doug Middlebrook before the ceremony amidst speculations about her relationship status with Ethan, whom she has been dating since July 2023. Reports in 2025 suggested that their relationship had been tumultuous throughout the year.

However, sources close to the couple have revealed that they are now stronger than ever. It was explained that Ariana had to prioritize promoting their movie, “Wicked: For Good,” in recent months, leading them to opt for quality time together away from the public eye. According to an insider quoted in the Daily Mail, Ariana had focused on the movie promotion, temporarily placing Ethan on the sidelines. Nevertheless, they are described as being very content together, preferring simple activities like playing board games and watching shows at home.

During the theatrical release of “Wicked: For Good” in November, Ariana and her co-star Cynthia Erivo engaged in an extensive promotional tour worldwide. Ethan, who portrays Boq in the film, only made appearances at the premieres in New York and London. When asked about working with his girlfriend daily on the Today show, Ethan praised the entire cast without specifically addressing his relationship with Ariana.

Fans noted that both Ethan and Ariana actively avoided posing together in photos during the promotional tour of the movie. The source indicated that Ethan understood the importance of Ariana and Cynthia promoting the film as leads, rather than focusing on his relationship with Ariana. Ethan’s professionalism and understanding of the industry were highlighted as reasons for his supportive stance.

Although rumors had circulated about their relationship, Ariana and Ethan displayed affection at the New York premiere of their movie in November. The couple, who have been together since July 2023, presented a united front after being absent from public appearances together for several months. Their relationship initially gained attention when Ariana had just ended her marriage with Dalton Gomez, while Ethan was still married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay. Ariana was previously criticized for allegedly having an affair with Ethan, causing controversy surrounding their relationship.

In a personal essay published by a subset of New York Magazine, Lilly expressed her shock and frustration over the public exposure of her marriage downfall due to Ethan and Ariana’s relationship. Despite the controversies, Ariana and Ethan have continued their relationship, displaying solidarity at public events.
