Ariana Grande Rekindles Romance with Ex Ricky Alvarez After a Decade

After weeks of speculation, it is now confirmed that Ariana Grande has reunited with her ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, with whom she first dated in 2015 for about a year. According to TMZ, insiders revealed that the couple is taking things slowly as they rekindle their relationship. Recently, Ariana and Ricky were seen spending time together on several occasions, including a group gathering in Texas in June and Fourth of July celebrations with Ariana's family in Florida.

Adding to the confirmation, Ariana, who is currently on tour, altered the lyrics of her song "thank u, next", originally about Ricky, singing on stage, "we always find our way back." Earlier this year, Ariana ended her relationship with actor and "Mean Girls" star Ethan Slater, whom she met during filming and publicly dated from July 2023 after her split from then-husband Dalton Gomez. Both Ariana and Ethan had finalized their previous marriages before dating each other.

Walla Celebs wishes the couple success but notes that Ariana seems to prefer keeping her past relationships in the past.
