Los Angeles, California – Ariana Grande finalized her divorce settlement with ex-husband Dalton Gomez on Tuesday, six months after filing for divorce. The pop star initiated the divorce proceedings last September, with the couple having signed a prenuptial agreement, leading to no legal disputes during the past half-year.
According to the settlement agreement, Grande will make a one-time payment of $1,250,000 to Gomez, in addition to giving him half of the proceeds from their Los Angeles home’s sale and covering up to $25,000 for his attorneys’ fees. The couple had originally filed their settlement agreement with the court in October, but it only became official this week under California law.
Gomez and Grande began their relationship in early 2020 and tied the knot in a small ceremony at Grande’s Montecito home in 2021. Following their divorce, rumors emerged of Grande being romantically involved with Ethan Slater, her “Wicked” co-star with whom she attended the premiere of Broadway’s “Spamalot” at the St. James Theatre in New York City.
Grande and Slater’s relationship has become serious, with sources revealing that they support each other’s work and enjoy spending time together. As Grande focuses on her music career, releasing her seventh studio album “eternal sunshine,” she has urged fans not to send hateful messages to those around her based on the album’s content.
In a message on Instagram, Grande emphasized the love threaded throughout her music, asking fans to listen more closely and avoid spreading negativity. As she moves on from her divorce, Grande continues to prioritize her relationship with Slater, emphasizing the importance of love and support in her life.
Through her music and personal life, Grande remains a prominent figure in the entertainment world, navigating the complexities of love, relationships, and personal growth amidst public scrutiny.
