Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Celebrate the Holidays Together in Charming Photos
Ethan Slater recently shared several images of Ariana Grande on his Instagram Stories, hinting that the two spent the holiday season together. In the photos, Grande is pictured wearing a black turtleneck while cuddling with a dog.
These images emerge amid speculation regarding their relationship following the press tour for Wicked: For Good. Grande later reposted the images, accompanied by a heart emoji, suggesting mutual affection. In one of the posts, Slater expressed holiday cheer with the caption, "Very merry holidays."
Images shared by Grande’s friend Doug Middlebrook also captured the holiday gathering, featuring mutual friends including Bowen Yang, who appeared alongside the couple in Wicked.
The couple’s cozy moments come after a press tour marked by a certain distance, as they mostly posed separately on red carpets, fueling breakup rumors. However, both Slater and Grande addressed these concerns in November. Slater praised Grande’s performance, saying, "Ariana [Grande]’s performance is out of this world and Cynthia [Erivo]’s performance is unbelievable."
In a show of support, Grande reshared Slater’s Wicked set photos, adding a heart emoji. The pair also appeared together in a rare photo, dismissing the swirling breakup rumors.
In addition to these gestures, Slater quietly supported Grande as she hosted Saturday Night Live on December 20, being present in backstage photos shared by her friend Liz Gillies.
This holiday glimpse into their relationship appears to indicate that any earlier rumors may not hold true, suggesting a strong bond between Slater and Grande moving forward.
