Ariana Grande & Ricky Alvarez: Red Carpet Romance Reignited

Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez made their relationship red carpet official at the November 11 premiere of Grande's film, Focker-In-Law, held in New York City. This event signifies their first joint appearance on a red carpet since reconciling earlier this year. Grande showcased a vintage Badgley Mischka gown featuring a plaid design and drop-waist silhouette. She accessorized with diamond earrings and wore her hair in an updo, complemented by '90s-inspired makeup.

Alvarez, Grande's former backup dancer, appeared alongside her in a black blazer, white button-down shirt, and jeans. The couple first dated from 2015 to 2016 and reportedly got back together earlier in 2026, initially sparking rumors after a sighting in Austin, Texas. A source indicated they were taking things slowly, with Grande valuing Alvarez's dependability and support.

Their rekindled romance was further solidified with a public announcement on Instagram in August. This comes after Grande's previous relationship with Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, which concluded in 2025 after nearly three years together.
