Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez have decided to give love a second chance. The singer publicly confirmed her relationship with the dancer and photographer, with whom she had a romance a decade ago, by sharing several photographs together on her Instagram account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grande, who gathers more than 360 million followers on the platform, included in a recent carousel two images in which she appears hugging \u00c1lvarez. The artist also shared the same self-portrait in his stories, although in the photograph both appear in a discreet manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The confirmation comes after several weeks of speculation regarding a possible reconciliation. The couple was seen in public again on June 26, when \u00c1lvarez attended one of Grande’s concerts in Austin. Subsequently, they were photographed together on several occasions, including during a walk through Chicago on July 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A story that began in 2015<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grande and \u00c1lvarez met during the singer’s Honeymoon Tour<\/em> in 2015. At that time, he was part of her team of dancers and they both began a relationship that lasted for approximately a year, until their separation in July 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c1lvarez’s name is also linked to one of Grande’s best-known songs, Thank U, Next<\/em>. In the original version, the artist sang about having written songs about Ricky and laughing later when listening to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, during her recent performances, Grande began to modify that part of the lyrics. In some concerts, she replaced the fragment with phrases such as that the songs about Ricky \u201care still the best\u201d and that he continues to support her, something that fueled speculation about a reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A relationship that moves calmly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to sources cited by US media, Grande and Alvarez have been gradually rekindling their bond. People close to the singer described him as someone she trusts and with whom she can be herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reconciliation comes a few months after Grande ended her three-year relationship with actor Ethan Slater. Before that courtship, the artist was married to Dalton Gomez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c1lvarez, for his part, left behind his career as a dancer and currently works as a photographer and creative director. He is the founder of the company All Things Mean, dedicated to the creation of visual content for various brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
