Ariana Grande’s “pov” on Sunday included Wimbledon's Centre Court — and costar Jonathan Bailey.

The “Positions” songstress, 30, and her Wicked castmate, 35, were among the star-studded crowd at day 14 of the English tennis tournament, where they sat shoulder-to-shoulder as they watched Spanish prodigy Carlos Alcaraz defeat Novak Djokovic in the men's singles final.

Both wearing sunglasses, the Grammy winner and the Bridgerton star shared smiles, laughs and whispered conversation as they enjoyed the beautiful weather — and thrilling on-court action — at the tournament.

Grande and Bailey were in close proximity to fellow actors Andrew Garfield, who sat on Grande’s left side, and Tom Hiddleston, who observed the match from the row in front of them with his fiancée Zawe Ashton.

Grande wore a chic all-gray ensemble — consisting of a long skirt and fitted turtleneck sweater — which she paired with simple black heels, a black handbag and a white baseball cap to block the sun as she enjoyed the match. During chillier moments, the pop star slipped on a tan coat.

The singer, who will portray Glinda in the upcoming Wicked adaptation, had the same bouncy blonde hairstyle that she was spotted rocking on set as the scepter-wielding Good Witch.

Bailey, who is set to play love interest Fiyero in the film, also opted for a monochromatic outfit, sporting neutrals from head to toe. Everything from the actor’s tie to his trousers were the same shade of tan, and he topped off the look with sleek gelled hair.

Whether filming as Glinda and Fiyero or enjoying some tennis together, the duo seems to share lots of laughs whenever they hang out.

Earlier this year, they were spotted filming scenes together in full costume. Both the English actor and “thank u, next” singer were all smiles — and giggles — in their flamboyant Wicked getups during the May sighting, which was captured on the movie’s U.K.-based set.

The cast of the upcoming adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical ⁠of the same name — which will be released in two parts — also boasts Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible.

The film also features Ethan Slater as BoqMarissa Bode as Nessarose, Bowen Yang as Pfannee, Bronwyn James as ShenShen, Keala Settle as Miss Coddle, Aaron Teoh as Avaric and Colin Michael Carmichael as Professor Nikidi, per IMDb.

At CinemaCon 2023 in April, Universal Pictures wrapped its presentation with surprise sneak-peek footage from the upcoming movie musical.

"They are born to play these roles," Universal chairman Donna Langley told the audience, referring to the film's lead actors. "They are brilliant and matched by an equally brilliant cast."

EXCLUSIVE: NO WEB BEFORE 5PM BST (12PM EST) 14TH MAY 2023-- From Viscount To Prince! Bridgerton's Jonathan Bailey Is Spotted On The Wicked Set In Costume For The First Time. The actor, who is best known as Viscount Anthony Bridgerton in Netflix‚Äôs steamy regency romance series, is playing love interest Fiyero in Wicked, opposite Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Jonathan looked handsome in an elaborate green and gold suit and black boots as he filmed alongside Ariana Grande on set in Buckinghamshire. Wicked, which is mostly set before Dorothy‚Äôs arrival in Oz, tells the story from the perspective of the witches, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Cynthia and Glinda, the Good Witch, played by Ariana. Bailey plays Fiyero, who is at the centre of a love triangle between Elphaba and Glinda. He gets engaged to Glinda, but his true feelings for Elphaba gradually surface and he helps her escape. The 35-year-old was seen filming scenes with Ariana and Michelle Yeoh, who plays evil headmistress Madame Morrible, on a purpose-built Land of Oz set in a farmer‚Äôs field in the village of Ivinghoe near Leighton Buzzard. Bailey, who had his hair slicked back, was seen on set hugging Ariana, 29, who was wearing an elaborate blue and purple sparkly dress and a dazzling tiara. They looked relaxed together as they laughed and joked in between takes for the two-part Universal Pictures production, with Bailey putting his arm around Ariana. Jonathan‚Äôs role in the film was confirmed by director Jon M Chu when he tweeted last September: ‚ÄúHe‚Äôs perfect, they‚Äôre perfect. They‚Äôd be perfect together. Born to be forever,‚Ä? as he referenced a line from Fiyero‚Äôs solo song, Dancing Through Life. He added: ‚ÄúI am too excited to pretend this hasn‚Äôt been happening. We have a Fiyero!!!!‚Ä?

Langley continued, "This movie has everything: giant musical numbers, big action pieces ... and using a classic story you all know, The Wizard of Oz. And at the end of the day, it's actually not about those things. It's about change and [how] it's necessary for things to get better."
