Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater, the popular celebrity couple, were recently spotted enjoying a rare night out in New York City. Accompanied by Grande’s father, Ed Butera, and a girlfriend, the couple seemed to be in high spirits just days before Christmas. According to an exclusive source close to Grande, they had a lovely dinner at her family’s favorite Italian restaurant. The group also attended Slater’s new Broadway musical, “Spamalot,” showing their unwavering support for each other’s work.
As they stepped out of their black luxury SUV, the entire group made a stylish entrance. Grande, known for her fashion-forward choices, donned an all-black ensemble, consisting of a mini skirt, semi-sheer tights, a button-down sweater with fur-lined sleeves, and a matching bucket hat. She completed her look with a black purse, sparkling crystal earrings, and a long black coat. Interestingly, she sported a honey-colored hairstyle instead of her usual platinum blonde, which she had for her role in the film “Wicked,” where she and Slater first crossed paths. On the other hand, Slater complemented his girlfriend’s style with a fully black outfit. However, he opted for a more casual look with Nike athletic pants and a North Face zip-up.
Grande and Slater have been officially dating since July, as confirmed by Page Six. Their strong bond is evident in the way they support each other’s professional endeavors. When Grande isn’t busy working on new music in the studio, she loves attending the theater and cheering on Slater’s performances. This shared passion for their craft undoubtedly strengthens their connection.

In fact, Grande’s friends have expressed their admiration and love for Slater, a testament to the positive impact he has had on her life.
Before finding happiness with Slater, Grande had a brief marriage to Dalton Gomez. However, their relationship faced challenges brought on by the pandemic and their differing lifestyles, leading to their divorce in October. Similarly, Slater filed for divorce from his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, in July. The separation came as a surprise, as just months prior, Slater had praised Jay as a wonderful mother to their 1-year-old son.
