Ariana Grande caught giving boyfriend Ricky Álvarez a passionate kiss during wrap-up for tour

She’s so into him.

Ariana Grande gave fans a glimpse of her romance with boyfriend Ricky Álvarez in a new video recapping her “Eternal Sunshine” tour.

Grande wrapped up the 41-show trek Tuesday with her final performance in London, before sharing a black-and-white montage from the run on Instagram Friday.

“this experience has meant more to me than words can possibly say … ‘i love you’ doesn’t begin to cover it. thank you. from the bottom of my heart. yours always, ariana,” the “7 rings” singer, 33, captioned the post.

Among the behind-the-scenes moments was a clip of Grande rehearsing onstage, when she leaned down toward the edge of the stage where Álvarez was taking photos of her, and the two shared a passionate kiss.

Grande appeared to hint at wanting to marry Álvarez when she altered the lyrics to “thank u, next” during her final concert, changing “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh” to “Wrote some songs about Ricky / I’m tryna make him my last.”

The “no tears left to cry” vocalist had previously fueled dating rumors with Álvarez through another lyric change.

During a July concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, she put a new spin on her 2018 hit, singing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky / We always find our way back.”

Grande and Álvarez, who briefly dated between 2015 and 2016, rekindled their romance in July, less than two months after her split from Ethan Slater, whom she had dated for three years.

“Ariana has rekindled things with Ricky, but she isn’t rushing back into the relationship,” a source told Page Six following their reunion. “She has a lot on her plate at the moment and is still incredibly busy with her tour schedule, so they’re taking things one step at a time.”

The pair later made things Instagram official in August, with Grande hard-launching their relationship on her account.

The “God is a woman” songstress shared several cozy snaps of the two together, keeping them framed from the neck down while keeping Álvarez in the photos.

Grande and Álvarez’s latest display of affection comes as the Grammy winner prepares to take some time away from the public eye.

Earlier last month, she announced that she would be taking a break from “public-facing work” after completing her “Eternal Sunshine” tour due to “endless ongoing public scrutiny” related to concerns over her weight.

Grande also announced that she would be pulling out of the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Sunday in the Park with George,” in which she was set to star opposite Jonathan Bailey, who has also since exited the production.

The “Wicked” actress is still expected to promote her upcoming film, “Focker-in-Law,” in which she plays Olivia Jones, the fiancée of Skyler Gisondo’s Henry Focker. The film is set to hit theaters on Nov. 25.
