Ariana Grande officially hard-launched her on-again boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, on Instagram.
The âPetalsâ songstress took to the platform Wednesday to share several loved-up photos with the dancer, including a cozy mirror snap that showed his arm wrapped around her shoulder.
While Grande only showed herself and Alvarez from the neck down, she didnât shy away from tagging him.
A second blurry snap showed the couple hugging, as the Grammy winner, 33, appeared to be wearing purple fairy wings.
Grande included several selfies and photos of her dogs in the sweet photo dump, which she simply captioned, âđ± ïŒ âĄ.â
As for Alvarez, 35, he reshared a photo of the pop star sporting a âPetalâ T-shirt via his Instagram Stories Wednesday.
He also reposted Grandeâs second photo of them hugging.
Last month, Page Six exclusively confirmed that Grande and Alvarez, who dated from 2015 to 2016, had rekindled their romance following her breakup with Ethan Slater after three years together.
âBut she isnât rushing back into the relationship,â an insider told us. âShe has a lot on her plate at the moment and is still incredibly busy with her tour schedule, so theyâre taking things one step at a time.â
The source explained that Alvarez âhas remained close with Arianaâs family over the years, and thatâs something she really appreciates.â
âHe has also made an effort to show up and support her while sheâs on tour, which hasnât gone unnoticed,â the insider continued.
The â7 Ringsâ singer embarked on the âEternal Sunshineâ tour in June, and Alvarez was notably in attendance at several shows.
Insiders told Page Six that Grande has been leaning on her beau, who has been âsuper supportiveâ of her, as she prepares to take a step back from the limelight when she wraps up her tour in September.
According to her rep, she will take a âmuch-deserved breakâ after enduring âendless, ongoing public scrutiny.â
Another source told Page Six that the âYes, And?â singer also plans on spending her time off with Alvarez, along with her family and friends.
Grande and Alvarez met in 2014 when the latter became her backup dancer. Alvarez later joined Grande on the 2015 Honeymoon Tour.
