Ariana Grande and her ex Ricky Alvarez spent the Fourth of July weekend together.
The former couple was photographed Saturday leaving a Whole Foods in Boca Raton, Florida, with grocery bags.
The singer cut a casual figure on Saturday in jeans and a hoodie with her hair pulled back in a bun.
Alvarez, for his part, paired his dark-wash denim with a white collared shirt, sneakers and a black baseball cap.
The backup dancer, who dated Grande between 2015 and 2016, helped the Grammy winner carry the bags and load up the back of a vehicle.
Grande’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The “Wicked” star and Alvarez, both 33, made headlines for hanging out in June, the same month news broke of the songwriter splitting from boyfriend Ethan Slater.
Photos circulated of the actress and Alvarez out to eat in Texas — but a source insisted to TMZ at the time that there “is nothing romantic between Ariana and Ricky this time around.”
Grande, notably, changed lyrics about Alvarez during a recent concert.
Instead of singing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh” during the June show in Austin, the “Victorious” alum gushed that he has “still got [her] back.”
Alvarez’s reaction was caught on camera at the time, as he proudly shook a friend’s hand.
When the song originally came out, Grande wrote via Instagram, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH IM SORRY YOU GOT THE WORST LINE @rickyrozay it was meant v lovingly.”
He and Grande, notably, have remained amicable over the years and were spotted together in January 2019.
After their short-lived romance, Grande moved on with Mac Miller, ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, Dalton Gomez — whom she was married to from 2021 to 2024 — and Slater.
We hear Grande and Slater, 34, split “several months” before news broke.
“They’ve remained friends since then and have nothing but respect and admiration for one another,” a source told us in June. “This wasn’t a decision they took lightly but realized they were better off friends than in a committed relationship.”
