Erivo echoed Grande’s sentiments, highlighting their thoughtful approach to navigating challenging moments on set. “We respect each other’s boundaries and prioritize love and understanding.”
Grande’s emotions overflowed as she reflected on their bond, saying, “We’ve done an incredible job of building a beautiful connection.”
