Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez are quietly exploring a second shot at romance, with a source claiming the pair are 'taking things very slowly' as they spend more time together on the singer's current tour and family trips.

The pop star and her former backup dancer first dated between 2015 and 2016, a relationship that unfolded in the glare of Grande's early superstardom. Their split appeared amicable at the time, and Alvarez went on to be immortalised, briefly and wryly, in her 2018 hit 'Thank U, Next.' Now, eight years later, the dynamic between the exes is edging back into romantic territory, according to people close to them.
