The star-studded cast promises a cinematic spectacle that fans eagerly anticipate.

Despite the excitement, uncertainty looms over the album’s release date. A source revealed Grande’s dilemma, stating, “She doesn’t know when she’ll want to release” it “as she wants to be respectful of the timeline for ‘Wicked,’ and originally didn’t want to do any music at all until after the films were released.” The insider added, “She works quickly and drops [in] instinctively whenever she feels ready… so who knows?”

Romance on and off the Screen

Adding a personal touch to her professional journey, Grande’s relationship with rumored boyfriend Ethan Slater, whom she met during the filming of Wicked, has stirred interest.

This comes after Grande shared Christmas celebrations, featuring a creative nod to Slater’s Broadway role with a Spam-shaped ornament.

The Couple’s Next Step: Living Together

In a surprising turn of events, it has been disclosed that Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are now living together, signifying a deepening commitment. Although they maintain separate residences, the couple spends a significant amount of time together, hinting at the seriousness of their relationship.
