Singer Ariana Grande has reportedly broken up with her boyfriend, backup dancer Ricky Alvarez.
The "Focus" hitmaker has called it quits with Alvarez after one year of dating, and it was amicable, said a source.
"She broke up with him. He didn't cheat or anything, they just found it difficult to make it work. They are still friends though," the source told eonline.com.
Grande had recently deleted all his photographs from her Instagram account.
The source added that the "Dangerous woman" hitmaker is "happy to be single".
Grande and Alvarez were first linked last summer. Prior to her relationship with Alvarez, the 23-year-old singer dated Big Sean for eight months before they broke up in April 2015.
