How can we get over Ariana Grande's donut controversy when she decided to be in a relationship with her donut scandal partner? The 22-year-old pop star was reported to have been in romance with her back up dancer and donut buddy Ricky Alvarez. The two have been infamous since they walked into Wolfee Donuts in Cali and licked some of the goodies before the singer screamed "I hate America". The two have also been seen sharing a kiss after that prank, which makes everyone almost sure that the two are an item.
But nothing is official unless someone admits to it, right? Luckily for curious fans and gossip lovers, Ariana's friends are putting an end to the rumors. They are confirming that Ariana Grande is dating Ricky Alvarez.
"They couldn't be happier. She and Ricky have gotten pretty close and they are officially a couple. They are keeping their relationship on the down low though and trying to be as private as they can. The way the two act around each other is very affectionate. You can tell Ricky really cares about her."
Despite Ariana's negative controversy, it's still nice to know that she has found new love in the presence of Ricky. It's worth noting that this is Ariana's first boyfriend after she and Big Sean broke up. According to sources, the two broke up due to work and schedule barriers that affected their relationship.
Now fans can stop being curious as to what the real score is between Ariana and Ricky. People can't really be blamed for thinking that the two are having a romantic relationship, as they are always too sweet to each other while performing on stage night after night. Now, that chemistry starts to make sense.
So now everyone must move on from the donut issue and just be happy for the pop star for her success in career and happiness in love. Besides, she has already issued an apology for her behavior in the donut shop:
"I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my county. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words."
