On the opening night of her London tour, Ariana Grande seemed to flaunt a mysterious new tattoo.<\/strong><\/p>\n Conjecture has arisen that the couple may have received identical designs prior to Ariana\u2019s 10-day residency, as the fresh inking is believed to mirror one recently spotted on her boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez. Ariana appeared to have the words \u201cI do love you\u201d tattooed across her collarbone as she took the stage for the first night of her Eternal Sunshine Tour\u2014her first tour in the UK since 2019. Reports indicate that Ricky has the same phrase tattooed on his chest.<\/p>\n The revived romance traces back to 2015, when Ricky served as one of Ariana\u2019s backup dancers. They made their final public appearance together in 2016 shortly before parting ways. Later, in her 2018 hit single \u201cThank U, Next,\u201d she referenced him with the line, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n Rumors of a reunion began circulating in June when Ricky was spotted at Ariana\u2019s birthday concert in Austin, Texas. During that performance, she altered the original lyric to \u201cI know he\u2019s still got my back.\u201d At a subsequent show in Brooklyn, she further fueled speculation by singing, \u201cWe always find our way back.\u201d<\/p>\n The couple appeared to confirm their reignited romance last week when Ariana posted two photos of them together in an Instagram carousel, tagging Ricky in both. It is believed the pair officially reconnected last month, with Ricky sharing his own Instagram carousel to seemingly formalize their relationship.<\/p>\n Ariana Grande has roughly 50 tattoos, including a matching \u201cFor Good\u201d design shared with Cynthia Erivo to commemorate their time filming Wicked<\/em>. Following fan concerns regarding her health after her recent \u201cPetal\u201d music video, Ariana stated last month that she would be stepping back from the spotlight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
