Ethan Slater Overcome with Emotion at Ariana Grande's Oscars Performance; Body Language Reveals Couple's Bond

Ariana Grande's performance at the 97th Academy Awards moved her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, to tears. The performance, a medley from *The Wizard of Oz*, *The Wiz*, and *Wicked*, showcased Grande and Cynthia Erivo's vocal talents. Slater, visibly emotional, was caught on camera, sparking fan reactions on social media. Slater and Grande, who met on the set of *Wicked*, arrived separately at the Oscars. Body language expert Judi James noted Slater's 'fawn-eyed cuteness' mirrored Grande's, suggesting a strong connection despite their solo appearances. James also observed that Slater seemed wary when *Wicked* and Ariana were mentioned in an interview. The couple's relationship began amidst controversy, as both were married when filming started. They later ended their respective relationships, leading to public scrutiny. Slater addressed the backlash in a GQ interview, emphasizing the difficulty of public speculation on private matters. While maintaining a degree of privacy, the couple has been seen together at events, though solo appearances continue to fuel speculation about their relationship.
