Ariana Grande and her boyfriend Ethan Slater were seen holding hands as they arrived in New York City together. They were photographed at JFK Airport wearing matching black outfits. Ariana's dog Toulouse accompanied them on the trip. Ariana, 30, carried Toulouse's pink leash and a sleek tote while Ethan, 31, held a pink shopping bag. Ariana wore a hat promoting the film "Wicked," the same movie where she and Ethan met. She dressed casually in a grey crewneck, joggers, and fur-accented footwear.
Ethan wore a white t-shirt, joggers, and Nike trainers. He carried his belongings in a rugged brown bag.
The couple continued to hold hands as they took the escalator and waited outside the airport. Ariana was surprised with a bouquet of sunflowers and purple flowers. The outing took place a day before Ariana's latest track, "Yes, And?," reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. The song seems to address the criticism Ariana received for her relationship with Ethan.
Ariana and Ethan met in December 2022 on the set of the film adaptation of "Wicked." Ariana plays Glinda, the good witch, while Ethan plays munchkin Boq. In "Yes, And?," Ariana also addresses concerns about her appearance and asks listeners not to comment on her body.
The song is the lead track for Ariana's upcoming seventh studio album. The couple was also seen with balloons, and "Wicked" is expected to be released in November 2024.
