Inside Ariana Grande’s life away from the spotlight in LA — and when fans can expect her to return
After a period out of the limelight, Ariana Grande is currently enjoying a quiet spell in Los Angeles with her boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez. A source exclusively shared that “Ariana is doing great,” adding, “She’s in an amazing place. She’s really happy.” The source further noted that she’s “laying low” in LA and “enjoying her downtime,” explaining, “Ricky’s family is there and she loves Halloween things, so she’s getting into the season.”
The couple was last seen on September 24 at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. Though they tried to remain incognito, with Grande wearing a baseball cap, they were spotted kissing at a table in a VIP section. Grande, 33, and Alvarez, 35, rekindled their romance this past summer after initially splitting in 2016.
Alvarez, who previously worked as a professional dancer for Grande, was occasionally photographed during Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” tour, which concluded in London this September. Before her 10-date stint overseas, Grande performed 41 dates across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The “Dangerous Woman” singer has maintained a busy schedule for several years, starring as Glinda in the silver screen adaptation of “Wicked” in 2024, followed by a world press tour that same year and again for the sequel in 2025. Shortly thereafter, she began rehearsals for her tour to promote her album.
