5 Things to Know About Ariana Grande’s Ex-Husband – Hollywood Life
Dalton Gomez and Ariana Grande got married in May 2021, but they decided to go their separate ways two years later. The former couple both filed paperwork for their divorce in September 2023, according to a report from TMZ. The “thank u, next” singer’s attorney Laura Wasser was the first to file paperwork, citing “irreconcilable differences,” and Dalton’s lawyers filed shortly after.
Before filing the paperwork, Ariana and her hubby separated in February 2023 and news of their split broke in July 2023. TMZ reported that they tried to reconcile their marriage but “failed” at doing so. The publication also claimed that Ariana and Dalton had issues in their relationship before Ariana moved to the U.K. in December 2022 to shoot Wicked. Ariana and Dalton sparked breakup rumors when the singer didn’t wear her wedding ring to Wimbledon on July 16.
Neither Dalton nor Ariana has publicly commented on their split, but shortly after their split was first reported, the singer made headlines when it was reported that she was dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater. The actor filed for divorce from his wife Lilly Jay in July 2023. Neither of the co-stars has publicly commented on their reported romance. However, in March 2024, Ariana released her album Eternal Sunshine, which includes songs that seemingly point to an ex-lover who was unfaithful to her.
After Dalton popped the question to Ariana in December 2020, they officially became husband and wife in May 2021, her rep confirmed to Hollywood Life at the time. They privately tied the knot at Ariana’s home in Montecito, California. Following the unfortunate news of the couple’s split, here’s everything you need to know about Dalton.
