There was once a fairytale romance filled with hope and promise. Ariana Grande, the chart-topping pop princess, had found love with Dalton Gomez, a charming real estate agent. They kept their relationship quiet at first, but eventually went public in the most romantic of ways – a duet music video titled “Stuck With U” with Justin Bieber. By Christmas 2020, Dalton had gotten down on one knee and Ariana happily said yes. The picture-perfect wedding ceremony followed in May 2021 with just 20 close friends and family in attendance.
But alas, not all love stories have happy endings. After only two years of marriage, cracks began to show in the foundation. Sources claim the couple were facing problems as early as January 2023, though they tried to work through them. Dalton made a last-ditch effort to save their union, flying to London to visit Ariana on the set of “Wicked”. But the distance and difficulties proved too much to overcome.
While no cheating or resentment is alleged, the challenges of maintaining a marriage across careers, continents, and the demands of fame took their toll. Ariana quietly deleted her wedding photos from social media and was spotted ring-less, confirming what sources had long suspected – the divorce papers were likely not far behind.
However, on the set of “Wicked” in London, Ariana found a new source of hope and inspiration: her costar and now boyfriend Ethan Slater. Despite her divorce only just beginning, Ariana appears swept up in this fresh romance.
Their time rehearsing and performing has helped heal her broken heart, giving her something new and optimistic to look forward to. While her marriage to Dalton fades into memory, a charming new prince in Ethan has emerged, offering Ariana a second chance at true love’s bliss. Though still in early stages, this budding fairytale seems full of promise once more.
