@ibtimesuk: Ariana Grande has reportedly rekindled her relationship with former boyfriend Ricky Alvarez following her split from Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. Sources close to the singer said the pair are taking things slowly due to Grande's busy Eternal Sunshine Tour schedule but are enjoying spending time together again. Alvarez has reportedly remained close to Grande's family and has been supporting her throughout the tour. The romance rumors gained momentum after Grande and Alvarez were spotted together several times, including over the Fourth of July weekend, and after she changed the lyrics to "Thank U, Next" during a recent concert from "Now I listen and laugh" to "We always find our way back," prompting cheers from fans. Grande and Alvarez originally dated in 2015–2016 and have remained on good terms since their breakup. #ArianaGrande #RickyAlvarez #CelebrityNewsUpdate
