After some back and forth, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have reportedly decided to end their relationship just two years into their marriage. Over the weekend, the singer showed up at the Wimbledon finals with an incredible makeover, but what surprised everyone was that she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring.
After rumors swirled about what was going on with their marriage, news site Page Six confirmed that the celebrities had separated and were in the process of getting a divorce.
Why Did Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez Divorce?
According to the website, the decision was made by both. Since January, they started having recurring problems, but yes, for all that they have lived, “they want to remain best friends.” Although there are not many details of the reason for their breakup, we know that Dalton Gomez visited Ariana Grande on the set of the movie Wicked, in London, in a last attempt to save their marriage; unfortunately, it did not work.
“They’ve been very good friends throughout, and their friends and family have been trying to protect them,” Page Six noted. The biggest proof that the couple was already having problems is that the last time the singer was seen wearing her wedding ring was in April 2023 during Jeff Goldblum’s concert in London.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez: A Love Story?
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez met in early 2020. They started dating secretly and kept their relationship away from the cameras for the first few months. In May 2020, their relationship became public when they appeared together in Ariana’s music video, “Stuck with U,” and were no longer hiding to see each other. In addition, their interaction on social networks was greater and more recurrent.
In December 2020, Ariana announced her engagement to Dalton Gomez through a series of photos on Instagram, in which she showed off her engagement ring. Ariana and Dalton were married in an intimate ceremony in May 2021.
A Common Youth Love Story
It’s funny how times change. Some time ago, people used to think marriage was forever; nowadays, people don’t even think about marriage, let alone a family.
This, according to experts, is due to several things. The first is that women now have more of a voice, since some of our grandmothers were forced to be with someone no matter what, and since they were not allowed to work or fend for themselves, they had to put up with infidelity, violence, and more. Very few dared to stand up to it.
Another reason why young people no longer want to get married is fear. Some have had one or more bad love experiences and feel they can no longer trust anyone to spend the rest of their lives with them. At some point, something will happen, and the ‘fairy tale’ will end.
The lack of commitment is another. Now the game is played to see who is the one who does not fall in love. For many people, it is better to ‘try’ and see if works; if not, you’re free to try again… or not. All in all, most people don’t want to leave their bachelorhood to commit to someone else.
