Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater gave fans an insight into their romance at last night's Critics Choice Awards, cosying up together at their table.
While the pair didn't walk the red carpet together — in fact, they never have — Ariana posed alone in stunning Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2025 Couture (more Critics Choice Awards best dressed here). Inside, however, was a different story, as they sat side-by-side for the ceremony, indulging in some rare PDA.
In a series of images snapped from inside the ceremony, Ariana affectionately cradles Ethan's back, and the pair leaned in to share a few whispers on several occasions. The passion between the pair was undeniable, as they both locked eyes with each other and beamed from ear to ear.
Ariana and Ethan have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, but as the Wicked press tour ramped up last year, more details about their coupling came to light. ICYMI, Ariana was previously married to Dalton Gomez and Ethan was married to (and shares a child with) his ex, Lilly Jay. Despite this, sources have repeatedly insisted that both Ari and Ethan were both separated from their spouses when they began dating.
In total, Wicked — in which both Ariana and Ethan star — was nominated for 11 Critics Choice Awards. By the end of the night, the blockbuster had scooped up three awards: Best Director, Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.
With awards season in full swing (although, partly delayed due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires), we can expect to see Ariana and Ethan a lot more over the coming weeks. Mark your calendars for the Oscars, people! Psst, it's 2 March.
