Ariana Grande takes dad to boyfriend Ethan Slater in ‘Spamalot’

Ariana Grande is sharing the Holy Grail Spama lot with her father, Ed Butera.

Grande, 30, shared images of Butera, 65, backstage at the St. James Theater in New York City on Sunday, December 24, via her Instagram Story. In the video, Butera played around the set.

“Don’t touch the props,” the pop star wrote on Sunday as Butera clapped two semicircles together to make galloping sounds.

“Wait what?” You hear Grande say laughing.

Butera reposted his daughter’s post on his own Instagram Story, writing: “So cute!!”

Grande has seen the Broadway revival Spama lot several times since opening in November as her friend, Ethan Slater, is one of the stars of the show. Slater, 31, plays The Historian/The Prince. (Grande is also a total Broadway baby, making her Great White Way debut when she was a teenager Jason Robert Brown‘S 13 The musical.)

Grande saw it for the first time Spama lot in previews, bring 13 The musical And Victorious Co-star Elizabeth Gillies. Weeks later, Grande stepped out during the official opening night.

In July, news broke that Grande had rekindled a romance with Slater after they connected on the set of the two Bad films in London. (Grande will star as Galinda/Glinda, while Slater will play munchkin Boq in the film adaptation, which has since halted production due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.)

Grande and Slater bonded after their respective breakups. We weekly confirmed in July that Grande had divorced Dalton Gomez, whom she married in 2021. They finalized their divorce in October. Slater, in turn, filed for divorce from his estranged wife Lilly Jay in July. (Slater and Jay, 30, share a 12-month-old son.)

Although Jay has claimed that she was blinded by Slater’s plans to end their marriage and then start dating Grande, multiple sources said Us that the romance began after the two marriages had already ended.

Grande and Slater currently live together in New York City, and her family already approves of the match.

“Ethan and Ariana’s relationship is going very well, and they are both very involved in each other’s lives. Ethan met her family. And she met his family,” a source said exclusively Us last month.

The insider further noted that Grande “sees herself” with Slater for “the long term,” telling Us that they have a lot in common. ‘They’re a bit dorky and [both] theater lovers through and through. She loves that about him. It’s mutual,” the source added. “Their relationship is blossoming. It’s effortless and drama-free.”
