Ariana Grande and boyfriend Ethan Slater can’t keep their hands off each other as they cosy up at SAG Awards

ARIANA Grande and Ethan Slater looked well and truly loved-up as they cozied together at the SAG Awards.

The Wicked stars couldn't keep their hands off each other while backstage at the Los Angeles event, which celebrates the best film and TV performances of the year.

Thank U, Next singer Ariana, 31, looked stylish in a peach-colored bandeau frock with embroidered floral detail on the corset and a flowing skirt.

Individual floral detailing was stitched onto the bottom part of the outfit and the star finished off with a white handbag and silver choker necklace.

She added matching hoop earrings and pulled her hair off her face in her signature high ponytail hair style.

Her man Ethan, 32, looked chic in a tux and he made sure to stay close to the Wicked protagonist as they snuggled up at a table.

He could be seen staring into her eyes lovingly before they nuzzled the sides of their heads together.

They then stood up to join the rest of the attendees, with Ariana turning to face Ethan in another affectionate gesture.

The 15 SAG Awards are voted for by fellow actors, and comes ahead of next week's Oscars.

They were held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, with Kieran Culkin kicking off the first winner's accolade of the night, scooping the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in A Real Pain.

Yet sadly Ariana and the Wicked movie which stars them both failed to bag any awards on the night.

Earlier this month, fans claimed she had been "robbed" of a Bafta for her role as Glinda the Good in the fairytale flick - and they will no doubt be saying the same this time around.

LOVE STORY

The pair are thought to have met in December 2022, after Ethan joined the film's cast.

The pair have been public about their relationship and were even candidly snapped together at the film's premieres.

Yet both of the actors were in separate marriages when they met.

Ethan filed for divorce from his wife of five years, Lilly Jay, in 2023.

The Broadway actor reportedly did this before he started dating the pop superstar, and finalized the separation in September 2024.

Lilly, a clinical psychologist, maintained her silence after the divorce until she dropped an emotional essay she penned about the split.

She opened up about the grief she experienced when she saw her husband promoting Wicked across the globe with Ariana, who plays the good witch Glinda.

Lilly, who has a child with Ethan, broke her silence on the controversial relationship saying she was sometimes unable to “escape” the press around the film.

She said: "As for me, days with my son are sunny. Days when I can’t escape the promotion of a movie associated with the saddest days of my life are darker."

She added: “No-one gets married thinking they'll get divorced, in the same way we don't board a plane expecting to crash.”

Ariana and Ethan were reportedly "relieved" that Lilly's emotional letter was not too heated, according to the MailOnline.

A source supposedly said: "They're relieved that Lilly didn’t throw them under the bus.

"Ethan and Ariana are fully aware of what happened, as is everyone who was around at the time."

SCREEN KING

Ethan got his blockbuster break when he was cast to star in the two-part Wicked film, as the character Boq.

He first starred in a 2015 stage show called Diner where he played a character called Modell.

His stage presence also promoted him to the bright lights of Broadway with three roles on some of America’s most famous stages.

Slater appeared in Spamalot, Camelot, and the Broadway rendition of the Spongebob SquarePants musical.
