During their discussion on the podcast, Hayes and Grande recalled the time when they shared a hair and makeup trailer when they performed Hairspray Live! In 2016. The Cat In the Hat star then mentioned Slater, stating that the actor was “a very good friend of mine.”

The songstress responded to this by saying, “Yes, he loves you so much.”Hayes shared that he loved Slater as well and that he was “one of the nicest” individuals one will ever come across in their life. The Bucket List star reflected on the time when he and Slater did Good Night, Oscar in Chicago.

Grande and Slater’s relationship was initially confirmed in July 2023 by People magazine after both had separated from their previous partners at the time. As per the publication, the singer first crossed paths with Slater when they started filming the Wicked adaptation in 2022 in London.
