Over the weekend, photos of Ariana Grande and her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, were taken in New York City.
On Saturday night, Grande’s father, Ed Butera, 65, was spotted getting out of a black SUV with the Problem hitmaker, 30, and the Broadway star, 31.
The couple were cute as they made their way from their car to a local restaurant. They recently celebrated their first Christmas together.
Wearing a black miniskirt and semi-sheer tights, Grande flaunted her legs in a very stylish way for their night out.
The Grammy Award winner wore a cute button-up top that matched her headgear and had black faux fur cuffs.

She had her typical ponytail on her golden-blonde hair and wore classic high heels.
Grande dressed nice for the evening, while her new partner chose to go out in casual attire.
The single parent was dressed warmly in a black North Face jacket, black lace-up Nike sneakers, and Nike joggers.
During their brief stroll, Slater and Grande were utterly enamored with one another, as the actor appeared to put on an arm around the former Nickelodeon star.
Ed wore slim-fitting pants and leather dress shoes with a black puffer jacket.
A blonde woman who seemed to be Ariana’s close friend joined Ariana, Ethan, and Ed.
A few hours prior, Grande was backstage with her father following their viewing of Slater’s Broadway production of Spamalot.
On Sunday, the singer posted a short clip of Ed loitering inside the St. James Theatre to her Instagram Stories.
Ariana, who has almost 380 million followers, captured him having fun with his back to the camera.
Ariana wrote, “Don’t touch the props,” as Ed made sounds of galloping while clapping two circular objects.
“What?” exclaimed Ariana, chuckling.
‘So much fun!’ Ed commented as he shared his daughter’s video on his own Instagram Stories to his approximately 179,000 followers.
Ariana has seen the Broadway version of Spamalot several times since it began in November, where Ethan plays The Historian/The Prince.
Ariana recently made an appearance to honor their romance with a special Christmas get-together.
The singer posted pictures of her recent Christmas celebrations on social media last week. She started dating the Broadway actor shortly after her breakup with Dalton Gomez.
Ariana shared pictures of herself kicking back with puppies and FaceTiming with family, as well as an ornament that looked like a can of SPAM.
The amusing performance seemed to be a reference to Ethan’s part in the Broadway production of Spamalot, which is based on the 1975 movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
When Ariana and Ethan initially started dating in July, it was during her divorce from 28-year-old Dalton and his divorce from 29-year-old wife Lilly.
On October 6, Ariana’s divorce became official.

The new couple was said to have elevated their romance in November. The singer of Dangerous Woman now resides in New York City with her Wicked co-star as he plays Spamalot.
The two got together in December 2022 while working on the UK set of the Wicked movie, which is based on the popular Broadway musical. Ariana plays Glinda, the good witch, while Ethan plays Munchkin Boq.
In July, both couples declared their separation from one another within a few days of one another. Ariana, for example, revealed her breakup with Dalton only three days before confirming her new relationship with Ethan, who then filed for divorce from Lilly.
Concerning their irreconcilable disagreements, he requested shared custody of their infant son.
Since then, Lilly has denigrated Ariana in several nasty interviews, telling Page Six that the singer is “Not a girl’s girl” and scathingly stating, “My family is just collateral damage.”
The Broadway star’s former spouse revealed in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com that she is resolved to move on with her life as a single mother without her ex-husband.
“My main goal is to start over for our son,” she declared. “This is my only focus and what I am trying to accomplish.”
The singer ‘hung out’ with Lilly and her newborn baby several times before her romance with her co-star was made public, and she even told people she ‘wanted a baby one day’ after bonding with Lilly and Ethan, according to a source close to Ariana and Ethan. Lilly’s admission coincided with this revelation.
The new mother, who frequently visited her husband on set in London, allegedly suffered a great deal from Ariana and Ethan’s friendship, according to an insider close to Lilly and Ethan who spoke with DailyMail.com.
“Lilly spent a lot of time hanging out with Ethan and Ariana,” the source stated. Ariana got to meet and even cuddle their baby.
“During their dinners in London, Ariana confided in Lilly that she was eager to start a family and that she hoped to have a baby someday.”
Just eight months after the baby’s birth, in April, Lilly and her kid reportedly went to London to visit Ethan on the Wicked set.
According to the insider, Lilly found out her husband had been having an affair with Ariana during their visit. However, she and Ethan decided to try to “move past it and work on their marriage,” only for Lilly to later find out he had maintained his relationship with the singer.
