Ariana Grande and her boyfriend Ethan Slater were spotted together at CinemaCon in Las Vegas along with their castmates. The couple, who fell in love on the set of the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, have been inseparable since December 2022. Slater filed for divorce from his previous partner a week after their affair was exposed. Grande, who was previously married to Dalton Gomez, looked stunning in an Oscar de la Renta dress at the event. She expressed her emotions on stage, along with castmate Cynthia Erivo, both of whom wore specially designed costumes for their roles in the movie.

They both felt a deep bond and responsibility to honor their characters. The movie is set to release in two parts, with the first part premiering in November 2024. The cast, including Grande and Erivo, received positive feedback from attendees, who were impressed by their performances and costumes. The director, Jon M. Chu, shared behind-the-scenes moments with the cast, showcasing their excitement and unity.
