Ariana Grande is ‘happy’ fans are getting acquainted with boyfriend Ethan Slater during Wicked press tour

Ariana Grande is ‘so happy’ the world is getting to know her Wicked co-star turned boyfriend, Ethan Slater.

The 7 Rings singer, 31 — who recently looked painfully thin in a plunging gown — opened up to Entertainment Tonight during the LA premiere of their upcoming musical, calling the Broadway vet ‘adorable.’

On Saturday, she rhapsodized the actor’s performance and briefly got candid about their low-profile relationship.

She told the outlet: ‘He’s always adorable, and he’s so amazing in this film, he’s such an amazing person, I’m so happy people are getting to know him. 

‘My heart is very happy,’ she gushed.

The outlet also caught up with Slater who underscored the upside about working on the musical-film with his A-list girlfriend of over a year.

‘I am so proud of Ariana,’ the actor said, who plays a munchkin named Boq in Wicked. 

‘She’s incredible in this movie, and then to be able to share in the celebration of it, I’m just grateful,’ he fawned over his lady love.

The duo’s sweet interviews come after Slater laid bare emotional information about his and Ariana’s discreet link after it went public.

He claimed 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.’

The pair met back in 2022 when casted in their forthcoming film.

At the time, Ethan was married to his high school sweetheart Lilly Jay and had just welcomed a baby boy — Ariana was wed to celebrity real estate broker Dalton Gomez.

The actors called it quits with their respective partners as rumors swirled that a romanced has sparked between the two on set.

They went public with their relationship in July 2023.

Though Ari and Ethan don’t post pictures or show obvious affection online. They instead hint at their connection with small gestures on social media such as sharing inside jokes, or using symbols as nods to each other.

Wicked will see the Dangerous Woman songstress shift gears from her belting popstar persona to a Broadway-opera style of singing for the H๏τly anticipated project.
