If you miss last year\u2019s emotional Wicked press tour<\/a>, you\u2019re in luck \u2014 the cast is back again to promote the much-awaited sequel, Wicked: For Good<\/a>. But you know who we haven\u2019t really seen together? Ariana Grande<\/a> and Ethan Slater. The couple has been doing promo for the movie separately and standing pretty far apart during group shots on the red carpet, causing speculation that their romance is over.<\/p>\n Despite the rumors, sources \u201cclose to the couple\u201d told TMZ<\/a> that they are \u201cabsolutely still together romantically.\u201d The tabloid also reports that witnesses at the London premiere saw Grande and Slater holding hands and being affectionate backstage. For what it\u2019s worth, they also appear to be actively liking one another\u2019s Instagrams, which is a tell-tale sign that a celebrity couple is still on good terms. In case you need more proof, Grande posted a slideshow of images to Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday night that includes a photo of her arm-in-arm with Slater.<\/p>\n Slater and Grande have been together for over two years now. They met (and apparently bonded) in December 2022, when filming for both Wicked and Wicked: For Good began. In July 2023, TMZ broke the news that the co-stars were dating<\/a> while still being married to their exes, Dr. Lilly Jay<\/a> and Dalton Gomez<\/a>. At the time, a source told People<\/a> that Grande and Gomez had separated in January, adding that \u201cshe and Ethan recently began dating, and he is separated from his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Wicked: For Good premieres on November 21, these two still have an entire awards season to get through. Will they be cozying it up at the 2026 Oscars? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
