Romance

Ariana Grande appears to have confirmed her rekindled romance with ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez. This August 12, the 33-year-old singer shared a series of Instagram photos featuring the dancer, including a cozy mirror snap and a blurry photo of the pair hugging.

Grande did not write a traditional caption, instead posting only symbols and an emoji, but she tagged Alvarez in the photos. Alvarez later reshared the hugging image on his Instagram Stories, along with a picture of Grande wearing a T-shirt for her album ‘Petals.’

The post comes after Page Six reported in July that Grande and Alvarez had rekindled their romance following her split from Ethan Slater after three years together. Grande and Alvarez first dated from 2015 to 2016 after meeting when he became one of her backup dancers.

The update also comes as Grande prepares to take a break from the spotlight after her tour wraps in September.
