Why Did Ariana Grande And Dalton Gomez Divorce?

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have legally ended their marriage after almost three years. A Los Angeles Superior Court officially finalized their divorce on Tuesday. The 30-year-old pop star and the 28-year-old real estate broker have now gone their separate ways.

Under the terms of their divorce settlement, Grande has agreed to pay Gomez a one-time amount of $1.25 million (£980,000). This payment settles any financial obligations between them. Grande will also cover up to $25,000 of Gomez’s legal fees. The agreement states that there will be no further alimony payments in the future.

Grande filed for divorce six months ago. She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their separation. According to court documents, the couple had been living apart for over a year before officially filing. They had a prenuptial agreement in place, which helped the legal process move quickly.

The couple’s relationship began in January 2020. They met just before the Covid-19 pandemic changed the world. Their romance grew during this time, and they decided to take the next step. In May 2021, they got married in an intimate ceremony at Grande’s home in Montecito, California. Only a small number of guests attended their wedding.

The Financial Agreement and Divorce Process

In addition to the one-time payment, Gomez will also receive half of the money from the sale of their Los Angeles home. Both Grande and Gomez agreed on the settlement terms without any legal battles. Since they do not have children together, the divorce process moved forward without complications.

Grande and Gomez wanted a respectful and smooth separation. Their legal teams ensured that everything was handled efficiently. Both have chosen to focus on their individual lives and careers moving forward.

How Their Relationship Began

Dalton Gomez is a successful real estate broker. He has worked in the luxury real estate market for over ten years. He grew up in Southern California and built a strong reputation in his field. His profile on the AKG website highlights his career achievements.

Grande and Gomez were first seen together in February 2020. They were spotted kissing at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Their relationship became public a few months later. In May 2020, they appeared together in the music video for “Stuck with U,” a song by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber.

Their romance progressed quickly. In December 2020, Grande announced their engagement in an Instagram post. She shared photos of her engagement ring and captioned the post, “Forever n then some.” Their engagement was a joyful moment for fans. Many people admired their relationship and celebrated their love.

Ariana Grande’s Career Continues to Grow

Ariana Grande has remained focused on her music and acting career. She recently released her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, on March 8. Fans were excited about her new music, and the album received positive reviews.

Grande has also been working on a major film project. She will star as Glinda in the upcoming movie adaptation of Wicked. This film is based on the popular Broadway musical. It will also feature Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. The movie is scheduled for release in November.

Grande has balanced her acting and music careers while going through her divorce. She continues to stay active in the entertainment industry and enjoys connecting with her fans.

The Reason for Their Separation

A source close to the couple shared that distance was a major factor in their breakup. Grande spent much of the year in the United Kingdom, filming Wicked. This created challenges in their relationship.

“Ariana was happy in Los Angeles for a couple of years. She wanted to build a life there with Dalton,” the source explained. “Dalton is very focused on his career. He needs to live in Los Angeles for his job in real estate. His career requires him to be in the city most of the time.”

The source added that the long-distance marriage became difficult for them. “When Ariana started filming Wicked in England, they had to deal with being apart for long periods. That made things harder.”

Even though their marriage did not work out, Grande only has kind words about Gomez. “During their marriage, he was her number one fan,” the source said.

Their Friendship After Divorce

Another source revealed that the two exes have stayed on good terms. They have been working on maintaining a positive friendship after their split. They separated earlier this year and respectfully handled their breakup.

Grande and Gomez wanted to avoid drama. They preferred to keep their personal matters private. They have been supportive of each other despite going their separate ways.

TMZ first reported the news of their separation. Fans noticed that Grande had stopped wearing her engagement ring and wedding band. She was seen without her rings while attending Wimbledon over the summer. She later shared photos and videos from the event on Instagram.

She posted several pictures with her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey. The post also included outfit pictures, sunset photos, and videos of Bailey running in the street. She captioned the post, “The blonde high pony!!!! I’m obsessed.” Fans noticed that she was not wearing her wedding ring in these photos.

Addressing Past Rumors

Grande previously addressed rumors about her marriage in August. She posted a makeup tutorial on TikTok, where she was also seen without her ring.

At the time, she quickly dismissed any speculation. “I’m just not wearing my wedding ring. It’s getting cleaned,” she said. “I’m not getting a divorce before you start, don’t.”

This statement was meant to stop false rumors. However, just a few months later, the couple officially announced their separation.

Their Love Story and Marriage

Grande and Gomez started dating in January 2020. Their relationship moved quickly, and they got engaged in November of that same year. They planned a private and simple wedding. Their ceremony took place at Grande’s home in Montecito, California, with fewer than 20 guests.

A source close to them described their bond as strong. “They’re a great match,” the source said. “Dalton never cared about her fame. He kept her grounded and was always very supportive. He is young but mature and knows what he wants in life.”

Their love story started with excitement and happiness. They had a special connection and shared many beautiful moments. However, their marriage eventually faced challenges. Distance, career demands, and lifestyle differences made it difficult for them to continue as a couple.

Moving Forward

Now that their divorce is final, both Grande and Gomez are focusing on their futures. Grande remains committed to her career in music and acting. She continues to work on new projects and connect with her audience.

Gomez is also moving forward with his life. He remains dedicated to his career in real estate. His work requires him to stay in Los Angeles, where he has built a successful business.

Though their relationship did not last, both have chosen to remain positive. They respect each other and appreciate the good times they shared. Their story reflects the reality that sometimes, even strong relationships face challenges that cannot be overcome.
