Ariana Grande is dipping her feet back within the dating pond again with a well-recognized face.
Us Weekly can confirm the Grammy winner, 33, and Ricky Alvarez are back together nearly 10 years after their initial split. (People was first to report the news.)
“They’ve all the time shared an in depth bond,” an insider exclusively told Us earlier this month after the pair were seen leaving a Whole Foods in Boca Raton, Florida, through the 4th of July weekend. “There was a period in time where they weren’t close — while she was with Ethan [Slater] — so she is pleased to reconnect with him again.”
The source continued, “Ariana is grateful to have him in her life without delay, and he’s been an enormous source of support.”
News broke in June that Grande had officially called it quits with Slater, 34, after nearly three years of dating. On the time, a source said they’d been quietly broken up for several months.
“It’s amicable. They gave a number of time and careful consideration and decided to go their separate ways,” the insider shared on the time. “They’re still friends and really supportive of each other.”
In recent days, fans have kept their deal with Alvarez, especially after Grande modified the lyrics to one among her hit songs during a concert on the Barclays Center in Latest York on Monday, July 13.
On her original 2018 single “Thank U, Next,” the singer referenced her previous romance with Alvarez while name-checking quite a few exes, reminiscing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh.”
During her recent concert, nevertheless, Grande switched the lyrics to “Wrote some songs about Ricky / We all the time find our way back.”
She also previously fueled reconciliation rumors during her show in Austin, Texas, on June 26, singing to the gang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Know he still got my back.”
Since her humble beginnings in Boca Raton, Florida, Ariana Grande has change into one of the vital recognizable names within the entertainment industry. The singer had a knack for entertaining from an early age, acting at various children’s theaters and in local musicals before landing her first major role as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon show […]
Alvarez is a successful photographer who shares his work on social media. He previously was a backup dancer for Grande on her 2014 to 2015 Honeymoon Tour. They began dating in 2015 before calling it quits in 2016.
While appearing on the Zach Sang Show in 2019, Grande revealed that Alvarez regularly joked about his shout-out in “Thank U, Next.”
“Ricky loved it. He was proud. But Ricky was like, ‘Why did I get the worst line?’ And I used to be like, ‘What do you mean?’” she recalled. “He was like, ‘Everyone else’s line is so nice, and mine is like, ‘Man, f*** him, he’s trash.’ I used to be like, I could have said that. I could’ve said, ‘Wrote some songs about Ricky, never mind he’s trash.’ … But I didn’t. I said, ‘Now I listen and laugh.’”
