Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are now officially divorced. A Los Angeles Superior Court judgment ended the couple’s almost three-year marriage on March 19. The ruling comes six months after they simultaneously filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.

According to court documents, the terms of their divorce state that Grande is required to pay Gomez $1,250,000 with no subsequent alimony, pay $25,000 of his legal fees, and hand over half the proceeds of the sale of their Los Angeles residence.

Reports of their marriage breakdown emerged in July 2023, after the Grammy winner was spotted attending the Wimbledon final in London without her engagement ring. An insider claimed to People at the time that they had separated earlier that year.

Another source claimed to TMZ that Grande and Gomez were “heading for divorce” after their relationship became long-distance. (Grande had temporarily relocated to London to film the big-screen adaptation of Wicked.)

The former couple began dating in January 2020 and announced their engagement 11 months later, in December 2020. They tied the knot in May 2021 in a small ceremony at their home in Montecito, California.

In July 2023, Grande reportedly began dating Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, who filed for divorce from his ex-wife, Lilly Jay, that same month.

After the release of Grande’s new album, Eternal Sunshine in March 2024, some fans speculated that the title track might reference her marriage to Dalton, with the lyrics, “I showed you all my demons, all my lies, yet you played me like Atari.” Grande later took to Instagram, asking fans not to send “hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album.”
