Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a> and Ethan Slater<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s romance has been going strong since last summer, and they\u2019ve kept the details of their relationship out of the public eye. However, the two appeared in a Wicked<\/em> cast reunion photo together, which was shared to Instagram<\/a> on Wednesday, April 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the rainbow to be reunited with this magical family!\u201d actor Jeff Goldblum<\/strong> captioned the post. The image featured him standing next to Ariana, 30, Ethan, 31, Cynthia Erivo<\/strong><\/a>, Michelle Yeoh<\/strong><\/a> and Jonathan Bailey<\/strong> as they posed in front of a makeup mirror. The \u201cYes, And?\u201d artist puckered her face for the camera while she cuddled closer to Ethan.<\/p>\n

The selfie appeared to have been taken at CinemaCon in Las Vegas that day. Ariana wore a thematic pink mini dress to the event, honoring her character, Glinda, while Cynthia embraced Elphaba by wearing a bright green fashion piece.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

As the two leading ladies took the CinemaCon stage, they held hands and spoke to the crowd about the hard work that went into the upcoming adaptation of the hit Broadway production.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both felt such a tremendous responsibility to honor these women and to pour our hearts, our souls, our tears \u2014 so many different pairs of lashes,\u201d Ariana said before pointing out that playing Glinda was a \u201cdream role\u201d for her since she saw the show as a kid. \u201cWhen I was 10 years old, I saw Wicked<\/em> on Broadway for the first time. I remember it so clearly because that was the instant that I knew I really wanted to play Glinda one day. It became my dream role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ariana and Ethan met in 2022 while filming the upcoming movie. Both were married to their respective spouses at the time \u2014 Ariana was with her now-ex-husband, Dalton Gomez<\/strong><\/a>, while Ethan was with his estranged wife, Lilly Jay<\/strong><\/a>. In July 2023, multiple outlets confirmed that Ariana and Ethan were dating.<\/p>\n

By that point, the \u201cBreak Free\u201d hitmaker had already split from Dalton earlier that year. They finalized their divorce in October 2023. As for Ethan, he filed for divorce from Lilly the same month that reports surfaced of his relationship with Ariana. As a result, the Broadway actor and the former Victorious<\/em> actress faced controversy over the timing of their romance.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the news broke of Ariana and Ethan\u2019s relationship, Lilly broke her silence on the situation, calling Ariana \u201cnot a girl\u2019s girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethan and Lilly share a son together and were high school sweethearts. The co-parents have not finalized their divorce yet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
