Ariana Grande and boyfriend Ethan Slater are dipping their toes in the water to become a more public-facing couple, as evidenced by their outing this weekend; according to E! News, the two attended the Stanley Cup finals in Florida, "a rare public appearance"

Her single, "a very rare public appearance.

With the release of her latest music video for her single "The Boy Is Mine" (which many believe is about Slater herself), Grande and Slater attended the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Florida on Saturday " This marked one of the most public joint outings for the couple, who began their romance in 2023 after meeting earlier that year on the set of the Wicked two-parter in which they will play, respectively, Glinda and Munchkin Boq," E! News reported.

News of Grande and Slater's relationship broke last July, just days after the public learned that Grande was divorcing her husband, Dalton Gomez, after less than two years of marriage. Slater filed for divorce from his wife Lily Jaye (with whom he has a young son) later that month, but both Grande and Slater have forcefully argued that their relationship with each other began after they separated from their respective spouses.

They have been spotted on several dates in New York City, but have kept a mostly low profile given the way the public learned of their relationship (and the ample controversy that followed). Grande said on a February episode of The Zack Sang Show, "We selectively remember what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether we like them or not." 'We selectively leave space for humanity and nuance. But we do that for friends and family. Selectively. But when it matches the image of who we want to believe is true in our own heads, we erase it." There is an insatiable frustration, an unspeakable sense of hell," she continued, "in seeing people misunderstand their loved ones, themselves, and something else.

As Grande and Slater begin to be more public about their outings, her brother, Frankie Grande, recently said he is a fan of her boyfriend: "I love him. He's very sweet."

Frankie said she has been a "huge fan" of Slater since seeing him in the SpongeBob Musical, which ran from 2017 to 2018. 'All I want is for my sister to be happy,' he said. 'If she's happy, I'm happy. So I'm very happy."

At Saturday's hockey game, Grande and Slater both wore Florida Panthers jerseys and watched their team beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-0, describing their relationship, "They're kind of dorky and [both] are theater nerds at heart." A source told Us Weekly last November. Their relationship is blossoming. There is zero drama, and it's a piece of cake."

Meanwhile, the couple has been in a relationship for years.

Meanwhile, as Grande became increasingly public with Slater, her ex-husband Gomez went public with his own new love: the real estate broker made it official on social media over the weekend with actress Maika Monroe through a photo carousel that Monroe shared on Instagram

The couple had been in a relationship for several years.
