Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are becoming more and more public about their relationship but there’s still one milestone that the pair are holding out for!
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.
While the pair have attended plenty of events together since the premiere Wicked, the film that kickstarted their romance, they have not yet posed together as a couple on the red carpet.
However, Slater did gush about his girlfriend on the red carpet, opening up to E! News about what it’s been like to watch Grande land numerous nominations, including her first Oscar nomination.
“She’s been doing so much promoting the movie, so I think you’ve definitely seen the moments between the crying,” he told E! News at the Critics Choice Awards, “but it’s a really emotional thing and it’s beautiful.”
Grande, who has been dating Slater since 2023 after meeting on the set of Wicked in 2022, has been filled with emotions throughout the press tour and we’re sure the Critics Choice Awards will be no different as the film celebrates 11 total nominations.
“Picking my head up in between sobs to say thank you so much to @theacademy for this unfathomable recognition,” she wrote on Instagram Jan. 23 after Oscar nominations were announced. “I cannot stop crying, to no one’s surprise. i’m humbled and deeply honored to be in such brilliant company and sharing this with tiny ari who sat and studied Judy Garland singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow just before the big, beautiful bubble entered.”
Slater also celebrated Grande’s nomination with a simple photo of her holding balloons and looking out a window, leaving the post without a caption so the joy could speak for itself.
