The weekly <\/span>Saturday Night Live<\/span><\/i> afterparty has always been used by celebrities as a platform to soft-launch new relationships. (Just look at Pete Davidson and Madelyn Cline<\/a>, Kylie Jenner and Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> or Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny<\/a> for proof.) But during the early hours of Sunday morning in Manhattan, it seemed there was something a little more heartfelt in the air. <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, a source in attendance has revealed to\u00a0Page Six<\/a><\/em> that Ariana Grande and her Tony Award nominee boyfriend, Ethan Slater, appeared to still be going strong as they celebrated her recent hosting duties. While toasting the multi-hyphenate singer at Saks On Fifth Avenue\u2019s upscale L\u2019Avenue restaurant, the couple and <\/span>Wicked <\/span><\/i>co-stars were \u201cside by side throughout the evening\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

The insider noted the duo also looked \u201chappy and in love\u201d. They were joined by Grande\u2019s former <\/span>Victorious <\/span><\/i>cast member and long-term friend Elizabeth Gillies, <\/span>SNL <\/span><\/i>comedian and <\/span>Wicked <\/span><\/i>actor Bowen Yang and her episode\u2019s musical performer, Fleetwood Mac alumni Stevie Nicks. <\/span><\/p>\n

Grande and Slater set the internet alight when the couple sparked dating rumours last year<\/a>. The couple, who met while filming the upcoming movie musical, had officially started their romance in July 2023. But it wasn\u2019t until the former Nickelodeon child star was spotted at Wimbledon without her wedding ring that netizens began taking interest. <\/span><\/p>\n

Both Slater and Grande were recently single after ending their respective marriages<\/a>, with a source revealing to <\/span>People<\/span><\/i><\/a> in December that things are \u201cserious\u201d between them. For those who have seen the Broadway stage show, you\u2019ll know that the couple will be reunited on-screen during the upcoming film adaptation.<\/span><\/p>\n
