The singer is taking a quieter approach to life in Los Angeles after wrapping up her Eternal Sunshine Tour and stepping back from public appearances.
Ariana Grande is embracing a quieter chapter in her life after completing her Eternal Sunshine Tour, spending quality time with boyfriend Ricky Alvarez in Los Angeles.
The singer and actress announced in June that she planned to take a brief break from the spotlight once her tour concluded, and a source has told Page Six that she is enjoying her downtime.
“Ariana is doing great,” the source said, adding that she is “in an amazing place” and “really happy”.
According to the insider, the Wicked star has been “laying low” in Los Angeles and making the most of her time away from public appearances.

With Halloween approaching, Grande is also getting into the festive spirit.
The source revealed that Alvarez’s family is currently in Los Angeles and that Grande, who has long enjoyed Halloween celebrations, is embracing the season.
“Ariana loves Halloween things, so she’s getting into the season,” the source reportedly said.
Grande and Alvarez were most recently seen together publicly on September 24, when the couple visited Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights in Los Angeles.
Grande and Ricky Alvarez rekindle romance
The couple’s renewed relationship has attracted considerable attention after they rekindled their romance earlier this year.
Grande and Alvarez first became romantically involved in 2013, when Alvarez worked as one of her dancers. Their relationship ended in 2016, before the pair eventually reconnected years later.
Their recent appearances together have fuelled interest in their relationship as Grande takes time away from her demanding professional schedule.
Singer takes break after Eternal Sunshine Tour
Grande’s decision to step back from public-facing work follows an extended period of intense public scrutiny.
Her spokesperson said during the summer that the singer would reduce her visibility after completing the Eternal Sunshine Tour.
The spokesperson said Grande was looking forward to finishing the tour “on a high note” before taking a “much-deserved break” from public-facing work and appearances.
The statement also referenced the “endless, ongoing public scrutiny” surrounding the star, indicating that her hiatus would give her an opportunity to spend more time away from the pressures of constant media attention.
Ariana Grande focuses on private time in LA
For now, Grande appears to be using her break to enjoy a more private routine in Los Angeles, surrounded by loved ones and embracing the Halloween season with Alvarez.
After months of touring and public appearances, the quieter period gives the singer an opportunity to focus on personal time before returning to her professional commitments.
