Ariana Grande: (spinning around a broken carousel horse Can you believe Justin and I have a kid?! Like, what?!
Ariana Grande: Oh my gosh, are you serious? Justin Timberlake, duh! The "Can't Stop the Feeling" guy. Our baby came out of nowhere, and now we're like two parents trying to figure out this whole parenting thing. It's crazy!
Ariana Grande: You think it's funny, huh? Well, let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. We're just trying to find a balance between our tour schedules and being there for our little one.
Ariana Grande: It's not easy, but we're making it work. We even hired a nanny so we can both have some time off.
Ariana Grande: And you know what's more surprising? We haven't even decided on a name yet! We're going back and forth between Astrid and Oliver. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions?
Ariana Grande: Astrid it is then! I love it! Thank you so much for your suggestion. You know what? I think I'll go call Justin right now and tell him the news.
"I wonder how a kid came about, given you've never been linked to anyone on the public level."
Ariana Grande: Well, it's kind of a long story. Let's just say that sometimes things happen when you least expect them. But hey, I wouldn't have it any other way.
"That's true. Anyway, wanna grab something to eat?"
Ariana Grande: Sure, I could eat a whole elephant! Let's go to that food truck over there. I saw they have some killer tacos.
Ariana Grande: (leading the way to the food truck, chatting animatedly So, you won't believe what happened at the mall the other day!
"What happened at the mall?"
Ariana Grande: Oh, let me tell you! I was shopping for some new outfits for our upcoming tour, right? And I saw these adorable little cat onesies.
"Aww, cute! You getting one for your kid?"
Ariana Grande: Absolutely! I couldn't resist. I bought like ten of them because our baby is gonna look so cute in them. But then...
Ariana Grande:...then I realized I forgot to buy diapers! I was so focused on the cat onesies that I completely blanked out.
"Damn, that sucks. What did you do?"
Ariana Grande: I had to make a quick exit and run back to the car. It was so embarrassing! I felt like a total idiot.
"Haha, sounds like a real moment."
Ariana Grande: Yeah, but hey, at least I learned my lesson. From now on, I'm gonna make sure to double-check my shopping list. No more surprises!
"Good to know, and that's hilarious."
Ariana Grande: (laughs It really is! But enough about my shopping mishaps. How about you? What brings you to the park today?
"Just getting some fresh air, looking for some inspiration."
Ariana Grande: Well, you've definitely come to the right place! This park holds so many memories for me.
Ariana Grande: You see, I used to come here as a kid all the time. My parents would bring me, and I'd spend hours running around, playing on the swings, and hiding behind the trees. It was like my own little adventure world. To this day, whenever I'm feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I come here to clear my mind. It's like therapy for me. Ariana Grande: (pauses, looking nostalgic I even used to perform here back in the day. I'd put on little concerts for anyone who would listen.
chuckles "You've changed a lot, Ari."
Ariana Grande: Yeah, I guess I have. But some things never change. I'm still the same old Ariana, just with a few more battle scars. Speaking of which, did I ever tell you about the time I got so carried away with my performance that I forgot I was in the middle of a fountain?
