Ricky Alvarez Allegedly Gets Handsy with Ariana Grande in Nyc (Oh, the Drama!)

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the return of the infamous duo! In a turn of events that has us all raising our eyebrows, that certain icon, Ariana Grande, was allegedly spotted getting rather cozy with her not-so-ex, Ricky Alvarez, in the heart of New York City. Let’s be real—this love story is like a soap opera we can’t stop binge-watching.

Paparazzi had their cameras at the ready and caught Ricky in the act of making a bold move. I mean, this man was allegedly grabbing a generous handful of Ariana’s backside while she stood on her tiptoes—talk about a visual that should have come with a warning! It’s as if he was declaring ownership in the most ridiculous fashion.

But don’t worry, our girl wasn’t just standing there like a statue. In a not-so-smooth multitasking effort, Ariana was also holding her adorable pup, Toulouse. Because why not juggle a dog while Ricky tries out his best impressions of a circus performer?

And that’s not all—after their scandalous sidewalk rendezvous, they were later spotted wandering through Central Park. Sources say they’re probably plotting their next big headline. Just months after her latest split from that other guy who shall not be named (thank you, next), Ariana is back in the embrace of this chaos agent, and honestly, we’re here for the hot mess that is their reunion. Fasten your seatbelts, folks; this ride is just getting warmed up!
