Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater continue to prove that their romance is ongoing.
Over the weekend Slater, 33, supported his longtime girlfriend, 32, as she hosted Saturday Night Live.
The Broadway star was spotted in the singer’s backstage green room as he appeared in an Instagram carousel shared by Grande’s longtime friend Elizabeth Gillies.
Fellow performer Aaron Simon Gross was pictured with Slater and Gillies in a cozy snapshot of them on a couch.
It comes after the 7 Rings hitmaker squashed breakup rumors last week by sharing a video of her boyfriend reflecting on his character’s arc in Wicked: For Good.
They previously quieted the rumor mill in November while attending the New York City premiere of the musical-movie.

While the couple didn’t appear together in photos from Saturday evening, it was clear that their relationship is on.
In a gushing caption, Gillies praised Grande for her stellar performance on the late night show.
She wrote, ‘Nobody does it like you, dingus. What a treat it is to watch you use your many talents and gifts and use them so effortlessly well. Another brilliant episode.’
The actress, who co-starred with Grande on the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious, also acknowledged Bowen Yang’s shock departure.
‘Not to mention- it was the marvelous @fayedunaway’s last episode. AND- CHER! PLUS CHRISTMAS! I fear my heart might’ve grown three sizes last night,’ she effused.
Earlier this year it was thought that Grande and Slater might have broken up, as they had not been seen together for months.
A source told Daily Mail in October that the twosome has been ‘on and off for most of this year.’
When news of their romance broke in 2023, the songstress had just split from her husband Dalton Gomez, 30, while Slater was still married to Lilly Jay — with whom he had a then-one-year-old son.

The Breathin hitmaker was labeled a homewrecker as she struggled to defend what appeared to be her involvement in an affair.
Jay, a psychologist, fueled the rumors as she claimed she had been blindsided by the relationship in a scathing personal essay published by New York Magazine’s subset The Cut.
The scorned wife described the fallout as a ‘darkness’ that she struggled to ‘escape’ while trying to ‘accept the sudden public downfall of my marriage.’
Meanwhile, the new pair — who became enthralled with one another while filming Wicked overseas — made appearances at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards, the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs, the SAG Awards, and the Oscars in support of the project.
