Ariana Grande And Ethan Slater Go Out For Dinner With Her Dad
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were recently seen enjoying a delightful evening out in the bustling streets of New York City. The singer and Broadway sensation stepped out together, creating a buzz among their fans and supporters.
On that Friday night, the duo embarked on a journey that included dinner at Ariana’s family’s beloved Italian restaurant, joined by none other than her father, Ed Butera. Following the meal, the pair made their way to the theater to catch Ethan’s performance in Spamalot.
Ariana, 30, sported an elegant all-black ensemble, complete with a furry bucket hat, a stylish mini skirt, and a black top adorned with furry cuffs. Meanwhile, 31-year-old Slater opted for an athletic look, donning a zip-up jacket, comfortable joggers, and sleek running shoes.
What’s truly heartening about this couple is their unwavering support for each other’s careers. A close source revealed, “They love to support each other in their work. When she’s done with work, Ariana loves going to the theater when she can.”
A testament to Ariana’s passion for the theater was her recent Instagram carousel, featuring a unique ornament – a Spam can – hanging on a Christmas tree made of lush green garland. It’s a delightful nod to Spamalot, the 2005 Tony-winning musical based on Monty Python and The Holy Grail, which is currently enjoying a revival on Broadway, with Ethan playing a variety of roles in the production.
Ariana has been an ardent supporter of Spamalot, making frequent visits to the St. James Theatre in New York City to witness Ethan’s outstanding performance. Her enthusiastic cheers were heard during the show’s first preview performance on Halloween, and she graced the opening night of this Broadway gem on November 15.
The love story between the Thank You, Next hitmaker and Ethan began to blossom on the set of the highly anticipated movie adaptation of Wicked. Their romance emerged publicly in July, following Ariana’s separation from her husband, Dalton Gomez, and Ethan’s own separation from wife Lilly Jay. Ariana and Dalton finalized their divorce in October after two years of marriage.
What further binds this enchanting couple is their shared love for musical theater. Slater made his Broadway debut in 2017, portraying the titular character in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical. Meanwhile, Ariana herself embarked on her journey in the world of Broadway, earning her first significant credit in Jason Robert Brown’s 2008 musical, 13.
Despite their newfound love being in the spotlight, Ariana and Ethan have chosen to keep their relationship private, navigating this exciting chapter of their lives together discreetly. As one source noted in September, “They are just trying to navigate their new relationship in private.”
