NextImg:Ariana Grande supports boyfriend Ethan Slater’s first post since divorce drama

She sees it, she “likes” it, she wants it, she gets it.

Ariana Grande showed public support for her “Wicked” co-star-turned-boyfriend, Ethan Slater, amid his return to Instagram following their relationship bombshell.

The Grammy winner “liked” the “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical” star’s latest post: a three-slide carousel he shared Wednesday.

The post features a close-up shot of Slater flashing a half smile, an artsy photo a dog staring out the window of a high-rise building and a soundless video of him practicing a routine in a dance studio alongside Broadway actor Lorenzo Pisoni.

“Spamalot (not pictured),” the 31-year-old captioned the slideshow.

Last month, the cast of Broadway’s upcoming “Spamalot” revival was revealed, naming Slater among the musical’s stars.

“Hear ye, hear ye! Ethan Slater joins the Broadway cast of Spamalot as The Historian/Prince Herbert,” the production’s official announcement read, noting that performances begin Oct. 31.

Slater’s post marks his first since his marriage — and his girlfriend’s — imploded.

News of Grande’s split from her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, broke in July. Days later, her romance with Slater was revealed.

At the time, the theater wiz was still married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, with whom he shares a 1-year-old son.

But less than a week after his shocking relationship with Grande made headlines, the actor filed for divorce.

Jay — whom we were told was “completely blindsided” by both the split and the new relationship — blasted the pop star, 30, in a subsequent interview with Page Six, calling her “not a girl’s girl” whose actions made her family “collateral damage.”

However, a source insisted at the time that while Jay was “rightfully upset because her marriage fell apart,” Grande and Slater “didn’t do anything wrong.”

The source went on to claim that Slater was separated from his spouse for two months before pursuing Grande — even though he was publicly gushing over Jay at that time.

Another insider also told us that Grande and Gomez had been separated since January. Neither has formally filed for divorce.

Additionally, it’s been reported that the estranged couples would often go out together on double dates while “Wicked” — which filmed in London — was in production, with Grande even allegedly spending time with Slater and Jay’s baby boy.

The new twosome has yet to address affair speculation or go public with their embattled relationship.
