Ariana Grande and now ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, have officially finalized their divorce on Friday – just three weeks after the singer filed on September 18.
The Into You hitmaker, 30 – who was recently seen on a Disneyland trip with her new love and Wicked co-star Ethan Slater – quickly settled their divorce proceedings, as the pair had a prenup in place, reported TMZ.
According to the settlement, the real estate agent received a check from the Grammy winner – with the payment being worth a total of $1,250,000 and also tax-free.
The former couple will also split the ‘net proceeds’ when their Los Angeles home sells, and Grande will additionally pay $25k of Dalton’s attorney fees.
Despite the pair’s divorce being finalized, a source informed the entertainment tabloid that there is no bad blood between Ariana and Gomez – who tied the knot in 2021.
‘There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another,’ the insider expressed.
The former Nickelodeon star filed her divorce paperwork last month on September 18 – with Dalton also filing the same day.
In documents previously obtained by TMZ, Ariana’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, had cited the reason for their divorce as ‘irreconcilable differences’ with the date of separation listed as February 20, 2023.
Sources informed the outlet that all was ‘worked out’ between the former couple ‘before going to the courthouse’ and added the actress plans to ‘cut Dalton a check’ to officially dissolve the marriage.
The pair notably filed for divorce months after their listed date of separation, and an insider explained to TMZ that the reasoning was so that they could ‘iron out details and settle.’
According to the source, Grande and Gomez have ‘no hard feelings’ and added ‘they’ve been really caring and respectful of one another every step of this process.’
The Grammy winner and the real estate agent first began dating in January 2020 and the pair became engaged in December the same year.
In May 2021, the two said ‘I do’ during an intimate yet romantic wedding ceremony at her Montecito home. However, earlier this year in July, news of their shock split came to light.
A source close to the pair told DailyMail.com at the time of the breakup news that, ‘Ariana and Dalton have nothing but respect for one another. They’re still friends and want to remain that way moving forward.’
‘There was no cheating, no resentment between them, the marriage just simply didn’t work out. These things happen,’ the insider added.
According to Page Six, Dalton had flown out to London to visit Ariana – who had been filming the live adaptation of Wicked since December 2022 – in an attempt to repair their marriage but it ‘didn’t work out.’
Since their split, the songstress has been romantically linked to actor and her fellow Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater – who also filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, in July, leaving her ‘devastated.’
The two had initially tied the knot with Jay back in 2018 and were high school sweethearts. In August 2022, the pair welcomed their first baby together – a son.
While speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Lilly revealed that she has been looking on the positive side and putting her main focus on her baby boy after reportedly being ‘blindsided’ by the split.
‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,’ she explained. ‘This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.’
Earlier last month, a separate source informed DailyMail.com that both Ariana and Ethan are now living together as he prepares for the Broadway production of Spamalot.
A source recently told People that their romance was ‘blown out of proportion’ in the public eye and stated the pair ‘didn’t begin seeing each other until after both parties were separated, respectfully.’
Late last month, Ariana and Ethan were spotted enjoying a casual date together during a visit to Disneyland amid each of their respective divorces.
The Dangerous Woman songstress was seen strolling next to the Broadway star in photos shared by celebrity gossip page, DeuxMoi, on Instagram at the time.
In the snaps, the pair could be seen linking arms while dressing down for their night at the popular amusement park.
In a video also attached to the post, Ariana and Ethan were spotted walking closely together as they followed a guide through the busy park.
Shortly after their outing together, an insider told DailyMail.com that the pair are ‘really happy and good for each other’ and added that Grande’s ‘friends love’ Slater.
In regards to Ariana and Ethan’s visit to Disneyland, the source expressed, ‘They went with a big group of friends including Ariana’s mom and brother. They are really happy and really good for each other. All of her friends love him.’
While both Grande and Gomez have yet to publicly comment on their divorce finalization, the Side To Side singer was active on her Instagram page earlier Friday and shared a new post to her 380 million followers.
The beauty captioned the photo series by penning, ‘some from then, some from now.’
The first snap showed Ariana sitting on the floor as she gave a gentle hug to an adorable service dog.
The actress could be seen sporting a casual, all-black ensemble while her locks were tossed up into a simple bun.
She also included a snap of a desk that had a lit candle as well as a few different crystals placed on top.
Grande also shared other images of a few of her own dogs – including Myron, Toulouse and also Cinnamon.
During a past interview with Billboard, the actress opened up about adopting rescue dogs and stated, ‘I got involved with dog rescues by simply loving animals.’
‘Dogs are the most harmless, sweetest babes in the world. They show nothing but unconditional love, so they deserve that in return.’
