Milo Manheim gushes over Ariana Grande, Liz Gillies close friendship

Milo Manheim was all praises about the friendship Ariana Grande and Liz Gilles share as he spoke about a sweet encounter.

The Zombies actor, who stars alongside Gillies in the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors, recalled the day when Grande came to support Gillies last month.

In conversation with the People magazine at Disney 2025 Upfronts in New York City, the School Spirits star lauded the two artists' friendship.

"They're both such sweeties," he said. "It was really nice to see Ariana there supporting Liz, and I could see them just being like little girls again enjoying being in the theater."

He added, "It makes such sense that they are friends. They're both such kind souls, both such theater girlies."

Grande attended Little Shop of Horrors with boyfriend Ethan Slater in April, and a source told outlet that they arrived about an hour early "and hung out backstage with the cast."

Grande and Gillie met as children starring in the Broadway production of 13. The pair were later cast on the popular Nickelodeon series Victorious, which ran from 2010 to 2013.

Meanwhile, the Little Shop of Horrors is playing at the Westside Theatre in New York City.
