Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of her new movie Focker-in-Law on Wednesday night.
The pop superstar and her former backup dancer made their first public appearance together at New York’s Beacon Theatre and put on a loved-up display, wrapping their arms around each other while posing for photographers on the red carpet.
The Thank U, Next singer wore an off-white and grey tartan-patterned ballgown with floral details, while Ricky wore a black blazer, white shirt and blue jeans.
The dancer teased their appearance on Instagram Stories by posting a selfie of the pair sitting in the back of a car. He wrote “Fockers” over the photo in a graffiti-style text and tagged the singer.
Ariana and Ricky, who originally dated between 2015 and 2016, sparked reconciliation rumours in June and made their relationship Instagram official in August.
The 33-year-old announced that month that she would take “a step back from visibility” following the conclusion of her Eternal Sunshine Tour in September, leaving many fans wondering if she would sit out of the Focker-in-Law press tour.
However, she has been involved in publicity alongside her co-stars Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro this week.
The New York premiere also featured appearances from Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson, Mike Myers, Beanie Feldstein, Keegan-Michael Key and Skyler Gisondo.
Focker-in-Law, the fourth film in the Meet the Parents franchise, will open in cinemas on 25 November.
