It turns out Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are hockey fans. The couple watched Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday (June 8) in the pop star's home state of Florida, sitting next to each other among friends at Amerant Bank Arena.
In photos from the game, both Grande and her Bad The costar – who started dating last year while filming the musical duo in the UK – wore the Florida Panthers, the “Thank U, Next” singer completing her top with a pair of black kitty ears. The pair relax while talking and laughing, sitting behind Grande's childhood friend Courtney Chipolone (yes, as in the “Bye” lyric, “Courtney just pulled up in the driveway”).
To the right of the two-time Grammy winner sits Christian Breslauer, who directed Grande's “The Boy Is Mine” music video. The visual dropped on Friday (June 7), co-starring Penn Badgley alongside Ari and featuring apt cameos from Brandy and Monica.
Breslauer also oversaw Grande's Paula Abdul-inspired video for “Yes, And?” like her Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tribute to “We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” Both singles reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this year to support the singer's top-selling album on the Billboard 200 Eternal sunshine.
The hockey game – which ended with the Panthers beating the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 – marks a rare public outing for Grande and Slater, who have kept a low profile following the singer's divorce from Dalton Gomez and the actor's split from the estranged. his wife Lilly Jay, with whom he has a young son; In April, the “7 Rings” musician attended her boyfriend's finale Spamalot Broadway show.
A few days later, the couple and Bad The actors flew to Las Vegas for the 2024 CinemaCon, where Grande and Slater held hands as they walked the venue.
