Grande and Álvarez, 35, originally dated from 2015 to 2016 after meeting on tour but, according to various reports, later rekindled their romance earlier this year after taking time to slow down following respective past relationships.
After catching light of the photo dump, fans rushed to social media to share their reactions.
"So cute together omg," gushed one X user.
A second beamed: "We love that she’s showing him off hehe they’re SO cute."
"That's mama and dada," chirped another.
And a final X user echoed: "I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!"
A source has exclusively told PEOPLE that the pair are 'taking things very slowly' following their reunion.
"Ariana has always considered Ricky a friend," says the source. "She’s not held ill will against him [since their split]. Ricky is dependable, trustworthy and very supportive. Ariana feels she can be herself around Ricky."
The source added that Grande loves how 'funny' Alvarez is and that 'they have a similar, smart, dry sense of humour'.
"They’re not jumping into anything serious right away, but Ari is happy to have him back in her life," the source concluded.
Tyla has reached out to Ariana Grande's representatives for comment.
