Who Is Ariana Grande's Ex-Husband? All About Dalton Gomez

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez married in 2021 and divorced two years later

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are officially divorced.

The dissolution of their marriage was settled in October 2023 after Grande filed for divorce the month prior — the former couple's divorce was finalized in March 2024.

Gomez and Grande were first linked in 2020 when the singer was spotted kissing a mystery man in Los Angeles, who was later confirmed to be the luxury real estate agent. In December 2020, the pair shared that they were engaged and, in May 2021, tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Montecito home.

​​"They're a great fit together," a source told PEOPLE following their nuptials. "Dalton's entirely unfazed by the scope of her celebrity and is very grounding for her. He's young but mature and knows what he wants out of life."

From their wedding day to their split, here's everything to know about Dalton Gomez and his two-year marriage to Ariana Grande.

He is a luxury real estate agent

Gomez is a L.A.-based real estate agent. Currently, he serves as director of the estates division for luxury real estate company Aaron Kirman Group where he works with A-list clients.

According to the company's website, Gomez has seven years of experience in the luxury real estate market and during his first three years in the business, served as the director of operations for Aaron Kirman Group, "running all day-to-day operations for one of the top luxury real estate teams in L.A."

He is from California

Gomez was born and raised in Southern California, though it is not clear exactly what town he is from.

He has celebrity friends

In 2017, Gomez shared a photo of himself hanging out with Miley Cyrus (among other friends) on his Instagram Story with the caption, "Hoodlums."

He had an Instagram account, though it has since been deleted

The real estate agent did have his own Instagram account, but he set it to private shortly after the news of his relationship with Grande was made public. His profile picture was a black-and-white photo of himself and Grande, and the singer followed him on social media.

On Valentine's Day 2023, Grande shared a glimpse into Gomez's social media account by reposting a photo he shared on his Instagram Story. In the picture, the couple posed with their arms around each other in front of lush greenery. Gomez captioned the snap with "My forever valentine," while Grande added, "i love you," in her repost.

He has a number of tattoos

Gomez has several large tattoos on his arms — some of which were done by his brother, tattoo artist Dakota Gomez. Dakota has shared the work he's done for his brother on his Instagram, which includes a trio of horses on his bicep and a Tibetan offering bowl on his forearm.

He and Grande were first spotted together in February 2020

PEOPLE confirmed the couple's relationship in March 2020. The month prior, TMZ reported that Grande was spotted kissing an unknown man near L.A., which the outlet later confirmed to be Gomez.

A source told PEOPLE that Grande and Gomez had been privately dating for about two months. A second insider said that the two were currently quarantining together at the singer's home in L.A.

"Ariana is staying at home with friends. She is very serious about self distancing and has been with the same group of people for days," the source said. "One of the people she is with right now is Dalton — they have been hanging out for a couple of months. Ariana doesn't want to do another public relationship so she is trying to keep this one quiet, but she seems very happy with Dalton."

He appeared in the music video for Grande and Justin Bieber's song "Stuck With U"

On May 8, 2020, Grande and Justin Bieber released their duet "Stuck With U" and accompanying music video, which was shot on an iPhone and featured clips from fans as well as fellow celebrities as they isolated at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just two months after their romance was confirmed, Gomez made a surprise cameo in the video, where he's seen hugging and dancing with Grande.

Bieber and Grande pledged that the proceeds from the single would go toward funding grants and scholarships for the children of first responders on the front lines of the pandemic through the First Responders Children's Foundation.

"I can't fully articulate ……… howwwww happy I am that we waited this long to do this (the duet thing)," Grande wrote on Instagram before the premiere. "This moment really means so much more than it ever could have if it had happened any other way or if it had been any other song. being able to lend our voices to this project and collaborating on this has been so fulfilling and I really just love this song so much."

He proposed to Grande in December 2020

On Dec. 20, 2020, after almost a year of dating, Grande announced her engagement to Gomez on Instagram. The post contained photos of the couple along with shots of her engagement ring, which features both an oval-shaped diamond and a pearl. "Forever n then some," Grande captioned the series of images.

At the time, a source told PEOPLE: "They couldn't be happier, they're just so excited. This is a happy time for them, both sets of parents are thrilled."

Some of the pair's famous friends shared their congratulations on Grande's post. "Congrats to these two amazing souls. Ari we love you and could not be happier for you. Dalton you are a lucky man," the singer's manager Scooter Braun commented.

"YAYYYYYY!!!!" added Hailey Bieber. "So happy for you guys!!"

He and Grande preferred to keep their relationship private

Because the couple first started spending time together while isolating during the pandemic, they were able to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, something that both Grande and Gomez continued to be mindful about during their marriage.

"Dalton is a great guy. He is very focused on work and low-key," an insider told PEOPLE after the couple's engagement in December 2020. "He likes keeping his relationship with Ari private. They have been able to get to know each other in peace."

"Ari's family is very happy. Everyone loves Dalton. He is great for Ari," the insider added. "This phase of her life has been very quiet and uneventful in a good way. They are very happy that she is marrying Dalton."

He married Grande on May 15, 2021

Two days after their wedding ceremony, it was revealed that Grande and Gomez (who were 27 and 25 at the time, respectively), had tied the knot.

​​"They got married," Grande's rep confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively on May 17, 2021. "It was tiny and intimate — less than 20 people. The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn't be happier."

The ceremony took place at the couple's home in Montecito, California. "Both Ari and Dalton love Montecito. They spend a lot of time there," a source told PEOPLE. "It seems only natural that they would get married at Ari's beautiful and historic house."

On May 26, Grande shared photos of their wedding day on Instagram. For the nuptials, the couple's home was filled with candles and white flowers, with Gomez in a Tom Ford suit and Grande in a custom Vera Wang gown. Grande's Instagram caption also confirmed that the official wedding date was May 15, 2021.

Gomez and Grande celebrated their second wedding anniversary in May 2023.

"2. (3.5 together!!!) I love him so," the pop star wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a throwback photo from the couple's nuptials.

He and Grande divorced in 2023

The exes settled the terms of their divorce in October 2023. Grande agreed to pay Gomez a lump sum of $1,250,000 and split the proceeds from the sale of their former L.A. home. As the Associated Press reported, their divorce was finalized in March 2024.

A source confirmed to PEOPLE in July 2023 that the pair had separated earlier in the year. In September 2023, Grande officially filed for divorce.

"Dalton's career is demanding and he can't leave Los Angeles often. So, when [Grande] started filming Wicked in England, they were in for a long-distance marriage," a source told PEOPLE as to why the couple called it quits.

The insider added: "Ari has nothing but kind words to say about Dalton. During their marriage, he was her No. 1 fan."

A week after the couple's split was made public, a source told PEOPLE that "Dalton is very religious and was committed to making it work, but Ariana had moved on."
