i don't even blame her Imao
Ariana Grande kept her relationship with Ethan Slater noticeably private on social media, never making him a regular presence on her Instagram or sharing the kind of affectionate couple posts fans might have expected while they were together. Even as their relationship became widely known publicly, Ariana largely kept that part of her personal life away from her feed, with the two appearing together far more through public outings and events than through posts from Ariana herself. That's why fans are especially noticing the contrast now that she's sharing glimpses of Ricky Alvarez on Instagram, something that feels much more open compared with how private she was about Ethan throughout their relationship
