Ariana Grande Has Moved on … To Her Ex!

It looks like Ariana Grande has officially moved on from her recent boyfriend, SpongeBob aka Ethan Slater.

The pop star was recently photographed taking a stroll through a New York City park with ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, instantly setting off reunion rumors.

The photos looked almost too perfect, leading plenty of fans to wonder whether this was just an innocent walk or a conveniently timed paparazzi moment.

If Ariana and Ricky really are giving things another shot, it would fit a pattern she's openly acknowledged herself. In past interviews, Ariana has admitted she's spent virtually her entire adult life in relationships, rarely staying single for very long before moving on to someone new.

With her new music project dropping this month, a headline grabbing update to her love life certainly doesn't hurt when it comes to keeping her name in the entertainment news cycle.

Whether the photos were a genuine glimpse into her personal life or simply well-timed publicity, they've accomplished exactly what they were supposed to do; everyone's talking.

Maybe Ricky will help Ariana get some more meat on her bones, since her fans have been worried about how skinny she's been the last few months. Maybe Ethan was eating all her food...
