A source close to the couple told Us Weekly that things are better than ever between the "inseparable" pair, who are "living in bliss."
“Ariana and Ethan have written a whole new book together,” the source said, adding that the actors, who connected on the set of Wicked, are “still in the honeymoon phase of pure bliss."
The co-stars have recently been juggling their relationship with the whirlwind press tour for Wicked, but the source says they've only grown closer while promoting the musical—and that “their friends are fully supportive" of their relationship.
