Fans are buzzing about the striking likeness between Ariana Grande’s current boyfriend and the singer’s brother. A popular American TikToker, Alexandra Hopfenberg, drew widespread attention by sharing a video that highlights the similarity, sparking discussion across social media and entertainment news circles.
The comparison centers on the star’s new partner, actor Ethan Slater, and Grande’s brother, Frank Grande. Public snapshots of Slater and Frank side by side have been cited as evidence of the uncanny resemblance, adding another layer to the ongoing chatter about Grande’s personal life.
Mid-July brought fresh speculation about Grande’s relationship status, with rumors suggesting marital strain involving her husband, real estate professional Dalton Gomez. Subsequent reporting indicated that the singer was considering divorce, intensifying the focus on her private affairs and the dynamics of her high-profile partnerships.
In a related development, reports confirmed that Grande had recently connected with a familiar face from her professional orbit, reuniting with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater for professional or personal reasons that kept fans guessing about their status and future projects. Slater has become widely recognized for his portrayal of SpongeBob SquarePants in the Broadway musical of the same name, a performance that earned him a Tony Award nomination in 2018 and helped cement his position in contemporary musical theater.
Overlap between entertainment news and other public figures continued as previous tabloid chatter resurfaced regarding a separate famous pairing. A widely circulated item mentioned Megan Fox in a dating scenario with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a narrative that fans followed with the same fervor that surrounds Grande’s own romantic headlines. However, such reports often circulate with varying degrees of confirmation, underscoring the entertainment press’s tendency to amplify ongoing celebrity narratives.
