Pop star and actress Ariana Grande shared a passionate kiss with her boyfriend as she wrapped up her tour before pausing activities.
On the 5th, Ariana Grande posted a video on her social media looking back on her "Eternal Sunshine" tour and subtly revealed her romance with Ricky Alvarez, who became her boyfriend, to fans.
Grande posted a black-and-white video of moments from the tour along with the caption, "This experience meant so much to me that words simply cannot express it. Saying 'I love you' is far from enough. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Always yours, Ariana."
The video included behind-the-scenes footage of the "Eternal Sunshine" tour, which concluded after 41 shows. It showed moments not seen on stage, from Grande rehearsing onstage to preparing for performances.
In particular, Grande leaned toward the edge of the stage where Alvarez was filming her, and the two showed affection by sharing a passionate kiss. By including her romance with Alvarez in the tour behind-the-scenes video, she once again officially acknowledged the relationship.
Grande also showed affection for Alvarez at the final performance. At that time, Grande hinted that she wanted to marry Alvarez by changing part of the lyrics to "thank u, next." The original lyrics were "Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh," and at the final show Grande changed them to "Wrote some songs about Ricky / I'm tryna make him my last."
Grande and Alvarez briefly dated from 2015 to 2016 before breaking up. Recently, rumors of the two dating resurfaced about two months after Grande ended her three-year relationship with actor Ethan Slater, whom she met on the set of the film "Wicked."
A source told U.S. entertainment outlet Page Six, "Ariana has rekindled a relationship with Ricky, but she is not rushing it. The two are taking the relationship one step at a time." Grande later officially confirmed the relationship by posting photos with Alvarez on her social media last month.
Earlier last month Grande said she would pause activities after the "Eternal Sunshine" tour, saying, "I will take a break from activities that constantly expose me to the public."
