Ariana Grande goes Instagram-official with on-again boyfriend Ricky Alvarez after announcing break from the spotlight
Ariana Grande officially hard-launched her on-again boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, on Instagram.
The “Petals” songstress took to the platform Wednesday to share several loved-up photos with the dancer, including a cozy mirror snap that showed his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
While Grande only showed herself and Alvarez from the neck down, she didn’t shy away from tagging him.
A second blurry snap showed the couple hugging, as the Grammy winner, 33, appeared to be wearing purple fairy wings.
Grande included several selfies and photos of her dogs in the sweet photo dump, which she simply captioned, “🌱 ! ♡.”
As for Alvarez, 35, he reshared a photo of the pop star sporting a “Petal” T-shirt via his Instagram Stories Wednesday.
He also reposted Grande’s second photo of them hugging.
Last month, Page Six exclusively confirmed that Grande and Alvarez, who dated from 2015 to 2016, had rekindled their romance following her breakup with Ethan Slater after three years together.
“But she isn’t rushing back into the relationship,” an insider told us. “She has a lot on her plate at the moment and is still incredibly busy with her tour schedule, so they’re taking things one step at a time.”
The source explained that Alvarez “has remained close with Ariana’s family over the years, and that’s something she really appreciates.”
“He has also made an effort to show up and support her while she’s on tour, which hasn’t gone unnoticed,” the insider continued.
The “7 Rings” singer embarked on the “Eternal Sunshine” tour in June, and Alvarez was notably in attendance at several shows.
Insiders told Page Six that Grande has been leaning on her beau, who has been “super supportive” of her, as she prepares to take a step back from the limelight when she wraps up her tour in September.
According to her rep, she will take a “much-deserved break” after enduring “endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”
Another source told Page Six that the “Yes, And?” singer also plans on spending her time off with Alvarez, along with her family and friends.
Grande and Alvarez met in 2014 when the latter became her backup dancer. Alvarez later joined Grande on the 2015 Honeymoon Tour.
