SpongeBob Star Jokes: Rumors of Throuple with Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater
Ariana Grande’s romantic life caused quite a commotion in Bikini Bottom.
No one understands this better than Tom Kenny, the voice behind Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants for the past 25 years. When news of Ariana’s relationship with Broadway star Ethan Slater surfaced last year, Tom had a humorous reaction to the mix-up.
“It was pretty funny,” Tom shared with E! News on October 7 at The Krabby Patty Kollab, an event celebrating SpongeBob SquarePants’ 25th anniversary. “The headlines read ‘SpongeBob actor dating Ariana Grande,’ and people thought I was quite the ladies’ man.”
Thankfully, Tom’s wife Jill Talley took it all in good humor, clarifying that her husband was definitely not dating Ariana Grande. She did, however, find Ari and Ethan “adorable” and expressed her support for their relationship. As for Tom, aged 62, he simply had fun with the whole situation.
