Ariana Grande Shares Sweet Moment with Boyfriend Ethan Slater While Adjusting His Bow Tie at L.A. “Wicked” Premiere

Grande and Slater, who play Glinda and Boq in ‘Wicked,’ met while filming the movie in late 2022

Ariana Grande is all about lending a helping hand.

The Eternal Sunshine singer, 31, shared a cute moment with her boyfriend Ethan Slater at the Los Angeles premiere of their movie Wicked when she adjusted his bow tie on the red carpet on Saturday, Nov. 9.

The moment occurred as the pop star and Slater, 32, posed for photos at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion alongside Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum and other Wicked castmates, as well as the stars of the show's original Broadway run, Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.

Grande reached out and — smiling widely — straightened Slater's tie.

The "We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" singer paid homage to her Wicked character Glinda in a custom Thom Browne pink-and-white gingham dress with a bolero jacket, completing the look with gloves and an elegant updo. Slater, meanwhile, sported a sharp velvet green suit.

The SpongeBob SquarePants musical alum also spoke about the challenges of a public-facing relationship, saying there is "something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public."

"Some of the hard parts that you’re talking about are the personal-life stuff that everybody in the world goes through," he said. "And so I am really focused on the real people in my life, who those things affect, and doing right by every real person and not the Twitter people who comment on it."
