Pop sensation Ariana Grande was spotted landing in Australia with her boyfriend, actor Ethan Slater, sending fans and the media into a frenzy of excitement and curiosity. Pictured together at Sydney’s airport, the couple was seen looking relaxed and casually dressed as they made their way through arrivals. The public appearance comes months after rumors of their relationship swirled and amidst whispers that Grande may be in Australia for a new project.

For months now, Grande has been keeping a pretty low profile since her chart-topping hits and acting roles. Still, her visit to Australia has sparked rumors from the fans that perhaps she is getting ready for something. Something that perhaps is associated with her work in the entertainment industry. Yet, so far, no word has come regarding that, and people are speculating whether it is connected with some shooting or recording work.

Sitting next to him, beaming with a grin is the young man who was Patrick in the Broadway musical version of SpongeBob SquarePants; the new movie Wicked had Grande as Glinda opposite, who played Boq the Munchkin and crush on Nessarose and where she met him when she was filming it, allegedly the two are currently an item.

The latest sighting has already created waves on social media, with fans of both Grande and Slater sharing excitement and well-wishes. “Seeing Ariana in Australia with Ethan is a surprise! Hope she’s here for a new project!” one fan tweeted, while others expressed hopes of spotting the star in public during her stay.

Grande began dating Slater, with whom she has separated from Dalton Gomez in mid-2023. Their relationship is one that many speculate about, and though efforts are made to keep it under wraps, public interest runs high.

While Grande’s team doesn’t confirm the purpose behind her visit, fans all over are holding their collective breath for any update which might mean new content, or appearances from the singer. For now, with Grande and Slater arriving into Australia, the anticipation to know what is in store creates a buzz.
