In addition to theater, Slater appeared in \u201cFosse\/Verdon\u201d and \u201cThe SpongeBob Musical [live].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slater admires Grande beyond their connection. In a GQ interview, he called her \u201ca genius\u201d for her talent and work ethic.<\/p>\n<p>After working on \u201cWicked,\u201d Slater commended Grande\u2019s dedication and transformation into Glinda. He said, \u201cI\u2019m really, really proud of Ari and the work she\u2019s done on this.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Slater\u2019s professional success, his personal life has garnered notice. Clinical psychologist Jay, his ex-wife, specializes in women\u2019s mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to Slater and Jay have maintained that they divorced before his relationship with Grande began, even though their split corresponded with it.<\/p>\n<p>Jay implicitly addressed the subject in an essay published almost a year after their divorce. She discussed the difficulties of postpartum life and a sudden divorce without mentioning Slater.<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cNo one gets married thinking they\u2019ll get divorced, especially not just after giving birth.\u201d She stressed their co-parenting of their son despite their parting grief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth of us fiercely love our son 100 percent of the time,\u201d she added, adding that she enjoys motherhood despite life upheavals. Slater has rarely addressed his personal issues. Colleagues have praised his character.<\/p>\n<p>Lilli Cooper, who worked with him in \u201cSpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical,\u201d was surprised by his new relationship but said he was always nice and professional.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BeqPXftAIkh\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnew24.info&amp;rp=%2F83537%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawIPfnZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHeUBAcv2azJy82PtitiDZhIxTLvOacbmpJoItKVeBWZ4_VcMVCoUz6yqGg_aem_ILqcKKYyARHJ0vxGiKfRJg#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1132.5%2C%22ls%22%3A667.3000001907349%2C%22le%22%3A1018.2000000476837%7D\" height=\"942\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Grande Defense and Public Statements<br \/>\nGrande has addressed the media scrutiny of their relationship head-on. In a September 2024 Vanity Fair interview, she denied tabloid accusations that Slater left his family for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most disappointing part was seeing so many people believe the worst version,\u201d she said. Grande defends Slater\u2019s reputation without addressing claims. He was \u201csomeone with the best heart\u201d and dedicated to his loved ones, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere couldn\u2019t be a less accurate depiction of a human being than the tabloids\u2019 about him,\u201d she said. She considered the challenges of frequent public scrutiny. Grande said tabloid culture impacted her fame from adolescence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not perfect, but I am definitely deeply good, and I\u2019m proud of who I\u2019m becoming,\u201d she said. She said personal growth helped her overcome negativity and focus on happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Grande stated that she will not be defined by media. \u201cI will never let disreputable evil tabloids ruin my life or my perception of what is real and good,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Her words haven\u2019t quenched public arguments, but they reveal her view on the subject. Despite criticism, Grande seems focused on her happiness and Slater\u2019s support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly two years after their romance began, Ariana Grande and her \u201cWicked\u201d co-star remain popular.
