The intimate atmosphere of the Café Carlyle provided a serene ambience, where Grande could bask in the warmth of theatre enthusiasts without the intrusion of overzealous attention.

As the source affirmed, “Ariana is serious with Ethan,” and their commitment to supporting each other’s artistic endeavours is unwavering. Just as Grande was a fixture during Slater’s run in the Broadway musical “Spamalot,” Slater reciprocates by accompanying her to the theatre whenever her schedule permits, fostering a harmonious balance between their personal and professional lives.
