Ariana Grande embraces low-key life with beau Ricky Alvarez amid break from spotlight

After bidding farewell to fans on the Eternal Sunshine tour, Ariana Grande is spending quality time with her boyfriend Ricky Alvarez in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old singer and actress announced back in June that she will take a brief break from the spotlight after her tour ends.

Now, a source has told Page Six that “Ariana is doing great."

They continued, “She’s in an amazing place. She’s really happy.”

The tipster further shared that the Wicked star is “laying low” in LA and “enjoying her downtime.”

And as Halloween is just around the corner, she is preparing to enjoy the festivities.

“Ricky’s family is there and she loves Halloween things, so she’s getting into the season,” the tattler claimed.

Ariana and Ricky were last seen publicly on September 24 at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights.

For those unversed, Ariana and Ricky relit their romance earlier this year, a decade after they broke up in 2016.

As for Ariana's hiatus from the spotlight, it came after the public's backlash over this appearance.

Her spokesperson announced this past summer, “Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.

“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”
