‘I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public,’ he pointed out.

The actor and singer, who got his start in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical in 2018, admitted there were a lot of ‘big changes’ going on in both his and Grande’s private lives and the speculation was ‘really hard.’

‘It’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love,’ he admitted to GQ.

Despite being thrust completely into the public eye and forced to endure endless speculation and judgement over his love life, Ethan declared it an ‘amazing year.’

‘I’m just really excited,’ he gushed, adding that it was a ‘beautiful thing’ falling in love on set.

‘I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done on this,’ the Broadway alum added, revealing the sweet nickname he has for his beau.

He continued saying she’s ‘poured herself into it,’ and he’s ‘really proud’ he was there for that part of it.

‘I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did,’ he added.

He went on the call his girlfriend one of the ‘best comedians’ to be in a movie in a long time.

‘She’s a genius,’ he enthused.

The couple met in December 2022 on the UK set of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, in which Grande plays Glinda — the good witch — alongside Ethan as munchkin Boq.

Slater filed for divorce on July 26, 2023, five years after he tied the knot with Jay, his high school sweetheart.

He cited irreconcilable differences and asked for joint custody of their then two-year-old son.

At the time, Grande was still married to Dalton Gomez; she filed for divorce in September 2023 and listed the date of separation as February 20, 2023.

Following backlash over the timeline of their relationship, the couple kept a relatively low profile.

In February, Grande admitted she feels ‘an insatiable frustration’ about the narrative around her relationship with Slater.

Addressing the conversation around her personal life, the Yes, And? singer told The Zach Sang Show: ‘I feel like we don’t need to go into any specifics.

‘But of course, there’s an insatiable frustration, inexplicable, hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you and anything.’
