Ariana Grande has made a significant move in her split from Dalton Gomez by removing their wedding photos from her social media accounts. Following the announcement of their breakup on Monday, July 17, fans promptly noticed the absence of pictures from their May 2021 marriage on Grande's Instagram feed.

Grande, 30, and Gomez, 27, were confirmed to have officially married in a cozy ceremony with fewer than 20 attendees. A representative for Grande, 30, described the atmosphere as filled with happiness and love, expressing the utmost joy from the couple and their families. A month prior to the wedding, an exclusive source had disclosed their intention for a small and intimate celebration, emphasizing the importance of waiting until it was safe to proceed amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Grande, initially associated with Gomez romantically in February 2020, subsequently posted photos on Instagram showcasing her wedding day, including images of her exquisite Vera Wang bridal gown. The refined silk dress showcased a deep back, empire waist, structured neckline, and a thigh-high slit in the skirt. Complementing the ensemble was a brief tulle veil adorned with a satin bow, a soft and natural makeup look by Ash Kohlm, and a half-up, half-down hairstyle created by Josh Liu. Notably, Grande chose to conceal her extensive arm tattoos for the event.

Grande adorned herself with a pair of diamond and pearl drop earrings as accessories. Interestingly, she chose to wear one of the two earrings upside down. According to Vogue's May 2021 article, this unconventional style holds a special meaning for Ariana. It symbolizes her appreciation for the lowest or "upside down" moments in her life and how they have shaped her into the person she is today.

In May, an exclusive source informed Us that Grande and Gomez were still in their blissful "honeymoon phase." However, recent revelations from another insider suggest that the couple has been facing difficulties for several months prior to their split. These unresolved issues were exacerbated by the physical distance between them, especially during Grande's filming of Wicked in London. As a result, they are currently not communicating and are living separately. A divorce seems likely.

According to another source, the couple's relationship was going smoothly until they encountered a difficult period a few months ago from which they have not been able to recover.

During a Wimbledon tennis match on Sunday, July 16, Grande noticeably did not wear her wedding ring. She sported a white baseball cap on her blonde hair, a look she has been seen with while filming the upcoming Wicked movies. She was seated between Wicked costar Jonathan Bailey and Andrew Garfield. On Tuesday, July 18, she was seen shopping in London with another castmate from Wicked, Cynthia Erivo, without her rock.

Now, after their separation, Grande is committed to moving forward, according to a third source who informed Us on Tuesday. "Although it is a sad situation, both parties agree that this is ultimately the right decision. Ariana and Dalton have distinct personalities."
