Ethan Slater Is So Happy for His Oscar-Nominated Girlfriend – The Cut

Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission2025’s Oscar nominations were announced Thursday morning, prompting a wide mix of emotions and also another round of Emilia Pérez discourse. But you know who is basking peacefully in Oscar-nominated bliss? Ariana Grande and her Wicked boyfriend, Ethan Slater. Grande, who got her first-ever nomination for Supporting Actress on Thursday, posted an emotional reaction on Instagram — and Slater seems to be feeling the same way, because he shared a pic of Grande staring out a hotel-room window buried in pink balloons. Cute!Despite the very public nature of their union — or maybe because of it — Grande and Slater seem to be keeping mostly to themselves. They don’t post each other much and have kept the PDA light throughout Wicked’s press tour. But this week is different, because these are two earnest theater kids in love, and one of them is up for a huge award for being great at theater … in movies. Actually, Slater seems generally over the moon about his movie’s success — he posted all of Wicked’s (many) nominations to his Instagram Stories, adding Grande’s carousel to the mix for good measure — and, superfan that he is, he chose the slide of her singing “The Wizard and I” when she was 14. Do you think he’s happy for her?A post shared by Ethan Slater (@ethanslater)Congratulations to this half-Oscar-nominated couple!By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us.Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission
