Ariana Grande claimed that she's single, but the new leaked photo is implying that she has a new boyfriend.
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, the 22-year-old singer posted a photo of her feet and a guy's feet - and they appeared to be leaning and kissing each other.
The "Bang Bang" hitmaker captioned the photo: "the sun is setting and you're right here by my side." However, she deleted the photo on Instagram after fans started giving out speculations on Ariana Grande's new boyfriend. Since the guy is clearly not Big Sean, then who could it be?
Many people assume that the mystery guy is Ricky Alvarez, who is the backup dancer of the pop princess. He was also the same guy that was seen during Ariana Grande's donut shop scandal a few months ago.
The brunette beauty gave two public apologies for her bad behavior at the donut shop, but she still allegedly feels bad about the incident.
Thankfully, her rumored boyfriend was there to keep her calm. "She hates the fallout, all the apologies she has to do, missing out on the All Star game, etc," an insider told Hollywood Life.
"It has put a strain on her relationship with Ricky because she's stressed about it, but he is trying to be a calming force for her. She hopes it goes away soon," their source added. Apart from the donut scandal where the dancer was seen kissing the singer, he was also her date during the VMAs and they had a PDA session two months ago.
While some fans believe that Ricky Alvarez was the guy in Ariana Grande's leaked photo, there were others who think it was Justin Bieber.
It is just strange that the songstress would delete the photo because she wasn't trying to hide her relationship with her backup dancer.
The "Problem" singer has been linked to the Canadian pop star early this year when he got handsy with her during her Los Angeles concert. Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber will reunite next year for a tour so the photo could be a teaser of their music collaboration.
