Ariana Grande has not hesitated in dropping major hints about her budding romance with Ricky Álvarez.
The Eternal Sunshine Tour headliner made a surprise move on social media recently, leaving the internet in shock waves.
Ariana – who is a main subject of online chatter due to her potential reunion with her former boyfriend- has seemingly soft-launched her romance with the retired footballer.
On Monday, July 27th, the pop star took to her Instagram account to share a carousel of images featuring herself and a handful of glimpses into her private life.
"Petal season continued," Ariana captioned her 20-image carousel while promoting her upcoming eighth studio album, Petal.
She kicked off the slew of images with an enchanting selfie of herself, showing her look, which she created in one of her tracks of the anticipated musical collection.
However, the fourth slide garnered attention of fans as she dropped a boomerang with Ricky, as they cheered two green olives.
Ariana also tagged her beau in a soundless snap.
As the new photos made it to the Gram, fans began flooding her comment section speculating whether the singer has been back with Ricky.
One commented, “Polaroids galore, my heart.”
“Omg so cute,” a second noted.
A third said. “Very much perfect!!!!”
For those new to the room, Ariana Grande has been linked again with Ricky Álvarez since late June after her split with her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater.
As of now, neither the superstar nor her partner has confirmed their relationship.
The month of July is extremely fortunate for Ariana Grande as she has reunited with the love of her life, and she is also gearing up to release her much-awaited musical album, Petal, on July 31st, 2026.
