Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are enjoying an exciting new chapter in their relationship, thriving in a “honeymoon phase of pure bliss.” Their bond only deepens after the immense success of Wicked, in which they star together. According to insiders, the couple shares a strong connection, with Ariana, 31, feeling this relationship offers something unique she’s never had before.
The Wicked press tour further solidified their bond, with Ariana reportedly “over the moon” about Ethan, 32. Their relationship is described as “living in bliss,” with mutual friends expressing full support for their romance. This dynamic marks a refreshing change for Ariana, who is savoring a healthier, slower-paced connection after past experiences of moving quickly in relationships.
The pair began their journey together in mid-2023 after both ended their respective marriages. Ariana had been married to Dalton Gomez for two years, while Ethan was with Lilly Jay for four years, with whom he shares a 2-year-old son. Sources reveal Ariana is content with how things are now and has no plans to rush into another marriage, focusing instead on the present.
Currently, Ariana and Ethan “practically live together” in New York City as they build their life together. Ariana reportedly embraced this new phase as a much-needed change after her divorce, finding happiness and stability with Ethan. Their relationship has become an integral part of their day-to-day lives, blending seamlessly into each other’s routines.
After completing the Wicked press tour, the couple spent quality time at Ariana’s Los Angeles home and have plans to celebrate the holidays together. Their connection extends beyond just the two of them; Ethan has grown close to Ariana’s family, including her mother, Joan Grande, and her brother, Frankie Grande, which has further strengthened their bond.
The couple remains ecstatic over the success of Wicked, which has been a milestone for both their careers and personal lives. They continue to celebrate together, embracing the joy and excitement this chapter has brought. With their shared enthusiasm and support for one another, Ariana and Ethan appear to be thriving in a world of happiness and success.
