Ariana Grande and Ricky Álvarez Embrace London's Autumnal Charm

August 23, 2026Carlos Mendoza2 мин

Ariana Grande is currently gracing London with a significant 10-day residency as part of her "Eternal Sunshine" tour. A city she holds dear, Grande has brought her reunited beau, Ricky Álvarez, along to savor the final days of the British summer.

With the UK experiencing a noticeable drop in temperatures, both Grande and Álvarez were seen dressed warmly. Grande sported an oversized, off-white fuzzy cardigan from Amomento, paired with straight-leg blue jeans, white patent ballet flats from Sandy Liang, and vibrant red socks. Her accessories included round Loewe sunglasses and Irene Neuwirth gumball stud earrings. Her light brunette hair was neatly slicked back into a braided bun, adorned with a pale pink Alice headband. Álvarez, who was protectively seen with his arm around Grande, opted for a dark blue denim trucker jacket, loose-fitting beige trousers, white lace-up shoes, and a navy knit beanie, indicating the considerable chill in London.

The couple was spotted enjoying coffees at Present & Correct and browsing the shelves at IDEA Books in Soho.

While they may not have fully synchronized their couple's style just yet, their commitment to each other has been solidified with matching tattoos. During one of her initial London performances, Grande revealed the script "I do love you" on her collarbone, a sentiment echoed by a similar tattoo on Álvarez's collarbone.

Following months of speculation about their reunion, Grande had been subtly hinting at their renewed relationship. Álvarez, who previously served as a backup dancer on Grande's "Honeymoon" tour and dated her between 2015 and 2016, is famously referenced in her 2019 hit song "thank u, next" alongside other former partners. The lyrics, "wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh," have taken on new meaning as rumors of their rekindled romance gained traction. Álvarez was seen attending Grande's birthday concert in Austin, Texas, in June, and the pair were later spotted holding hands in New York City. Their public engagement continued with reciprocal comments on each other's social media posts. During a Brooklyn performance, Grande even altered the lyrics of "thank u, next" to "Wrote some songs about Ricky, we always find our way back."

Grande and Álvarez officially became Instagram official last week, sharing a series of mirror selfies that captured them in affectionate embraces.

With "Eternal Sunshine" tour dates extending into early September, Londoners can anticipate seeing more of Ariana Grande and Ricky Álvarez. Their continued presence in the city might include attending a West End show or enjoying dinner with friends. This public re-affirmation of their relationship is clearly far from over.
