Ethan Slater, Ariana Grande’s boyfriend, recently made a positive impression on Arianators during a fan interaction. At the Wicked premiere in Sydney on November 3, a fan posted a video on X showing their encounter with the Broadway star, revealing how much Slater values the film’s audience.
In the footage, the fan asked if he could pass along a friendship bracelet to Grande, and Slater enthusiastically responded, “Sure! I think she’ll be coming if you want, but I can give her that! Do you want me to?” He then took the bracelet, adding, “Sure! Yeah, of course! She’ll love it! I’m sure she’ll love it!”

The fan then requested a selfie, and Slater graciously took several sweet photos with them. He finished the interaction by addressing the crowd, saying, “I’m so proud of this movie and I hope you love it. I know you will!”
Grande and Slater’s relationship began on the Wicked set and initially sparked drama, as both were married when they met. Slater had recently welcomed his first child with ex-wife Lilly Jay, while Grande’s divorce from Dalton Gomez became public in September 2023, coinciding with the news of their relationship.
Despite the initial controversy, things have been going smoothly for the couple, and fans have clearly warmed to the idea of them together. Grande also had a memorable moment at the Australian premiere, where a fan handed her their dog during a meet-and-greet.
Surprised, she exclaimed, “Goodness, you’re handing me your dog!” as the fan appeared to take photos of her with the pet. After much anticipation, Wicked will finally hit theaters on November 22.
