Ariana Grande is no longer listening to and laughing at the songs she wrote about Ricky Alvarez; instead, the couple looked more loved-up than ever at the Focker-in-Law premiere in New York
Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez looked like love’s young dream as they made their red carpet debut. The 33-year-old pop singer whipped fans into a frenzy in August when she confirmed she and dancer Ricky had rekindled their romance.
The pair made their relationship public with a string of pictures shared on social media. Ariana and Ricky dated from 2015 to 2016. But after their split, it seemed as though there was no way back for the couple.
On her 2019 song, Thank U, Next, Ariana sings: “Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh.” But since rekindling their romance, she has altered the lyrics for live performances, including: “We always find our way back.”

And now it seems as though their relationship is pressing full speed ahead. The happy couple stepped out on Wednesday in New York, as Ariana attended the premiere of her latest movie, Focker-in-Law.
The singer looked as glamorous as ever, wearing a grey vintage Badgley Mischka dress from the Nineties, complete with spaghetti straps, a low neckline and a figure-hugging bodice, decorated with floral embellishments.
Despite the glamorous occasion, Ariana opted to keep her makeup to a minimum while wearing her hair in a sleek updo. She completed her look with a simple pair of white earrings.
Meanwhile, Ricku looked smart in a black blazer, which he completed with a white shirt, dark jeans and a pair of brown shoes. During their arrival on the red carpet, the couple posed for photographs before sharing a kiss with one another.
Ricky also took to his Instagram Story to share a selfie with Ariana as they made their way to the premiere. Captioning the post, which saw Ariana flashing a huge smile, he penned: “Seeing a movie,” alongside a white heart emoji.
Ariana was joined by her fellow cast members at the event at the Beacon Theatre in New York, including Owen Wilson, Chris Redd, Eduardo Franco and Beanie Feldstein. Prior to Ariana and Ricky confirming their relationship, a source said she had “always considered” him a friend after their split.
“She’s not held ill will against him. Ricky is dependable, trustworthy and very supportive,” they said. The source went on to add: “Ariana feels she can be herself around Ricky. They have a similar, smart, dry sense of humour. They’re not jumping into anything serious right away, but Ari is happy to have him back in her life. Ricky has always been a friend and confidant. He has such great, positive energy, makes her laugh, and she enjoys spending time with him.”
Their outing comes just months after Ariana told fans she would be taking a break from public life following intense scrutiny of her appearance. She also pulled out of the upcoming London stage production of Stephen Sondheim’s musical Sunday in the Park with George.
A spokesperson for Ariana said in August: “Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour. She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
