Ariana Grande, known for her vocal prowess and hit singles, is proving that when it comes to her love life, she’s not shy to let it shine. The “Thank u, next” singer was recently spotted on a romantic dinner date with her new beau, Ethan Slater, on October 21, further solidifying their budding romance.
The duo, who previously shared the Broadway stage in “Wicked,” were seen enjoying each other’s company at a table within the upscale MO Lounge, nestled in the heart of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City, according to TMZ. What was evident from their dinner date was their undeniable chemistry and affectionate gestures, which they couldn’t seem to keep to themselves.
Their romance first came to light in July, following Ariana’s separation from her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez. The divorce proceedings were recently concluded earlier this month, marking the end of that chapter.
Ethan Slater, a talented Broadway actor, has been living separately from his wife, Lilly Jay, since earlier this year. The couple shares the joy of parenthood, with a one-year-old son to care for.
What’s particularly intriguing about Ariana and Ethan’s connection is that, according to a source cited by the Daily Mail, they had been sharing living space even before Ariana initiated divorce proceedings. Their relationship seems to have blossomed over time.
An insider, speaking to ET, highlighted the creative and supportive aspects of their partnership. “Ariana is captivated by Ethan’s extraordinary talents, and she appreciates the artistic bond they share. Their connection challenges them artistically,” the source explained.
It’s a relationship that seems to be built on a strong foundation of mutual respect and artistic camaraderie. As their love story continues to unfold, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are proving that they’re not afraid to let their romance take center stage. Their ability to inspire and uplift one another both personally and professionally is becoming increasingly evident, cementing their status as a notable and celebrated couple in the world of entertainment.
