Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are ‘still together’ despite the couple keeping their distance at Monday night’s Wicked: For Good premiere in London.
The singer, 32, is currently on a worldwide tour to promote the second instalment of the box office hit alongside co-star Cynthia Erivo.
However, she had sparked rumours she had split from boyfriend Ethan, with the pair keeping their distance and not being pictured together at the premiere.
Now it’s been revealed they are still very much together and did see each other following the red carpet and screening.
An insider said: ‘Ariana and Ethan are still a couple but they’ve seen the chatter online and it’s not been easy.
‘They were both at the Leicester Square premiere and the after-party at Brasserie Zedel but made sure they weren’t seen together.’

Last month Daily Mail told how Ariana and Ethan’s plans for a wedding were put on hold as sources claimed they’ve been ‘on and off’ for several months
The source continued to tell The Sun how they are both reluctant for their relationship to play out in public.
They added: ‘When Ariana left the after-party, she went back to her hotel suite.
‘Not long after, Ethan was taken there and went up to see Ariana to spend time with her.’
Daily Mail have contacted representatives for Ariana and Ethan.
At Monday’s Wicked: For Good premiere, Ariana looked gorgeous in a one strap black gown while Ethan looked smart in a satin grey suit.
Last month Daily Mail told how Ariana and Ethan’s plans for a wedding were put on hold, and while they haven’t been pictured together since April, sources claimed they’ve been ‘on and off’ for several months.
When news of their romance broke in July 2023, Ariana had just split from her husband Dalton Gomez, while Ethan was still married to Lilly Jay with whom he shared a then one-year-old son.
That November, claims surfaced that the duo had taken their relationship to the next level, with Ariana said to be living with the Spongebob Squarepants actor in New York City, during his turn in Broadway musical Spamalot.

Months later a furore broke out over the release of her singles Yes, and? and The Boy Is Mine.
Yes, and? appears to take aim at the hate she received over their romance and in The Boy Is Mine she also sings about a man she shouldn’t date because she ‘don’t wanna cause no scene’ as she is ‘usually so unproblematic’.
Critics have been feeding on signs their romance is not built to last and have long speculated that they have in fact silently split.
Many have suggested they will not make it known until after Wicked: For Good premieres and the hype dies down so as not to overshadow the release and the run up to the 2026 awards season.
Sources previously told the Daily Mail that Ariana’s career and level of fame has been another obstacle – Ethan himself described her fans as ‘ferocious’ and ‘intense’ in a recent interview.
