Ariana Grande Goes Official with Ricky Alvarez
Ariana Grande has made her relationship with Ricky Alvarez official on Instagram. The singer posted a photo carousel on August 12, featuring selfies, videos, and two photos with Alvarez, confirming their rekindled romance. This comes after weeks of subtle hints, including altered tour lyrics and public appearances together.
Grande and Alvarez initially dated from July 2015 to July 2016, and have remained close over the years. Alvarez, a 35-year-old dancer, worked on Grande’s Honeymoon Tour, which is how they met. During her summer tour, Grande rewrote a line from her song “Thank U, Next” to hint at their reunion, changing the lyrics to “Wrote some songs about Ricky, and they still really slap” and later to “We’ll always find our way back.”
The confirmation of their relationship marks a new chapter for the couple, eight years after their initial split. Fans have been speculating about their reunion since Alvarez started attending Grande’s tour dates in June, and the two were photographed together at lunch between concerts. Anyone following Ariana Grande’s summer tour just got the confirmation they’ve been waiting for.
