The couple arrived together at the venue, embracing and posing for photographers to mark their first red-carpet event as a pair. Alvarez first worked as a backup dancer on Grande’s *Honeymoon Tour* across 2014 and 2015 before the two dated between 2015 and 2016. Rumours of a reconciled romance began in June after sightings in Austin, Texas, followed by shared photographs on social media in August and modified live lyrics during a September concert performance.
The premiere highlights Grande’s role as Olivia Jones in *Focker-in-Law*, the fourth installment in the *Meet the Parents* franchise directed by John Hamburg. The upcoming comedy features returning actors Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro alongside Skyler Gisondo, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo, Beanie Feldstein, and Blythe Danner, with a US theatrical release set for November 25.
