Ariana Grande’s boyfriend, Ethan Slater, is getting ready for his Broadway return.
The 31-year-old actor was seen in first look photos released on Friday as he prepares for the Monty Python musical Spamalot – while living with the pop star, 30, at her New York City home.
This comes just days after Grande’s multi-million dollar divorce settlement with her ex, Dalton Gomez, was revealed.
The Broadway revival – in which he plays Prince Herbert and The Historian – will also be his first role since he and the Everyday hitmaker met on set of Wicked, divorced their respective partners and started their romantic relationship.
Slater — who is known for his role as SpongeBob SquarePants in the eponymous musical — will begin performances at the St. James Theatre later this month.

In the first photos, Slater could be seen dressed head-to-toe in costume and rocking a new look.

His costume comprises of small circular specs, a plaid suit, and a colorful sweater vest.
Mixing more patterns, he also sports a polkadot button-down and a patterned bowtie for his role.
According to the official synopsis, Spamalot is ‘lovingly ripped off’ of the classic movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The production features a book and lyrics by Eric Idle.
‘Everything that makes a great knight in the theatre is here,’ the synopsis reads. ‘From flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake.’
