The pair got back together a few months ago, after first dating over a decade ago.




Ariana Grande brought boyfriend Ricky Álvarez to the Focker-In-Law premiere on Nov. 11.



The Focker-In-Law world premiere wasn't just an opportunity for Ariana Grande to celebrate her latest movie; it was a chance to make her rekindled romance with Ricky Álvarez red carpet official.



The actor-singer, who has joined the Meet the Parents franchise for its fourth film, posed with Álvarez at the New York City event, their arms around one another's waists.



The couple's date night comes three months after Grande suggested that they were back together, months after her split from her Wicked costar Ethan Slater. An Aug. 12 Instagram carousel of images and videos included two photos of the pair with their arms around one another.



Grande appeared to acknowledge their relationship by tweaking her song lyrics during her Eternal Sunshine Tour shows this summer. While singing "Thank U, Next," at her last London show on Sep. 1, she changed the lyrics to "Wrote some songs about Ricky/I'm tryna make him my last."



The pair first dated from 2015 to 2016 after working together on Grande's Honeymoon Tour. After being photographed together a few times in 2015, they made their public debut as a couple at the Spotify Creators Party in February 2016. Grande told Billboard in May that same year that they were "happy."



In July 2016, Grande shared some cryptic messages about change on X, then Twitter, and their breakup was later confirmed to People.



Álvarez, a dancer, worked as a backup performer on the shows. According to People, he later launched his own media company, All Things Mean, where he creates photos and videos for brands including Nike, Adidas and Calvin Klein.



The premiere was the first red carpet event Grande has attended since January, when she attended the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and the AFI Awards luncheon. Her representative announced in August that she would be taking a break from public life, but it's unclear if that break has already begun. In September, People reported that Grande remains "committed" to promoting Focker-In-Law. The publication confirmed that Grande will continue to support her brand work throughout the break.



For the occasion, Grande wore a 90s dress from Badgley Mischka, which her stylist, Law Roach, told ExtraTV would be a fun nod to the movie franchise. "I saw it a while ago, and I just felt like it'll be so fun for this movie… it just reminds me of like the '90s or the early 2000s when the original came out. So, that's kind of like the story behind it." Meet the Parents came out in 2000, followed four years later by Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers hit theaters in 2010.



Now, 16 years after the last installment, the franchise is returning with Focker-In-Law, scheduled to arrive in theaters Nov. 25. The fourth movie reunites Ben Stiller as Gaylord "Greg" Focker and Robert De Niro as Jack Byrnes with familiar faces including Teri Polo (as Greg's wife Pam), Blythe Danner (as Jack's wife Dina) and Owen Wilson (as family friend Kevin Rawley).



Grande plays Olivia Jones, the girlfriend of Greg and Pam's son Henry, played by Superman actor Skyler Gisondo. Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Nov. 8, she said being cast in the franchise was "surreal."
