Inside Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’s divorce: from their lockdown love and unexpected split, to new romances with Ethan Slater and Maika Monroe, and a hefty US$1.25 million settlement
- Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez met in 2020, and got married the year after – but after the ‘God is a Woman’ singer went to the UK to film Wicked, they apparently started growing apart
- Grande has since started dating SpongeBob SquarePants actor Ethan Slater, while Gomez has a new romance with Maika Monroe, who was previously linked to Stranger Things’ Joe Keery
The phrase “till death do we part” no longer holds the same weight as it once did, apparently. We’ve seen it all before, through friends or family, but most notably in Hollywood – where short-lived marriages are probably most prevalent.
Britney Spears and Jason Alexander were husband and wife for a total of 55 hours, while Kim Kardashian infamously sealed the deal with Kris Humphries for just 72 days before splitting up.
Much to many fans’ dismay, the 30-year-old musical talent and her husband of two years, Dalton Gomez, 28, have officially divorced, as per People.
So, what happened and what are the exes doing now?
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’ happy beginnings
It was a lockdown kind of love. The couple were first spotted kissing in February 2020, during the Covid-19 era, as seen in photos obtained by TMZ, with People confirming their new relationship not long after.
Ari’s then-new BF, a property agent, made a cameo in Grande and Justin Bieber’s “Stuck With U” music video in May. The lovebirds seemed utterly smitten with one another for months, so when the “God is a Woman” singer shared pics of her engagement ring from Gomez, fans were ecstatic.
They got married in an intimate ceremony in May 2021.
