Ariana Grande shared rare PDA with her boyfriend Ethan Slater at the New York City premiere of Wicked on Thursday night.
The singer, 31, and the Broadway player, 32, both star in the highly-anticipated film adaptation of the Broadway musical and began dating after meeting on the film’s London set.

Grande has gushed over her ‘amazing’ and ‘adorable’ boyfriend while promoting Wicked, which hits theaters on Friday, November 22.
And her love for Slater was on full display Thursday as they shared a warm hug in front of a sea of red carpet cameras at NYC’s historic Museum of Modern Art.
Grande, wearing a glamorous pink strapless gown, approached the Spamalot star while he was posing for photos with their co-star Bowen Yang.

Her golden blonde hair — which she dyed in order to play the bubbly blonde, Glinda the Good — was styled in a sleek bun.
Grande rocked her her go-to black winged eyeliner and fake lashes, which her makeup artist paired with a glossy nude lip.
Her boyfriend Ethan arrived to the red carpet event just moments after her in a chic navy blue suit.

‘I remember the first day we got to come together. It was at [director] Jon M. Chu’s house, and Stephen Schwartz [who wrote Wicked’s music and lyrics for both the OG Broadway musical and the film] was over.
‘He played some songs for us, and we sang together for the first time. It worked. It’s a very intimate thing to sing with someone. There’s a really beautiful dance—I need to follow you, you have to follow me.
‘It was one of the most gratifying things to know that there was someone who was that open and available, because she was, and that meant I could be as well.
‘We also had a beautiful relationship offscreen. We had really beautiful conversations, some that were not easy, but that’s what makes relationships.
‘Those hard conversations that you can have with someone that mean that you have to be vulnerable are the things that make you close.’
Grande, Erivo and Slater weren’t the only Wicked stars and celebrities to grace Thursday night’s lavish red carpet soiree.
