Ariana Grande has confirmed she is dating her ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez. The singer posted a mirror selfie on Instagram on August 12 showing Alvarez with his arm over her shoulder without showing his face, along with other behind-the-scenes tour photos. Alvarez had attended multiple shows of Grande's 'Eternal Sunshine' tour, and Grande changed the lyrics to her song 'Thank You, Next' to reference him.
The two had dated in 2015 before splitting a year later but remained friends. Alvarez was a backup dancer on Grande's 'Honeymoon' tour and is also a photographer. The news follows Grande's split from Ethan Slater, whom she had dated for nearly three years. People magazine reports the couple is taking things slowly, with a source calling Alvarez supportive and dependable.
Social media 'soft launches' have become the modern proof of celebrity relationships. Yet the coverage of Grande and Alvarez feels like a breathless hype cycle built on a single mirror selfie and altered lyrics. The real story is how quickly the narrative moved from her split with Ethan Slater to this. Watch if Alvarez appears at more tour stops or if Grande addresses the romance directly.
