During the Disney day, the couple tried their best to keep a low profile. Yet, many fans spotted the couple and snapped photos. Many also reported the outing to DeuxMoi. In photos published from the site, Grande and Slater appeared to be pictured from behind wearing black hoodies and baseball hats.

The romance between the Wicked co-stars unfolded amid their respective divorces. Grande filed for divorce from Dalton Gomez on September 18, while Slater officially split from wife Lilly Jay on July 26th.

A source told ET earlier this month that things have been going well between the lovebirds, despite their romantic drama playing out in the public eye.

The source said that the pair are “on the same page” and “still very excited about their relationship.”

“Ariana thinks Ethan is ridiculously talented, likes that they can relate to each other and that he challenges her; artistically speaking,” the source shared. “Ethan wants the best for Ariana and for themselves as a couple. They support and elevate one another.”

The article attributes it to the organizers, which covers you.) — **Creator Frankie LaPenna fights ‘Terminator’ robot in first human vs. robot bout** SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A man stepped into a fighting cage with a 6-foot humanoid robot, and the robot came out on top. Robotics startup REK staged the human-versus-humanoid kickboxing demonstration in San Francisco on Friday, Sept. 18, putting creator Frankie LaPenna inside a cage with the machine. The opponent was the 80-kilogram (176-pound) EngineAI T800, a humanoid built to look like the Terminator. LaPenna, wearing a helmet and chest protector, landed a few punches before the robot kicked him in the head, according to the official video description. Footage shows the robot kicking him across the cage as spectators outside the ring looked on. “We just made history with the first Human VS Terminator robot fight,” REK posted on X on Sept. 20, adding that more fight footage is coming. The “first” label comes from REK and LaPenna and has not been independently verified. The robot was not fighting on its own. REK’s robots are not autonomous fighters, and the event showcased remote control and mechanical stability rather than independent combat strategy. The bout was part of REK’s work on a virtual reality combat game in which people remotely control humanoid robots to compete against each other. REK founder Cix Liv came to robotics from virtual reality and is building a sport that links virtual competition to physical machines. The LaPenna match pushed his format beyond the company’s usual robot-versus-robot fights. Online, viewers debated whether a trained fighter would fare better, with some predicting human-versus-robot bouts could reach the UFC within five years. — Note: AP datelines use a dash after the city.
