Music sensation Ariana Grande and her beau, Ethan Slater, made a rare public outing at the Stanley Cup Final in Florida. The couple, who began dating in summer 2023, were all smiles as they cheered on the Florida Panthers, donning the team’s jerseys. Grande, known for her playful fashion, sported cat ears, perhaps a nod to her new single, “The Boy Is Mine,” and its Catwoman-themed music video.
The song, released in June 2024, features a catchy chorus with lyrics like, “The boy is mine / I can’t wait to try him.” The track is from Grande’s seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, which dropped in March and marked her return to music after taking on the iconic role of Glinda in the Wicked film adaptation. In the highly anticipated movie, Grande stars alongside Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey, as well as Slater, whom she met on set.
Their relationship blossomed after both ended their previous marriages. Grande and Slater share a love for theater and a “dorky” side, as an insider described it. Their romance has largely been kept under wraps, but they have been spotted at Disneyland, CinemaCon, and around NYC, always looking happy and comfortable together.
Grande, who prefers to keep her personal life private, opened up about the challenges of being in the public eye during her relationship with Slater. In an interview, she expressed her frustration with people misunderstanding her loved ones and the scrutiny they face. Despite this, she continues to navigate her career and personal life with grace and a positive attitude.
Grande’s new album, Eternal Sunshine, also reflects her life experiences. While some songs are purely conceptual, others draw from her personal life. She acknowledged that listeners might make assumptions, but she remains true to herself and her art.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater continue to enjoy their time together, whether it’s at a hockey game or a casual outing. Their relationship, though kept largely private, exudes a sense of fun and mutual adoration.
