Ariana Grande has finalized her divorce from Dalton Gomez and the terms of their agreement have been revealed.
The singer, 30, and the real estate agent, 28, began dating in January 2020 and went public with their relationship in May of the same year, after Dalton appeared in the music video for Ariana and Justin Bieber's charity single 'Stuck With U' during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The pair announced that they were engaged on December 20, 2020, after 11 months of dating, and surprised the world by revealing that they got married on May 15, 2021, in an intimate ceremony at the Wicked star's home in Montecito, California.
While the couple got one of the most-liked Instagram posts for their wedding snaps, their union was short-lived, as just two years later in 2023 they announced that they were planning to divorce.
The couple filed for divorce in September 2023, and their divorce was finalized on March 19, 2024, with details of their agreement also having been revealed.
According to documents from Los Angeles Superior Court, obtained by the Associated Press, Ariana reportedly agreed to pay Dalton a one-off sum of $1,250,000 with no future alimony.
It was also agreed that Ariana will give Dalton half of the proceeds from the sale of the Los Angeles home they shared as well as paying up to $25,000 towards his attorney fees.
The couple had signed a pre-nuptial agreement ahead of their wedding and the terms of their settlement were agreed back in October 2023, though were required to wait six months before the judge's order could take effect.
Rumors of Ariana and Dalton's split began last summer, with reports stating that the couple were "heading towards divorce" after she was seen without her wedding ring at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London.
The pair allegedly tried to work things out a few months earlier but insiders claimed the couple had been "having problems" since before Ariana started work on the movie musical adaptation of Wicked in London.
Just days after news of their split broke, rumors began that Ariana was dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, with insiders stating that the pair did not begin seeing each other until after Ethan had split from his wife, Lilly Jay.
Ethan and Lilly had been married since 2018 and share a son together, who was born in August 2022, and Ethan later filed for divorce in New York City on July 26, 2023.
A source told People at the time: "Ariana and Dalton separated in January. She and Ethan recently began dating, and he is separated from his wife."
Since news of their relationship went public, Ariana and Ethan have kept their romance as private as possible but have been seen together multiple times in New York.
Ariana also addressed the controversy surrounding their relationship, saying in a recent interview on The Zach Sang Show: "The thing is that like, we know this about the tabloids and the media, [that they create their own narrative]. Like, am I crazy? Don’t we know this?”
"We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person. We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance. They don’t leave space for that - well, they do for their friends and their family, it’s selective. They turn it off when that aligns with the version of a person they have in their head that they want to believe is true."
