Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez have officially stepped into the spotlight as a couple. The “Wicked” star and her boyfriend made their red carpet debut at the New York City premiere of “Focker In-Law” on Wednesday, November 11. The pair was seen posing close together for photographers, and the sweet moments have caught everyone’s attention online. It reportedly marks their first red carpet outing since rekindling their romance earlier this year.
Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez make their romance red carpet official
Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez got cozy at the Focker In-Law premiere in their first red-carpet appearance as a couple. The 33-year-old singer reportedly revived a ’90s Badgley Mischka gown for the occasion. The silver plaid dress featured a beaded bodice, thin straps, and a full skirt. Her hair was styled in a sleek high bun with a cream ribbon. Alvarez, 35, kept it casual in a black blazer, a white button-up shirt, and jeans.
In a video shared by Deux Moi, the couple seems inseparable. Alvarez wraps his arms around Grande’s waist as they lean in close, smiling from ear to ear. At one point, the singer appears to whisper in his ear, and the pair sway together while posing in front of the premiere backdrop. The post has already racked up over 45,000 likes and 760 comments at the time of writing.
For those unversed, Alvarez is a former backup dancer who has known Grande for years. They first sparked romance speculation in June, when they were spotted having lunch together in Austin, Texas. Furthermore, Grande has seemingly been open about her feelings. During a recent concert, she reportedly changed a lyric in “thank u, next” to say she is trying to make Alvarez her last.
Meanwhile, the premiere comes after Grande said in August that she planned to step back from public-facing work once her “Eternal Sunshine” tour wrapped in September. Sources reportedly said she still had promotional appearances for the film on the books.
