SpongeBob Voice Actor’s Wife Sets the Record Straight: Ariana Grande’s Heartthrob is Not Tom Kenny!

Oh boy, it looks like there’s been a mix-up in Bikini Bottom! The rumor mill has been buzzing about who has captured Ariana Grande’s heart, and it seems the wrong SpongeBob is getting the credit.

Let’s get it right, folks. The lucky guy reportedly dating the “7 Rings” sensation is none other than Ethan Slater, who rocked the stage as SpongeBob in Broadway’s The SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage. Sorry, but it’s not Tom Kenny, the voice behind the iconic SpongeBob on Nickelodeon.

Tom Kenny’s wife, Jill Talley, made it crystal clear under an Instagram post discussing Grande’s alleged romance. In her words, “Hi everyone, I’m married to Tom Kenny (who voices SpongeBob on the TV show). He is not dating Ariana Grande. I don’t know if Ethan Slater (who played SpongeBob in the musical) is or isn’t dating Ariana Grande. However, they’re both adorable and I totally ship it. Just wanted to set the record straight. P.S. as for me and Tom Kenny — we are celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary today.”

Now that’s what we call some serious clarification!

But wait, there’s more. Reports have surfaced that Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande found their spark after both of their previous relationships ended. Ethan, who recently parted ways with singer Lilly Jay after celebrating four years of marriage, seems to have stumbled upon some “Sweetener” in his life.

And let’s not forget Ariana’s love life shuffle. She tied the knot with Dalton Gomez two years ago, but it seems their paths have taken a different turn.

While Ariana gears up to bewitch us as Glinda in the live-action film adaptation of Wicked, alongside Cynthia Erivo’s enchanting Elphaba, Ethan is getting his munchkin on as Boq, who, fittingly, has a crush on Glinda.

Phew! Now that we’ve cleared up the SpongeBob love triangle and set the record straight, we can all sail back to smoother waters. So, let’s raise a glass to Ethan Slater and Ariana Grande—may their love be as sweet as a Krabby Patty!
