Since getting back together over the summer, rekindled flames Ariana Grande and Ricky Álvarez have been hitting all of the classic relationship milestones that we’re all familiar with. She posted him deep in the middle of an Instagram photo dump, she got a clavicle tattoo to match his, and just last night they strolled the red carpet together at the premiere of her newest movie. We’ve all been there, right?
Grande and Álvarez, who previously dated for a year in 2015, made their red-carpet debut at the premiere of Focker-in-Law in New York on Wednesday night. She wore a vintage Bradley Mischka gown paired with a tinier ponytail than usual, while he went for a cool and casual look by pairing a suit jacket with jeans (no tie, of course). The couple posed for photos with the arms around each other, with Grande often looking at Álvarez with pure adoration.
The couple’s big night out is the latest development in Grande’s gradual return to the spotlight. In August, she announced that she would be “taking a step back from visibility” after her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Since then, she and Álvarez have been quietly hanging out around New York City, doing normal-person stuff like watching the marathon and posting couples TikToks. She came back into the public eye on Sunday, appearing on The Tonight Show to promote Focker-in-Law with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.
For his part, Álvarez seems to be taking this public step forward in a pretty chill fashion. He shared a photo of him and Grande on his Instagram Story Wednesday night, coolly captioned, “Seeing a movie.” You see, to him, all of this is no big deal. Hence the jeans.
