Ariana Grande has reignited speculation about her relationship with Ricky Alvarez after sharing a video from the end of her Eternal Sunshine Tour. The montage includes rehearsals, backstage scenes and a moment in which the pair kiss before returning to their activities.

The tour ended in London after 41 concerts. Alongside the footage, Grande thanked her fans and the experience in an emotional Instagram message: “This experience has meant more to me than words can express… ‘I love you’ does not begin to describe it. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Forever yours, Ariana.”

Their closeness was also visible in Grande’s final concert. She altered the lyrics of “thank u, next,” changing a line about writing songs about Ricky and laughing when she heard them. Instead, she sang, “I wrote some songs about Ricky / I’m trying to make him my last love.” At a July performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, she had used another variation: “I wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back.”

I wrote some songs about Ricky / I’m trying to make him my last love.

Grande and Alvarez were previously together from 2015 to 2016. Their relationship reportedly resumed in July, less than two months after Grande’s breakup with Ethan Slater, with whom she had been involved for about three years. A source cited by Page Six said Grande did not want to rush the relationship and that both preferred to move gradually around her professional commitments.

Grande made the relationship public on Instagram in August, posting photographs of them together while largely avoiding direct shots of their faces. The personal development came as she completed an especially demanding professional period. In early August, she announced plans to pause public appearances after the tour, and a representative told People that she wanted to rest after months of work and media exposure.

I wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back.
