Ariana Grande and her husband Dalton Gomez have officially separated after two years of marriage. According to an exclusive insider, the couple has been facing difficulties for several months now. These issues existed prior to Ariana's departure for her filming of Wicked in London and were not resolved. The distance between them during this time only worsened the situation. As a result, they are currently not in contact and are living apart, with the likelihood of a divorce.
Grande's decision to remove her wedding ring at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 16, coincided with the update in their relationship.
According to another source, Ariana and Dalton enjoyed a successful relationship until earlier this year. "Since their marriage, Ariana and Dalton were extremely happy and content," the insider revealed. "Regrettably, they encountered some difficulties a few months ago, and they have been unable to overcome them."
Grande and Gomez made their relationship public in February 2020 and got engaged 10 months later.
According to a source, Ariana Grande is extremely thrilled and has found joy in getting to know and developing a deep affection for Dalton Gomez away from the public eye. This is something she didn't have the opportunity to do in her previous relationships. The source also revealed that they are deeply in love and fully committed to spending the rest of their lives together.
Four months later, in April 2020, another insider revealed that Grande and Gomez were deeply infatuated with each other and spent a majority of their time together. Gomez's doting nature and ability to bring joy to Grande were highlighted by the source. In addition, Ariana's loved ones all cherished Gomez and supported their relationship.
Following this, in May 2021, Grande and Gomez exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony that took place at her residence in Montecito, California. During this time, the room was filled with immense happiness and love as stated by Grande's representative. Both families, along with the couple, expressed their absolute bliss and contentment.
Grande was previously engaged to Pete Davidson from June 2018 to October 2018. Before they broke up, she expressed her desire to marry Davidson, 29, within five years and start a family with him.
"I want to have, like, three kids eventually," the singer of "God Is a Woman" mentioned in an interview with Beats 1's Ebro Darden. In a tweet from June 2018, she clarified that she was not ready to have children yet but referred to herself as a "fertile queen."
Grande's previous relationships with Big Sean (2014-2015) and the late rapper Mac Miller (2016-2018) were well-known. However, according to an exclusive source in August 2020, her current partner Dalton fulfills her needs in a way that her past partners did not.
The insider explained that Dalton possesses qualities that Grande has never seen before in her previous dating experiences. Unlike her exes, who she felt were demanding and had unreasonable expectations, Dalton is different. He is highly protective of her, goes out of his way to make her feel special, and performs small acts of chivalry. Dalton exceeds expectations to meet Grande's needs. Their relationship is deep and committed - they have fallen deeply in love with each other.
The source added that she and the Los Angeles native shared “similar values that she and her family have.”
