Monday, December 22, 2025 - Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are still very much together, despite months of speculation saying otherwise.
Over the weekend, the Broadway actor quietly showed support
for his girlfriend as Ariana hosted Saturday Night Live. While the
couple didn’t pose together publicly, Slater was spotted in Ariana’s backstage
green room in photos shared by her longtime friend and actress Elizabeth
Gillies.
One of the images showed Slater relaxed on a couch alongside
Gillies and fellow performer Aaron Simon Gross, making it clear he was present
behind the scenes, Daily Mail reported.
This appearance comes just days after Ariana shut down
breakup rumours herself by sharing a video of Slater discussing his character’s
journey in Wicked: For Good. The couple had also eased speculation
back in November when they attended the New York City premiere of the musical
film together.
Elizabeth Gillies, who starred alongside Ariana on Victorious,
used the post to shower praise on the singer’s SNL performance.
“Nobody does it like you,” she wrote, calling the episode
“brilliant” and celebrating the night’s highlights, including Bowen Yang’s exit
and surprise appearances.
Earlier this year, fans believed the pair had split after
they went months without being seen together. Reports even claimed the
relationship had been “on and off” throughout the year.
Ariana and Ethan’s romance first became public in 2023,
shortly after Ariana’s split from her ex-husband Dalton Gomez, and while Slater
was still married to Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a son.
