Los Angeles, California – Instead of letting Hollywood gossip simmer, Ariana Grande has laid all her cards on the table at once! With several intimate cuddle photos, the singer has now (again) made her love for background dancer Ricky Alvarez public.
Almost four months ago, the split between the 33-year-old singer and actor Ethan Slater made headlines. The breakup was reportedly amicable – no sniping, no gossip.
Ariana now seems to have moved on from the final chapter of their romance. On Monday, the pop star shared several snapshots of her daily life on Instagram, and the PDA-filled photos with dancer Ricky Alvarez stood out the most!
One shot shows the two tightly embraced, gazing affectionately at each other in a park. A few pictures later, Ariana and Ricky are seen together at a restaurant. The Positions artist captioned her latest post with a heart and several exclamation points.

This isn’t the first time the lovebirds have appeared together in public. Back in the summer of 2015, they were caught up in a scandal after they allegedly licked several pastries at a donut shop!
After more than a decade, the pair is now making a comeback.
Ariana Grande’s love life has never been dull, as she has shown over the past few years. In 2018, the singer became engaged to Pete Davidson – but the happiness was short‑lived. A few months later, they called off the engagement.
She met her later partner, Dalton Gomez, in February 2020, but their marriage fell apart in early 2023.
During the filming of Wicked, Ariana began seeing Ethan Slater. Rumor has it that the two fell for each other on set.

The situation was especially delicate, as the 34‑year‑old was still married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, at the time and was the father of a one‑year‑old child.
After filming, Ariana and Ethan were spotted together in public more and more often. By the end of 2024, they confirmed their relationship. Now it’s over, and they are said to remain friends.
