Ariana Grande, the renowned pop icon, has formally concluded her marriage with real estate tycoon Dalton Gomez. This announcement was verified by a court ruling this week, putting an end to their nearly three-year-long marital journey.
The power couple initially connected during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Their relationship seemed to thrive in the isolation, but as the world started to return to normal, their bond seemed to wane. Ariana’s celebrity status and the demands of her career reportedly overwhelmed Dalton, leading to their eventual separation.

Ariana initiated the process to legally dissolve their marriage in September 2023, eight months post their separation. The divorce proceedings were surprisingly swift, considering the celebrity status of the couple. Their prenuptial agreement and the absence of children greatly simplified the process.

As part of their agreement, Ariana transferred a single payment of $1,250,000 to Dalton and shared the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles residence. She also covered his legal fees, totaling $25,000.
Following their separation, Ariana has reportedly started seeing actor Ethan Slater in July 2023. The couple appears to be going strong, demonstrating Ariana’s resilience and capacity to move forward.
Dalton, too, seems to have moved on, proving that life does go on, even after the end of a high-profile marriage.
