TMZ reported that Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez were divorcing. According to sources, the couple just couldn’t make it work post-COVID and the level of Grande’s fame wasn’t something Gomez was at all prepared for. “When Covid restrictions lifted, we’re told their differences became alarmingly apparent. Dalton, an L.A. realtor, was taken aback by Ariana’s celebrity. He had not dealt with her schedule, the paparazzi and the various opportunities that took her out of L.A.,” TMZ reported. “We’re told Dalton would sometimes question why they needed to go around town with security, something that was a must for Ariana. Their differences started to make the marriage unravel, and it was greatly exacerbated when she went to England last December to begin filming Wicked.
he gossip site spoke to sources with insider knowledge of the couple, saying that they’ve been separated “since January” and while they tried to reconcile, they’re “heading for divorce.” According to TMZ, they’d been spending “miles apart” since December 2022 when she started filming Wicked but their sources say the problems started before that. Though, it appears they “remain friends” and “still talk on the phone regularly”. Apparently, Gomez has been dating since they separated and that’s been fine with Grande.
This lines up with what has been reported elsewhere. They apparently separated earlier this year and “have been quietly and lovingly working on their friendship” since, a source confirmed to People. Meanwhile, two sources told Us Weekly that their split had been coming for a while. “Ariana and Dalton have been having some issues for months now,” an insider said. “They were having issues before she left for Wicked filming [in London] that they couldn’t resolve, and the distance did not help. They haven’t been speaking and are separated, and a divorce is likely.” The second source said: “Things had been going really well for Ariana and Dalton since they got married. But unfortunately, they hit a rough patch a few months ago and haven’t been able to recover.”
Ariana Grande is reportedly dating Ethan Slater. Sources confirmed to multiple outlets that Grande and Slater were dating in late July 2023, and that both of them had separated from their marriage partners. “She and Ethan recently began dating, and he is separated from his wife,” a source told People.
Slater officially filed for divorce from his wife Lilly Jay on July 26, 2023, per TMZ. A source told Entertainment Tonight that Jay was “devastated” by the breakup. “This is not the future she had in mind,” the source said, “She’s doing her best to get back on her feet. She’s incredibly smart and driven” and “she is truly the best mother.” While another source told Page Six that Jay was “completely blindsided” by the relationship. “It’s horrible. They were high school sweethearts. They have a baby! She’s a wreck,” the source said.
