They had their own private table and were able to keep their backs to other diners. Ethan and Ariana were also sat in the corner of the room, allowing them to enjoy a private date.

"Ariana's divorce had only recently become public and Ethan was still married to his wife. With speculation around the timing of their relationship and cheating accusations, it's understandable that they kept things low-key and private. They also may not have wanted their relationship to be defined by the drama surrounding its beginnings."
She also suggested they are still in the early stages of their romance. Ariana is believed to have separated from her husband Dalton Gomez in January, while Ethan filed to divorce his estranged wife Lilly Jay in July.

As two high-profile celebrities who have been working together on the set of Wicked, it can be challenging to have a normal and authentic relationship when so much attention is on them.
"By keeping things private, they may be better able to focus on building a strong foundation for their relationship with minimal external distractions or pressures." The expert also pointed out that Ariana regularly keeps her relationships private.
She said: "Ariana has had high-profile relationships in the past. However, she kept her most recent marriage to Dalton Gomez fairly private, so it's possible that she wants to approach her new relationship in a similar manner.
"She may have learned from her past experiences and decided to prioritize privacy and discretion in future romances. Similarly, Ethan Slater's personal life hasn’t been covered much in the media, except for his recent split from his wife, so he may be more comfortable keeping his relationships out of the spotlight because that’s what he’s used to. Overall, it's likely a combination of wanting to avoid any drama or negativity around their relationship, as well as prioritizing privacy in their personal lives."
