Ariana Grande has made her relationship with Ricky Alvarez Instagram official.

The singer confirmed this after sharing a series of images on her own account on Wednesday, including one which appears to show the pair wearing matching white tops, with Alvarez's hand over her shoulder.

While the couple's faces are cropped out of the snaps, Grande still tagged Alvarez, and the dancer and photographer also shared it on his own Instagram stories.


Alvarez had been a backup dancer for Grande during her 2015 Honeymoon Tour, and the pair had been reportedly dated in 2016.

This comes following rumours which have spread about the pair over the last few months.

Following their initial split a decade ago, Ariana Grande had namedropped Ricky in her 2018 track, Thank U, Next, and sang about how she "wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh".

Earlier this summer, Grande appeared to alter the lyrics of the song during one of hers shows from her Eternal Sunshine Tour, replacing the second line with "We always find our way back". The initial line read: "Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh," Ariana sang: "Wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back". 

She also teased their relationship in another post, tagging Alvarez in a Polaroid of herself.

This also comes days after it was announced that Ariana Grande was to take a step back from public life following the conclusion of this tour.

It was also confirmed that she had dropped out of the London run of the Stephen Sondheim musical Sunday in the Park with George, where she was due to star opposite her Wicked colleague Jonathan Bailey.

"Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour", a representative for Grande told People. "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".
