Ariana Grande doesn't usually go by her full name, but there are super-sweet reasons that the "7 Rings" singer used it for her credit in "Wicked."

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ethan Slater has expressed his admiration for Ariana Grande after she received her first Oscar nomination for her role in 'Wicked.' The 32-year-old actor, who has been dating Grande, 31, since 2023, met her on the set of the film where she portrayed Glinda and he played Boq.

While both are attending the 2025 Critics Choice Awards on Friday, Feb. 7, the pair avoided a red carpet debut as a couple once again. Slater walked the red carpet solo, arriving early in the night, while Grande made her appearance later. The Best Supporting Actress nominee stunned in a Christian Dior couture look.

Ariana Grande is teasing the follow-up to her Oscar-nominated performance as Glinda in "Wicked." Grande, who will reprise her role for Part Two titled "Wicked: For Good," told The Hollywood Reporter that the second installment is darker than the first film.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are relatively tight-lipped about their relationship, but with the positivity surrounding their movie Wicked, the couple has let a few compliments about each other make its way to the press—and they always have the sweetest things to say about each other.
