Dubai: Ariana Grande has officially announced her relationship with dancer Ricky Alvarez on Instagram, following weeks of subtle hints. The confirmation came in a photo carousel with images of Grande, her pets, and friends, featuring two photos of her with Alvarez - each tagged by her. The caption read simply with an exclamation mark and a heart.
Alvarez shared both photos on his Stories. The lyric "Wrote some songs about Ricky, and they still really slap" from her 2019 hit "Thank U, Next" hinted at their relationship. She changed the lyric on 24 June, 26 June, and 13 July, each time mentioning Alvarez. Alvarez, 35, is a dancer who worked on Grande's Honeymoon Tour and they dated for a year from July 2015 to July 2016.
They were friendly again by 2018 when she included him in the "Thank U, Next" music video. Grande is currently on her Eternal Sunshine tour, releasing album "Petal" and planning to step away from public life post-tour.
