The pair were photographed leaving a Whole Foods on Saturday with grocery bags in hand, with Ricky helping carry the load to the car.

The outing came during Ari's three sold-out Eternal Sunshine Tour stops in nearby Sunrise, Florida.

Ariana kept it casual in light wash jeans, a grey zip-up, and her hair pulled into a bun with a pink headband, while Ricky wore dark wash jeans, a white collared shirt, sneakers, and a black baseball cap.

The two dated from 2015 to 2016 and have popped up together again recently, just weeks after Ari's reported split from Wicked co-star Ethan Slater went viral.

A source said there "is nothing romantic between Ariana and Ricky this time around," but fans can't help but wonder due to their more frequent sightings.

Fans have also pointed to a lyric swap during her recent shows, where instead of her usual "Thank U, Next" line about Ricky, she sang that he's "still got my back."
