Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez Officially and Simultaneously File ...
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are legally no more. According to a report by TMZ, both Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez simultaneously filed for divorce on Monday, September 18.
Per TMZ, Grande's lawyer Laura Wasser cited "irreconcilable differences" as the main reason for the divorce in her filings. The couple's official separation date is said to be February 20, but they reportedly took time to iron out the details to ensure an amicable split.
Speculation around Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez's split first started after the singer was spotted without her wedding ring, which Gomez famously designed, during a Wimbledon match in July. (Grande has been living in the U.K. for some time now while she films Wicked.) That same month, TMZ first reported that the couple had separated after two years of marriage, which we now know happened in February.
Soon after TMZ broke the news of the couple's separation, Grande reportedly wiped almost all pictures and mentions of Gomez from her Instagram page, including their wedding pictures and honeymoon snaps.

That same week, rumors of Grande dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater started swirling around, with confirmation that Slater had filed for divorce from his wife — with whom he shares a one-year-old baby — arriving shortly after. "Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship," a source told TMZ at the time.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez became engaged in late 2020. They then got married in May 2021 with a small and intimate ceremony, reportedly attended by fewer than 20 guests. It's still unclear when and how the pair met, but it is rumored that they were able to connect through mutual friends. "They run in the same circle," an anonymous source told E! News in 2020. “He used to be a dancer, and they have many mutual friends. She's gotten to know him quickly with the quarantine. They've been spending a lot of one-on-one time at home.”
