LOS ANGELES, Sept 27, (Agencies): Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater had a delightful time at a Disney park recently. The couple was seen strolling arm in arm through the park on a Friday night, with photographers capturing them from behind as they waited for a ride. A video from their visit showed the 30-year-old pop star and the 31-year-old Tony nominee enjoying the company of friends and receiving a guided tour from a theme park guide.
"They were part of a large group of friends, including Ariana's mom and brother," the source shared, emphasizing that they are genuinely happy together and have a positive influence on each other. Slater received a lot of love from Grande's circle of friends.
In early September, it was clear that Grande and Slater's relationship was thriving and significantly different from what had been portrayed in the public eye.
"While the public may have blown this whole situation out of proportion, the reality is quite different," a friend of the couple revealed. "They are simply trying to navigate their new relationship privately," the source continued.
Their relationship timeline had also raised questions among observers, given that Grande and Slater were friends and co-stars before they officially started dating.
"People have questioned the timing," a close family friend commented regarding the relationship between Grande and Slater, who both separated from their respective spouses, Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay. The close family friend clarified, "The truth is, Ariana and Ethan didn't begin seeing each other until after both parties had respectfully separated."
Another source close to the situation added that the couple is making a conscious effort to balance their public visibility with the desire to show respect to all parties involved.
Grande and Slater's connection initially sparked on the set of the upcoming Wicked film adaptation and was publicly confirmed in July.
