Did something happen behind the scenes with Ariana Grande and rumored boyfriend Ethan Slater while filming the movie "Wicked"?
Recently, speculation has been growing surrounding the "thank u, next" singer and her relationship with the actor following news that she parted ways with Dalton Gomez earlier this year.
Budding romance was in full bloom on the set of the hit musical turned movie, as Ariana and Ethan were spotted having a chuckle after filming a particular scene between their characters, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
In this movie musical, Ariana is cast as a witch Glinda while Slater portrays munchkin Boq.
Back in May, Ariana and Dalton were filmed close together and holding hands. Little did they know at that point, their separation would be announced just a few months later.
Although it is uncertain when Ariana and Ethan began dating, TMZ has reported it was "several months ago".
On May 14th, Ethan uploaded a post conveying his admiration for his wife.
In 2018, Tony-nominated actor and wife Lilly Jay exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony. Then on Mother's Day, four years later, they were blessed with a son.
To celebrate his lovely wife becoming a mother for the first time, he posted an ode to her on Instagram.
"Happy first Mother's Day to my amazing and beautiful wife," wrote the Broadway star. "You mean so much to me and our little one."
In mid-July, news crossed the wires stating that Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez had decided to go their separate ways.

Reports claimed that this was the case since January of the same year and they were slowly inching towards a final divorce.
Sources close to them said that two months ago, they made an attempt at reconciling things, but it wasn't enough to save their union.
Rumors had been circulating last month that Ariana and Dalton had experienced difficulties in their relationship.
According to one source, the length of Ariana's movie production abroad has put a strain on their union.
"Ariana has been away from home for almost 12 months now, and she isn't scheduled to come back any time soon," divulged the insider.
"This extended period apart is taking its toll - the movie production eclipses everything else at this point."
It is said that to protect her vocal cords, the actress rarely speaks when not filming; as such, there is little interaction between the two.
