Ariana Grande, Ricky Alvarez link up for PR relationship ahead of 'Petal'?

Ariana Grande ended her relationship with Ethan Slater after dating him for three years during her association with the Wicked franchise.

After splitting ways with the actor, the 33-year-old singer hit the road for her global tour Eternal Sunshine.

As the Grammy winner prepares to release her new album Petal, she started hanging out with her former boyfriend Ricky Alvarez more often.

In pictures obtained by Just Jared, the musician and the dancer were recently pictured at Whole Foods recently, recreating an iconic moment from the past when the duo were seen holding paper bags.

The online community was left wondering if they are romantically involved after closing a chapter with the Gen V star.

Commenting on her weight, several fans were happy that the singer might start consuming healthy diet while one X user speculated that the outing is a marketing stunt for Petal.

They asked everyone to wait, claiming about the reported duo: “No genuinely happy celeb couple tries this hard to get photographed,” asking about candid “kissing pics.”

Why did Ariana Grande date Ethan Slater?

Ariana faced similar accusations when she was dating her co-star Ethan as many claimed that the two are together to promote the Wicked movies.

Their breakup right after the promotional tour wrapped up added fire to the rumours. However, her friends and family revealed through a source that they noticed a pattern which was unhealthy.
