Ariana Grande makes red carpet debut with Ricky Alvarez after rekindling romance

Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the New York premiere of her comedy, “Focker-in-Law”. Their public appearance marks a new chapter in a relationship they rekindled earlier this year, after dating briefly in 2015.

Grande has said she plans to step back from public-facing work after her “Eternal Sunshine” tour, which ended on 1 September, to spend more time with family, friends and Alvarez. She also withdrew from a planned West End production; the article notes the couple have been seen with matching “love” tattoos, while Grande has hinted at the relationship in a lyric change. She and “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater split after three years together.
