The pair’s appearance comes a month after Slater’s ex-wife Lilly – with whom he shares a two-year-old son – broke her silence on his romance with his Wicked co-star.

In the essay published for The Cut, Jay also emotionally opened up about their divorce and the ‘public downfall of her marriage.’

She penned about moving both herself and her then two-month-old baby boy to London while Slater filmed Wicked – before he left her for Grande after they met on set of the movie.

Lilly further reflected on how she never expected to get a divorce after tying the knot with her high school sweetheart – but emphasized both she and her ex focus to positively co-parent their son.

Both she and Slater had been married for five years and welcomed their baby boy to the world in August 2022. However, the divorce was finalized three months earlier in September.

Grande was also previously married to Dalton Gomez for two years until their divorce was finalized in March of this year.

Ariana Grande & Nicole Kidman share a hug at 2025 Golden Globes

‘I confidently moved to another country with my 2-month-old baby and my husband to support his career. Consumed by the magic and mundanity of new motherhood, I didn’t understand the growing distance between us,’ Jay wrote.

She expressed there are ‘days when I can’t escape the promotion of a movie associated with the saddest days of my life are darker’ as she while trying to ‘accept the sudden public downfall of my marriage.’

‘No-one gets married thinking they’ll get divorced, in the same way we don’t board a plane expecting to crash.’

Lilly then seemingly referenced to Ethan and Ariana with, ‘I really never thought I would get divorced.’

‘Especially not just after giving birth to my first child and especially not in the shadow of my husband’s new relationship with a celebrity.’

‘In this season of shock and mourning, over a year after the end of my marriage was made public, I deeply miss the life of invisibility I created for myself as a psychologist specializing in women’s mental health.’

Also present at the gala on Tuesday was Ariana’s Wicked co-star Cynthia, 37. She also wore a Loewe gown with a unique design.

Meanwhile Nicole Kidman, 57, wowed in a floor-length black gown. Nicole received the Best Actress award for her steamy role in Babygirl.
