Grande originally dated Alvarez, her former backup dancer, from 2015 to 2016. They got back together earlier this year, sparking romance rumors after a sighting in Austin, Texas. A source later told People that they were “taking things very slowly.”
“Ariana has always considered Ricky a friend,” said the insider. “She’s not held ill will against him [since their split]. Ricky is dependable, trustworthy and very supportive. Ariana feels she can be herself around Ricky.”

More recently, the couple hard-launched their relationship on Instagram, with Grande sharing photos of the two of them in a carousel posted in August.
Prior to getting back together with Alvarez, Grande was in a relationship with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, though they went their separate ways in 2025 after nearly three years of dating.
