Ariana Grande Gets Cozy With Her Ex-BF, Ricky Alvarez On The Streets, Fans React, 'Wishing Them..'

PEOPLE says the pair are taking things very slowly after Grande changed lyrics in “Thank U, Next” and spent the Fourth of July weekend together.

  • Ariana Grande fueled reunion rumors during her Eternal Sunshine Tour by altering lyrics to "Thank U, Next," replacing the original line with "We always find our way back" to reference Ricky Alvarez.
  • The pair previously dated in 2015 after working together on the Honeymoon Tour; PEOPLE reported they spent the Fourth of July weekend together in Florida earlier this month, with sources noting they are "taking things very slowly."
  • While Grande has amassed a fortune estimated at around $250 million through music and business, Alvarez has built a career as a professional choreographer with an estimated net worth of around $2 million.
  • Grande, who recently starred in Wicked, values Alvarez as a dependable friend, feeling she can "be herself around Ricky" according to reports while maintaining their low-profile dynamic.
  • Alvarez remains focused on his behind-the-scenes work in the entertainment industry as the couple keeps their interactions largely private, neither publicly confirming a serious relationship nor disclosing personal wealth.
