Earlier on the carpet, Grande was seen helping Slater fix his bow tie, which he paired with a green velvet suit jacket and some black trousers for the special event. The cute moment was quickly snapped by photographers.

Slater has also been seen catering to his girlfriend. At the Sydney, Australia, premiere, Slater was snapped assisting Grande with the train on her gown as she walked.

When asked how she felt about the gesture, Grande assured the outlet that she’s “always” in good hands, saying, “It’s always that.”

Grande and Slater began dating after meeting on the set of the movie adaptation of “Wicked.” They faced heavy scrutiny, however, as they had just ended their respective marriages.

The Nickelodeon alum broke up with Dalton Gomez after two years of marriage in January 2023. Gomez and Grande settled their divorce in October 2023.

Slater filed for divorce from his now-ex-wife, Lilly Jay, in July 2023 after nearly four years of marriage.

Rumors suggested there may have been some overlap in their relationship timelines after Slater’s ex-wife said Grande’s “not a girl’s girl,” which prompted online uproar against the “7 Rings” singer, with some dubbing her a “homewrecker.”

Earlier this month, the Broadway star opened up about his relationship with Grande, telling GQ that bringing his new relationship into the public eye was “difficult.”

“I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public,” Slater said at the time.

“There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard.”
