“Don’t touch the props,” Ariana wrote as Ed clapped two round objects to make galloping sounds.

Ed reposted the clip of his daughter on his own Instagram Stories to his approximately 179,000 followers, writing, “So cute!”

Ethan, 31, is set to star in the Broadway revival of Spamalot, as The Historian/The Prince and Ariana have seen it several times since it opened in November.

Ariana recently seemed to pay tribute to their romance with a unique Christmas party.

The singer, who started dating the Broadway star shortly after her divorce from Dalton Gomez, took to social media last week to share photos of her recent Christmas celebrations.

In addition to photos of her FaceTiming with family and lounging with puppies, Ariana shared a peek inside a can of SPAM jewelry.

The hilarious display was apparently a nod to Ethan’s role in Spamalot, the new Broadway revival based on the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It was first reported in July that Ariana and Ethan were dating, amid her divorce from Dalton, 28, and his wife Lilly, 29.

Ariana’s divorce was finalized on October 6.

The 30-year-old singer, seen in June 2021, shared a video clip to Instagram Stories on Sunday showing Ed, 65, backstage at the St. James Theater

Ethan, 31, is set to star in the Broadway revival of Spamalot as The Historian/The Prince and Ariana, which co-starred with him earlier this year, has seen it multiple times

In November, it was reported that the new lovebirds had taken their relationship to the next level, with the Dangerous Woman singer currently living with her Wicked co-star in New York City while he performs in Spamalot.

The pair met in December 2022 on the British set of the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Wicked, in which Ariana plays Glinda – the good witch – alongside Ethan as munchkin Boq.

Both couples announced their split within days of each other in July, with Ariana announcing her split from Dalton just three days before confirming her new relationship with Ethan, who then filed for divorce from Lilly.

Citing irreconcilable differences, he asked for joint custody of their newborn son.

Lilly has since blasted Ariana in a series of disparaging interviews, telling Page Six that the singer is “Not a girl’s girl” and stunningly adding that “My family is just collateral damage” to her.

The Broadway star’s estranged wife told DailyMail.com exclusively that she is determined to move on with her life as a single mother, without her ex-husband.

“I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,” she said. “This is what I’m trying to do and this is my sole focus.”

Lilly’s confession came as a source close to Ariana and Ethan claimed that the singer “hung out” with Lilly and her newborn several times before her romance with her co-star was revealed — and even told those around her how much she “loved a baby one day after bonding with Lilly and Ethan.

An insider close to Lilly and Ethan claimed to DailyMail.com that Ariana and Ethan’s relationship has taken a brutal toll on the new mom – who spent time with the singer several times while visiting her husband on set in London.

“Lilly was hanging out with Ethan and Ariana so much,” the insider claimed. ‘Ariana met their baby and even held him.

“They had dinners together in London — and Ariana told Lilly that she wanted to have a baby someday and that she couldn’t wait to start a family.”

According to the source, Lilly and her son traveled to London to visit Ethan on the set of Wicked in April – just eight months after the baby was born.

The insider claimed that Lilly discovered that her husband had had an affair with Ariana after that visit, but that she and Ethan made the decision to try to “put it behind them and work on their marriage,” only to find out later come out that he had continued his romance with the singer.
