Ariana Grande appears to debut MATCHING tattoo with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez after hard launching their on-again romance

Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez's relationship goes further than skin deep.  

The songstress, 33, appears to have received a tattoo paying tribute to their on-again relationship. 

The new ink - a collarbone tattoo which reads 'I do love you' - was spotted on her collarbone as she kicked off her 10-day residency at the O2 on Saturday.

It's a design that is nearly identical to a tattoo Alvarez has; he has the same phrase inked beside his collarbone, but in a different design.  

This comes shortly after she went Instagram official with Alvarez and shared loved-up photos earlier this week. 

She shared mirror selfies of them embracing and, in her post, included a close-up image of 'I do love you' written in blue marker inside of her journal.

He previously shared a selfie on Instagram with what appears to be his same tattoo in July 2025. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Alvarez and representatives for Grande and for comment.  

Earlier this summer, Grande started hinting that she rekindling her romance with her former backup dancer, whom she dated from 2015 to 2016, by changing up specific lyrics from her past songs at her shows. 

She was previously in a relationship with her Wicked costar Ethan Slater for three years. 

The pair announced their breakup earlier this year. In June, it was reported that Grande and Slater quietly called it quits several months earlier. 

Grande was also married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, 31, for two years before they separated in early 2023. 

During her concert on Saturday, the first show of her London residency, Grande also said she feels 'overwhelmed' as she begins the final leg of her tour. 

'Hi London. Oh, this is so overwhelming. Holy s***. Every single show that we do, it gets louder,' she said in between songs. 'But this by the far the loudest.'

She later added: 'As you know, London is our final stop on this tour. I want to say, I'm going to savor every single second of these last ten shows with you guys, and this is one of my favorite places in the world.'

Two weeks earlier, she announced during her Chicago concert that she was stepping back from the spotlight to 'set boundaries.' 

Addressing her plans to withdraw from public life at the end of her concert tour in September, she told her fans that 'human beings need a break sometimes.' 

The pop star's schedule has been nonstop for the past five years as the star filmed both parts of Wicked, promoted the films, shot Focker-in-Law and released two albums, Eternal Sunshine and Petal, before beginning her tour. 

The announcement of her upcoming break has come amid a roiling online outcry over her new music video Petal, in which many fans expressed concern about her strikingly thin figure.

Prior to kicking off her London tour dates, Grande was said to to have prepared for her London tour dates by holing up in the Oxfordshire countryside with her boyfriend. 

Her secret countryside escape comes on the heels of reports she has been struggling to deal with 'ongoing scrutiny' over her appearance. 

She reportedly enjoyed a break at private members' club Soho Farmhouse with Alvarez prior to taking the stage over the weekend. 

According to The Sun, the songstress was spotted taking some downtime at the luxurious retreat, where she spent time at the spa relaxing before her shows. 

The couple appeared to have travelled on a first class commercial flight from New York to London with Ricky before heading for their countryside break. 

Grande will conclude her Eternal Sunshine Tour, her last one for a 'long, long time,' on September 1.

Afterwards, the star intends to take a hiatus amid ongoing scrutiny and fan concern about her health. 

It comes after a family insider exclusively told the Daily Mail that Grande's inner circle had 'begged' her to take a 'break' from her career. 

The hiatus entailed her departure from a planned West End revival of the classic Stephen Sondheim musical Sunday in the Park with George, which would have reunited her with her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey.
