Ariana Grande Single Again; To Pay Ex-Husband $1.25 Million
The legal split between pop sensation Ariana Grande and real estate broker Dalton Gomez was formally concluded by a Los Angeles Superior Court judgment on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old Grande and 28-year-old Gomez ended their marriage when Grande agreed to make a one-time payment of $1.25 million to Gomez as spousal support, along with other terms outlined in their settlement.
The couple, whose relationship began in January 2020 amidst the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, tied the knot in May 2021 in a small ceremony at Grande's home in Montecito, California, according to BBC.
However, irreconcilable differences led to the filing of Ariana Grande's divorce six months ago.
