Ethan Slater has earned the approval of Ariana Grande's family for being "a gentleman," according to an anonymous source who spoke to Us Weekly.
Ethan, famed for his role in the Broadway musical "SpongeBob SquarePants," and Ariana, the global pop sensation, became close while working on the film adaptation of "Wicked." Their relationship has attracted media attention, especially given Ariana's quiet split from her ex-husband Dalton Gomez and Ethan's ongoing divorce from Lilly Jay.
Despite public scrutiny, both Ethan and Ariana are focused on their personal and professional lives, with their relationship reportedly being genuine, intellectual, and drama-free, as insiders describe them as "dorky" theater geeks whose bond is blossoming effortlessly.
