Ariana Grande files for divorce from Dalton Gomez after 2 years of marriage

Ariana Grande, the 30-year-old pop sensation, has officially filed for divorce from Dalton Gomez, 28, following their two-year marriage. TMZ reported the news on Monday, September 18th, noting that Grande listed their date of separation as February 20th. Gomez promptly filed his response to the divorce.

Their marriage had been under scrutiny for some time. In July, photographers captured Grande watching a tennis match without her wedding ring while she was alongside Jonathan Bailey, her Wicked co-star. Sources revealed that they had been facing issues for several months.

The couple’s difficulties were exacerbated by long-distance during Grande’s filming of Wicked in London. While they had a promising start to their marriage in May 2021. Things took a rough turn earlier this year, and they couldn’t find a way to resolve their differences.

Will this be the new beginning?

Grande sparked romance rumors with another Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, 31, during the filming of the two-part movie musical. Slater filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, on July 26th, ending their 10-year relationship. Both Grande and Slater were separated from their respective spouses when their relationship began. And they’ve been trying to handle their newfound romance respectfully.

While it’s suggested that Grande and Slater may not have been as discreet as they should have been during Wicked’s production. Grande initially celebrated her engagement to Gomez with an Instagram post featuring a diamond and pearl ring. She captioned, “Forever n then some.”

Ariana Grande & Dalton Gomez – A unique love story

Before their separation, Grande and Gomez celebrated their two-year anniversary. Their love story was unique, with Gomez going above and beyond to meet Grande’s needs. They tied the knot in a small ceremony at Grande’s Montecito, California home in the spring following their engagement.

Prior to Gomez, Grande had relationships with Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, and a highly-publicized engagement to Pete Davidson. In an interview, Grande described her relationship with Davidson as “frivolous and fun,” a brief distraction from the challenges she faced in her personal life.

Before filing for divorce, Grande took to TikTok to address concerns about her appearance. Critics had commented on her looking “unhealthy” and “too skinny.” Grande shared that people were comparing her appearance to a period in her life when she had been on multiple antidepressants, drinking, eating poorly, and at her lowest point.

She emphasized that there are various ways to look healthy and beautiful and encouraged people to be kinder and more supportive of one another’s well-being.

As this chapter in Grande’s life comes to a close, her fans and followers will undoubtedly continue to support her journey, both personally and professionally.
