Ariana Grande gushed over her boyfriend Ethan Slater to celebrate his latest project.
On Sunday, the 32-year-old pop star took to her Instagram Story to praise the actor, 33, and wrote about how she was 'so very proud' of him.
'Congratulations on a beautiful run of this very beautiful show,' she wrote alongside a butterfly emoji and two heart outlines. 'So very proud.'
The We Can't Be Friends singer also reposted a photo of the production that Slater had shared on Instagram.
This comes shortly after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed how the two Wicked stars' rocky romance almost came to an end earlier this year.
Slater, 33, has been performing off-Broadway in New York City in a play he co-wrote titled Marcel on the Train.

The theater production ran for nearly two months, kicking off on February 5 and concluding its run this week.
In Marcel the Train, Slater played a 20th century French mime, Marcel Marceau, amid the Nazi occupation of France in World War II.
The couple started dating after meeting on the set of the two-part Wicked musical adaptation films.
Their relationship became public in July 2023, shortly after they filed for divorce from their respective spouses.
They kicked off filming in late 2022 and later began dating while on the set of the musical adaptation movies.
In Wicked and Wicked: For Good, Grande starred as Glinda the Good Witch while Slater played Boq.
Their infrequent public sightings last year, however, sparked speculation that the pair were headed towards a split.
An insider close to Grande's family revealed they are now in a much better place after hitting a 'rough patch' late last year.
After the pair were caught up in breakup rumors earlier this year, she posted heart emojis as she praised her boyfriend. She also reposted a photo of the production that Slater had shared; pictured in January 2025

While Grande and Slater never actually called things off, the source claims there was a moment when it was was unclear if their relationship would survive the storm.
'Ariana and Ethan hit a rough patch towards the end of last year,' the source exclusively told the Daily Mail earlier this month.
'They never broke up, but it was questionable at a point if they were going to continue moving forward.
'They've really spent time working on their relationship and are in a much better place. It's been hard for them with the way their relationship began and they've had a lot to work through, but they seem to really, truly love each other.
'That's a huge reason why Ethan was at a lot of Ariana's Saturday Night Live duties. They also spent the holidays together with her family. Things are strong between them again now.'
The source also shared insight into one of the attributes that initially drew Grande to Slater, revealing that the pop star tends to go for men who she knows she's better looking than.
The source added that 'Ariana likes to date guys she knows she's better looking than' and above. 'It's due to her own insecurities,' they added.
