Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are giving us a glimpse into their romance with some super rare photos! The couple, who are also Wicked costars, have been making waves since they were first linked romantically in the summer of 2023, and their love story continues to captivate us months later. With rumors swirling that their relationship is “getting more serious,” fans have been eagerly awaiting any glimpse of the adorable duo together.
And boy, did they deliver! On Wednesday (April 10), Ariana and Ethan treated fans to not one, but two new photos that were snapped at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nevada. Talk about a double dose of cuteness!
During the star-studded event, Ariana, who dazzles as Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movie, took to the stage alongside Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba), Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible), Jeff Goldblum (the Wizard of Oz), and Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero). But here’s the exciting part – Ethan, who portrays Boq, was also in attendance! Jeff and director Jon M. Chu delighted fans by sharing behind-the-scenes snapshots of the cast, giving us a rare peek into their magical world.
In one heartwarming photo posted by Jon on Instagram, the cast is seen gathered together backstage, moments before their big stage appearance. And guess who’s standing right behind Ariana? That’s right – Ethan! Surrounding them are the beaming faces of Jeff, Michelle, Cynthia, and Jonathan, radiating excitement and anticipation for what’s to come in Wicked this Thanksgiving. Jon captioned the photo: “This is the moment before we walked out on stage together and presented our biggest public peek at what’s to come in Wicked this Thanksgiving. We’ve waiting a long time for this day. Thank you CinemaCon for such a warm welcome. 💚”
Jeff also shared a delightful group mirror selfie featuring all of his castmates, including the adorable couple. In the sweet snapshot, Ariana and Ethan are cozied up together, with Ari playfully pouting her lips – could they be any cuter? Jeff wrote a sweet and simple caption with the photo: “Over the rainbow to be reunited with this magical family,”
Of course, Ariana and Ethan couldn’t resist sharing these precious moments with their fans, and both posts quickly made their way to their Instagram stories, sending hearts aflutter across social media.
But wait, there’s more! The Daily Mail even snagged some candid photos of the lovebirds holding hands outside the venue, further confirming that their bond is as strong as ever. And judging by the radiant smiles on their faces, it’s clear that they’re positively glowing in each other’s company.
As we eagerly await the release of Wicked this Thanksgiving, we can’t help but feel grateful for these rare glimpses into their romance.
