Old flame, new romance: Ariana Grande makes first public appearance with Ricky Alvarez
The couple attended the premiere of «Meet the Parents: A New Chapter»
American singer and actress Ariana Grande has made her first red-carpet appearance with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez since rekindling their relationship. The couple attended the premiere of «Meet the Parents: A New Chapter», which took place in New York the previous evening.
The two happily posed for photographers together, embraced and made no secret of their affection for one another.
For the occasion, Grande opted for a vintage 1990s Badgley Mischka dress featuring a grey-and-silver check pattern and floral embroidery on the bodice. She completed the look with understated jewellery and an elegant updo. Alvarez went for a more relaxed outfit, pairing a black blazer with a white shirt and dark jeans.
Grande and Alvarez’s love story first began back in 2015. At the time, Ricky was working as a dancer on the singer’s team during her «Honeymoon Tour». Their relationship lasted around a year before they went their separate ways. Grande later even referenced her former boyfriend in her hit song «Thank U, Next».
Rumours of a reconciliation first surfaced in the spring of 2026, when the pair were spotted together in Texas. In August, the singer all but confirmed their romance by sharing photos of the two of them on Instagram. Now, the couple have made their first official red-carpet appearance together.
