A years-old dance video of Ricky Alvarez has found a new audience after reports surfaced that he and Ariana Grande have rekindled their relationship.
The clip, originally shared in 2023, has been circulating widely across X and other social media platforms in recent days, with gossip accounts pairing it with cheeky captions referencing the pair’s reported reunion. While some posts have sensationalized the footage with suggestive headlines, the video itself simply shows Alvarez demonstrating the dance skills that first helped launch his career.
Filmed inside what appears to be a home, the roughly 43-second vertical clip captures Alvarez performing a freestyle routine in a living room and kitchen area. Dressed in a black T-shirt, gray cargo-style pants and white socks, the dancer moves through a series of hip-hop-inspired combinations, including body rolls, floorwork, shoulder isolations and quick footwork before finishing with an energetic flourish.
The renewed attention comes just days after multiple outlets reported that Grande and Alvarez have reunited following the singer’s split from Ethan Slater earlier this year. According to published reports, the pair are approaching the relationship gradually after reconnecting.
Grande and Alvarez first dated in 2015 after meeting while he was a backup dancer on her Honeymoon Tour. Their relationship ended the following year, though they remained on good terms in the years that followed.
As news of the reported reunion spread, fans began resurfacing older photos and videos of the pair, including Alvarez’s dance clip. Social media reactions have largely been lighthearted, with users praising his performance background while joking about the timing of the video’s return to the spotlight.
Despite the click-driven captions accompanying many reposts, the video contains no explicit content. Instead, it showcases Alvarez’s athleticism and dance experience, qualities that made him a familiar face to Grande’s fans during her early touring years.
Neither Grande nor Alvarez has publicly commented on the resurfaced clip. However, its renewed popularity underscores how older social media posts often regain momentum when celebrities return to the headlines, particularly amid renewed interest in their personal lives.
