Ariana Grande was seen spending the Fourth of July weekend in Florida with her ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, after the pair were spotted grocery shopping together in the US just days earlier, fuelling fresh questions over whether the former couple are dating again. The renewed Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez buzz comes barely weeks after reports that Grande had split from Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.
Grande and Alvarez, a dancer, first dated between 2015 and 2016, a period immortalised in her hit single Thank U, Next. Their relationship pre-dated her marriages and later high-profile romances, but the friendship between them appears to have endured. The latest public outings arrive at a particularly delicate moment, with the singer in the middle of her The Eternal Sunshine Tour, her first run of shows since 2019, and navigating the fallout from her break-up with Slater.
