Ariana Grande hinted Tuesday that she’s ready to settle down with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez during the final show of her Eternal Sunshine Tour at The O2 in London.
The singer, 33, rekindled her relationship with the former backup dancer, 35, who she previously dated from 2015 to 2016, in June.
During her tour she constantly changed the lyrics of her song Thank U, Next, in which she referred to her ex-boyfriends.
Although she normally sings, “I wrote a few songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh,” Grande has revised the line during her recent shows.
And on Tuesday she fueled marriage speculation when she changed it to: “I wrote a few songs about Ricky, I’m trying to make him my last.”
The Daily Mail has reached out to Grande’s representatives for comment.

And during her show on June 26, she changed the lyrics to: “I wrote a few songs about Ricky, I know he still has my back.” Alvarez sat next to her parents in the audience in the VIP section of the show.
She also changed the line during her June 24 show in Austin, singing, “I wrote some songs about Ricky, now they kinda hit.”
After a fan shared a video of the latest text change on X, social media exploded with excitement as one fan cheered, “THE MARRIAGE IS COMING.”
‘The wedding is coming soon!!’ someone else agreed.
“Oh RICKIANA END GAME,” another joked.
“From ‘now I’m listening and laughing’ to ‘I’m trying to make him my last’ in one tour,” someone else marveled.
“I know he’s about to propose,” another fan added.
Although some fans were less convinced, she said “that about Ethan and Dalton Chili,” referring to her ex-boyfriend Ethan Slater and her ex-husband Dalton Gomez.

“Ricky, go away, she’s bombing,” wrote yet another.
“How can people just jump relationships lmaoo.”
It comes after Grande appeared to get a tattoo in tribute to their new relationship.
The new ink – a collarbone tattoo that reads ‘I do love you’ – was spotted on her collarbone as she began her 10-day residency at the O2 last month.
It’s a design that’s almost identical to the tattoo Alvarez has; he has the same phrase inked next to his collarbone, but in a different design.
This comes shortly after she went Instagram official with Alvarez last month and shared loved-up photos.
She shared mirror selfies of them embracing and included in her post a close-up image of ‘I do love you’ written in blue marker in her diary.
He previously shared a selfie on Instagram with what appears to be the same tattoo in July 2025.
She previously dated her Wicked co-star Slater for three years. The couple announced their split earlier this year. In June, it was reported that Grande and Slater quietly called it quits several months earlier.

After her final performance on Tuesday, the singer, who is struggling with a foot injury, will take a planned career break ‘amid ongoing criticism’.
She recently sparked concern among fans with her Petal video, directed by Christian Breslauer, in which the Oscar-nominated actress looked alarmingly thin with her ribs visible on her chest.
Earlier this month, Ariana clarified that her career break was “quietly planned a long time ago,” before insisting the decision wasn’t made because “negativity was ruining things for me.”
Ariana explained on stage during one of her shows, “Multiple things can be true at the same time. Yes, boundaries must be set. People may need a break sometimes.”
She added that her tour, which she kicked off in North America in June, “will remain the greatest experience of my professional and creative life.”
Ariana’s departure from the spotlight means she has decided to leave her leading role in the London production of Sunday In The Park With George at the Barbican Center in summer 2027.
