Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater made a rare appearance as a couple at the Stanley Cup playoff game, offering a rare glimpse into their relationship.
On Saturday, June 8, the duo attended the hockey game at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, rooting for the Florida Panthers — a nod to Grande's roots in the Sunshine State.
Captured in snapshots, they both were smiling ear-to-ear, adorned in matching Panthers merch. Grande wore her trademark slicked-back ponytail and a chic black headband.

Having first crossed paths while filming the movie Wicked, they've maintained a discreet romance since rumors surfaced shortly after Grande's separation from husband Dalton Gomez. The timing of Slater's own marital status with Lilly Jay, whom he married in 2018 and welcomed a child with in 2022, added complexity to their unfolding love story.

Their relationship only became public knowledge in July 2023, with sources confirming to People that Grande and Slater had recently become romantic, both having undergone separations from their respective spouses.
That same month, Page Six revealed that Slater's wife was reportedly "completely blindsided" by his relationship with the pop star. "It's horrible. They were high school sweethearts. They have a baby! She's a wreck," a source said.
Despite the tumultuous beginnings, the couple has since maintained private, occasionally spotted enjoying leisurely outings, such as a visit to Disney World and intimate dinners. Prior to their recent date night at the hockey game, Grande showed support for Slater by attending his week-long residency at Cafe Carlyle in NYC.
Grande's recent album release has also sparked speculation among fans, with some interpreting certain tracks, notably "the boy is mine," as reflections of her relationship with Slater.
