The Problem hitmaker was caught on camera kissing Ricky Alvarez at a doughnut shop in Lake Elsinore, California on Saturday (04Jul15), according to TMZ.com.

The pair, which is currently on a break from Grande's world tour, first hinted at a romance when they briefly smooched onstage during the singer's performance at New York Pride last month (Jun15), but it was not known if the act was part of the show.

Grande split from rapper Big Sean in April (15) after eight months of dating.
