Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez Share Romantic PDA in New R.E.M Beauty Video
Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez shared their first real public glimpse since reuniting earlier this year, appearing together in a new promotional video for the singer’s R.E.M. Beauty brand on Saturday, November 7, geo.tv reported.
In the video posted to Instagram, Alvarez wore a beanie cap over his eyes while blindfolded and tried to guess various lip products based on kisses from Grande, according to dailymail.com. Alvarez used the challenge to ask for more kisses, telling Grande he needed extra samples to make an accurate guess.
The couple played a game titled “What’s on my lips?” featuring items such as Glossy Balm, Plumping Gloss, and Butter Lip Balm, dailymail.com noted. Alvarez correctly identified several products, correctly noting that a Glossy Balm followed a meal of spicy ramen because his pores felt open.
Fans pointed out a pet name used toward the end of the clip when Grande told Alvarez he did a good job, geo.tv stated. Thanks, ween,
Alvarez responded as the pair shared another kiss.
Grande and Alvarez first dated in 2016 when he worked as her backup dancer, splitting after a year before remaining close friends, geo.tv reported. Following Grande’s split from her Wicked costar Ethan Slater earlier this year, she and Alvarez rekindled their romance, with Grande confirming their reunion during her tour over the summer.
During the final show of her tour, Grande altered the lyrics of her song “Thank U, Next” to reference Alvarez, singing that they always find their way back and that she is trying to make him her last, according to geo.tv.
At the end of Saturday’s R.E.M. Beauty segment, Alvarez also previewed an unreleased Eclipse Cheek & Lip Stick flavor before encouraging viewers to shop the brand, dailymail.com reported.
