Ethan Slater Was Asked About Ariana Grande’s VMA Wins, And His Answer Was Super Sweet: ‘It’s A Special Thing To See’

by

Famous couples often garner a lot of interest from the public, such as Taylor Swift with Travis Kelce. Another couple that has been in the spotlight for several years is Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater, who met during the filming of the “Wicked” movies (the first one can be streamed with an Amazon Prime subscription). This year, Ariana Grande won a significant award at the VMAs, causing her partner and co-star to express how “remarkable” it was to witness her receiving her due recognition.

Grande has been on a roll lately with awards, including her recent Oscar nomination for Wicked. While we wait for Wicked: For Good‘s release date, the 32-year-old multitalent took home three Moonmen at the VMAs. While speaking with THR at the premiere for the second season of Gen V, Slater spoke about what it was like seeing Grande get her flowers. In his words:

It’s truly evident that her extraordinary talent merits those accolades. ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ is undeniably deserving of the awards, not just for its artistic value but also because of her exceptional behavior towards her colleagues and her generous collaboration. It’s a unique and inspiring spectacle to witness.

It appears that Slater is not only an excellent actor, as evidenced by his role in Gen V Season 2, but also a genuinely supportive partner. He couldn’t help but praise Ariana Grande during the premiere, commenting on her talent and character. Despite their relationship’s rocky start, they currently seem to be very content together.

Mentioned earlier, the celebrity couple who starred in the musical “Wicked” generated lots of media attention when they began dating, which was around 2023. According to reports, they met on set and their relationship became public. However, Slater’s former partner claimed that he abandoned her and their child for the pop singer, causing some unfavorable coverage. Despite this, they remain together currently without any indications of a breakup.

Currently, this duo of actors/singers is recognized for openly expressing a great deal of affection towards each other. For instance, Grande frequently praises him during photo shoots, referring to him as “the contemporary Buster Keaton,” or Slater regularly shares posts about Grande’s Oscar nomination. It appears that there’s a lot of love between them, and the public’s perception of them is constantly evolving.

The well-known Broadway duo, Grande and Slater, are set to hit the road together soon, as the release date for “Wicked: For Good” approaches rapidly. They will once again take on their roles as Glinda and Boq in this sequel film, which is anticipated to be based on the second act of the stage musical. This adaptation could provide more intricate ties to “The Wizard of Oz“, and it’s set to introduce two new songs created specifically for the movie.

The musical “Wicked” will premiere in theaters on November 21st, 2025, as part of the upcoming film lineup. Let’s hope for some adorable red-carpet moments with Slater and Grand sharing the spotlight!
