Back Together After 10 Years: Ariana Grande Confirms Romance with Ex-Boyfriend Ricky Alvarez

Ariana Grande has officially confirmed her renewed romance with dancer Ricky Alvarez by sharing cozy photos together on Instagram. The couple, who previously dated from 2015 to 2016, has decided to give their relationship a second chance.

The 33-year-old pop star posted a series of intimate snapshots. In one grainy selfie, Alvarez gently wraps his arm around the singer’s shoulder. While their faces aren't fully visible in the frame, Ariana tagged Ricky in the photo. A second picture captures the couple tightly embracing, with the singer wearing whimsical purple fairy wings.

Last month, Page Six sources exclusively confirmed that Ariana and Ricky rekindled their romance following the singer's split from Ethan Slater after three years together.

"She’s not rushing into anything headfirst, though," an insider shared. "She has a very hectic schedule right now with a lot of commitments tied to her tour, so they’re taking everything step by step."

Rumors of the couple's reunion first sparked in June, when Alvarez was spotted at several concerts during her Eternal Sunshine tour. Sources note that Ricky has maintained a great relationship with Ariana's family for years, which means a lot to the singer. Furthermore, he has been providing immense support during her tour.

The relationship with Alvarez unfolds as the singer prepares for a career break. According to a representative for the artist, after wrapping up her tour in September, Ariana plans to take a "well-deserved break" to shield herself from "endless public pressure and criticism."

Sources close to the singer confirm that she intends to spend her upcoming hiatus surrounded by family, friends, and by Ricky Alvarez's side.
