In a recent interview on the ‘SmartLess’ podcast, pop icon Ariana Grande candidly discussed her relationship with actor Ethan Slater, addressing the swirling rumors and providing fans with insight into their connection.
Grande and Slater first met on the set of the upcoming ‘Wicked’ film adaptation in 2022, where they quickly formed a close bond. At the time, both were navigating personal challenges, having recently separated from their respective partners. Their shared experiences and mutual support laid the foundation for a deepening relationship.
During the podcast, Grande praised Slater, describing him as “amazing” and expressing gratitude for their relationship. She also highlighted the importance of maintaining privacy, emphasizing that much of what has been reported in the media is speculative.
Fans have been abuzz since the couple’s relationship became public in July 2023, with many taking to social media to express their support and curiosity. Both Grande and Slater have maintained a relatively low profile, choosing to focus on their careers and personal growth.
As anticipation builds for the release of ‘Wicked,’ audiences are eager to see the on-screen chemistry between Grande and Slater, now knowing the off-screen connection that blossomed during production.
While the couple continues to keep much of their personal life private, Grande’s recent openness offers fans a glimpse into their relationship, quelling some rumors and reaffirming their commitment to each other amidst the challenges of public scrutiny.
