Following their separation a year ago, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have officially concluded their divorce, as confirmed by the Associated Press.
The Los Angeles Superior Court finalized the dissolution of their three-year marriage on Tuesday (March 19), six months after Grande, aged 30, filed for divorce from Gomez, aged 28.
Absence of children or notable legal contentions notwithstanding, the couple, who had a prenuptial agreement, finalized the terms of their divorce in October. Nonetheless, a six-month waiting period ensued before the court’s decree could be enacted.
As per reports, Ariana Grande is set to provide Gomez with a lump sum payment of $1.25 million, forego any future alimony obligations, and apportion half of the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles residence to Gomez, in addition to covering up to $25,000 of his legal expenses. Irreconcilable differences were cited as the grounds for their separation in the divorce petition.
Their alleged romance commenced in early 2020 but remained under wraps until May of that year when they publicly disclosed their engagement, accompanied by a collection of images, one highlighting Grande’s engagement ring. Their wedding took place five months afterward, in May 2021. Following their split, Grande has reportedly been romantically associated with her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater.
Meanwhile, Ariana Grande’s latest album, “Eternal Sunshine,” made a remarkable debut by clinching the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, underscoring her consistent success with a sixth consecutive chart-topping album. Simultaneously, all 12 tracks eligible for the charts from the album secured positions on the Hot 100, with “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)” leading the pack by debuting at No. 1.
