Ethan Slater, Ariana's boyfriend, achieves acclaimed success as SpongeBob in a popular Broadway musical performance

Ariana Grande's co-star Ethan Slater wins Drama Desk Award, rumored dating.

Ethan Slater, a talented performer who has worked closely with the renowned singer Ariana Grande on various successful films, recently captivated audiences with his exceptional performance at The Broadway Musical. His rendition of "Best Day Ever" was not only a joyous spectacle but also earned him a prestigious Drama Desk Award.

Last year, Slater was cast alongside Grande for the film adaptation of Wicked in the UK. This announcement came shortly after Grande's own casting for another role. However, it is only recently that sources have confirmed to PEOPLE that Ariana and Ethan are now dating, following her split from former partner Dalton Gomez.

Earlier this year, Ariana and Dalton ended their relationship, despite their sincere efforts to make it work, including attempting a long-distance arrangement. Unfortunately, it did not prove successful. While Slater himself has also experienced a separation from his wife, Lily Jay, the two have known each other since childhood and have a son together.

After a considerable period of time, Ethan has finally moved on and reentered the dating scene. In Wicked, Slater portrays the character Boq, who initially has a crush on Glinda, played by Ariana. However, Boq eventually develops a romantic interest in Elphab's younger sister, Nessarose.

In addition to his role in Wicked, Slater gained recognition for his portrayal of the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, earning a Tony Award nomination for his outstanding performance. His distinctive attire, consisting of a yellow button-up shirt, plaid suspenders, and a red tie, became iconic.

In a recent development, Ethan has made his Instagram account private, sparking curiosity among fans. As of now, neither the Broadway star nor his representatives have made any comments, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting further updates.
