Ariana Grande and Ricky Álvarez are putting their tattooed hearts on display.
The couple—who first dated from 2015 to 2016—continued to flaunt their love on social media months after sparking rumors that they’d rekindled their romance.
Grande led her Nov. 2 Instagram carousel post with a photo of her lovingly embracing Álvarez as they made intimate eye contact with one another.
In the picture taken from below, the “Be Alright” singer stands on her tip-toes in an off-white raincoat, dark wide-legged pants and white kitten heels as she wraps her arms around her boyfriend. Meanwhile, he’s smiling in a beanie, green sweater and dark pants.
Grande also included a dimly-lit selfie in the dump in which she kisses Álvarez on the forehead as he closes his eyes.
The Fockers-In-Law star—who also showed off her new flipped bob hairdo in several pictures—first confirmed her reconciliation with the backup dancer by making it Instagram official back in August. However, changes that she’d made to the lyrics of her song “thank u, next” while performing it during her Eternal Sunshine tour throughout the summer were what first stoked rumors her and Álvarez’s friendship had once more blossomed into romance.

Ariana Grande Shares Hope Boyfriend Ricky Álvarez Is Her “Last” Love
Instead of singing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh,” the 33-year-old reworked the line into “Wrote some songs about Ricky / I’m tryna make him my last,” “And they still really slap,” “I know he still got my back” and, perhaps most tellingly, “We’ll always find our way back.”
The Oscar nominee—who split from Wickedcostar Ethan Slater earlier this year, E! News confirmed in June—further got fans talking when she shared a picture on her Instagram Stories Aug. 15 of a new script lettering tattoo on her collarbone that read “I do love you,” which Arianators realized matched has the same words tattooed on Álvarez’s collarbone (though his is in a different font).
And, actually, Álvarez included a photo of Grande’s tattoo in an Instagram dump of his own shared back on Sept. 26, which also featured a mirror selfie of the “Into You” singer giving him a kiss on the lips.
