Ariana Grande reunited with her former flame Ricky Alvarez for a cozy Fourth of July weekend.
On Saturday, the duo was spotted leaving a Whole Foods in Boca Raton, Florida, their arms laden with grocery bags.
Grande opted for a laid-back style, donning jeans and a hoodie, her hair neatly tied up in a bun.
Alvarez chose a classic look, wearing dark jeans paired with a crisp white collared shirt, sneakers, and a black baseball cap.
The former backup dancer, who was romantically linked with Grande from 2015 to 2016, assisted the Grammy-winning star by carrying the bags and loading them into the vehicle.
Grande’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The “Wicked” star and Alvarez, both 33, made headlines for hanging out in June, the same month news broke of the songwriter splitting from boyfriend Ethan Slater.
Photos circulated of the actress and Alvarez out to eat in Texas — but a source insisted to TMZ at the time that there “is nothing romantic between Ariana and Ricky this time around.”
Grande, notably, changed lyrics about Alvarez during a recent concert.
Instead of singing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh” during the June show in Austin, the “Victorious” alum gushed that he has “still got [her] back.”
Alvarez’s reaction was caught on camera at the time, as he proudly shook a friend’s hand.
When the song originally came out, Grande wrote via Instagram, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IM SORRY YOU GOT THE WORST LINE @rickyrozay it was meant v lovingly.”
He and Grande, notably, have remained amicable over the years and were spotted together in January 2019.
After their short-lived romance, Grande moved on with Mac Miller, ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, Dalton Gomez — whom she was married to from 2021 to 2024 — and Slater.
We hear Grande and Slater, 34, split “several months” before news broke.
“They’ve remained friends since then and have nothing but respect and admiration for one another,” a source told us in June. “This wasn’t a decision they took lightly but realized they were better off friends than in a committed relationship.”
