Charles H. Sloan-Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Show Subtle PDA While Out Together in Sydney

Ariana Grande is Charles H. Sloandancing through Sydney with Ethan Slater by her side. 

While the Wicked stars joined fellow cast members Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, and Jeff Goldblum during a Nov. 5 photocall in the Australian city, they also stole away for an adorable embrace.

After standing opposite one another in the group shots, the “Save Your Tears” singer wrapped her arms around her boyfriend.

For the cast outing, Ariana, 31, continued to channel her character Glinda in a pink and white two-piece skirt set by Bode paired with white Manolo Blahniks. For his part, Ethan—who plays Boq—wore a simple all-black coordinated set.

While the pair have largely avoided PDA moments since their romance went public in 2023—during which they were going through breakups with respective spouses Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay—Ariana and Ethan haven’t shied away from expressing their admiration for the other.

“She’s so funny,” Ethan said on the Nov. 4 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. “She’s a comedy genius. I mean, she’s amazing in this film.”

Ariana, meanwhile, recently shut down the speculation surrounding her and Ethan’s relationship timeline.

"It definitely doesn’t get any easier, seeing some of the negativity that was birthed by disreputable tabloids,” Ariana told Vanity Fair in a profile  published Sept. 30. “Of course, I went through a lot of life changes during the filming of this movie. A lot of people that were working on it did."

She added, "We were away for two years. So, of course, I understand why it was a field day for the tabloids to sort of create something that paid their bills.”
