Ariana Grande And Ethan Slater are enchanted by each other!
The Bad costars, who have been dating since July 2023, put on a sweet display at the National Board of Review Awards in New York City on Tuesday, January 7, as they celebrated their film winning Best Picture.
Grande, 31, linked her arm through Slater’s as they took the stage to accept the award with costar Cynthia Erivo. The couple was also photographed cozying up during the ceremony, with Grande resting her face against Slater’s. At one point they seemed to enjoy talking to another guest Kieran Culkin.
For Tuesday’s red carpet, Grande continued to channel her Bad character, Glinda, in a baby pink dress with spaghetti straps. She wore her hair in a tight ponytail. Slater, meanwhile, looked dapper in a shiny black suit.
Grande and Slater first met on the set of Bad December 2022. We weekly confirmed that they were dating in July 2023 following the end of their respective marriages. (Grande was married to Dalton Gomezwhile Slater shares a son with ex Lilly Jay.)
A source said this in December Us that the couple is completely in love with each other while celebrating Bad‘s blockbuster. (The film grossed over $450 million in the US)

“Ariana and Ethan have written a whole new book together,” the source said Us exclusively. Even though they’ve been together for more than a year, they’re “still in the honeymoon phase of pure bliss,” a second insider shared.
“The Wicked press tour has made their relationship go from strength to strength, and Ariana is thrilled for Ethan,” the source continued. “They have so much in common, something Ari never had with previous relationships.”
Grande’s romance with Slater is “a new dynamic” for the singer, the second insider shared Us. The first source added that the couple is “living in bliss” following the release of Wicked, adding that “their friends are fully behind them.”
In an interview with GQ in October, Slater opened up about his relationship with the “Into You” singer, which began shortly after they both separated from their spouses. Both actors denied cheating on their then-partners amid widespread speculation.
“It was obviously a very big year, and I think there was something very difficult about having things in your private life commented on and viewed by the public,” he said. “There were a lot of big changes in private lives that actually happened, so it’s very difficult to have people who don’t know anything about what’s happening comment and speculate and then get things wrong about the people you love. So to address that part of it, it feels very difficult.
