29-year-old Ariana Grande is an American singer, and actress. A diva screen and superstar with two Grammy Awards (amid other big awards) to her name already.
Because she is a public figure, the ‘public’ has the right to know ‘all’ about her, including her marital choices.
Despite her beauty status and prominence, Ariana Grande is not the one to be denied ‘breakfast’ (a Nigerian slang for heartbreak) in the name of love.
She has suffered her ill fates before she eventually met Dalton Gomez, her boo and husband.
Who is he..How did it happen…When did it happen and others are what you will know.
Dalton Gomez, the man behind Ariana’s smiles is a real estate agent in Los Angeles where he works as director of the estates division for luxury real estate company Aaron Kirman Group.
Grande’s exes used to be one of the public figures in the entertainment industry – Nathan Sykes, Big Sean, Graham Phillips, Mac Miller, Ricky Alvarez and Pete Davidson which happened to be her most recent ex. But now she made a different decision.
Who met who first?
It is believed that the couple met while Grande needed a realtor to help secure a house for herself. An insider recalled the time and moment:
‘When she saw him, she immediately thought he was cute and very good-looking, and she asked her team to set up an in-person meeting with him.
Ariana fell very hard for Dalton shortly after they met.’
What Grande and Gomez have in common
The couple have more than one thing in common, and this greatly helps them to stand on a common ground with little or no difference.
Like Grande, he is a fan of tattoo. He has more than one body arts on his body, they were reportedly done by his brother who is a tattoo artist, Dakota Gomez.
Why Grande likes Gomez
Outside the feelings she feel for her, Grande reportedly called Gomez a ‘creative person’.
Grande was caught saying; ‘He (Gomez) is also a bit creative as well. He’s the one who came up with the video concept for my song “Positions.”
It was also confirmed that the California man helped jeweler Jack Solow design both the engagement ring and wedding band he gave Grande.
‘[Gomez] had very strong feelings about how he wanted [the engagement ring] to look, a contemporary kind of way,’ jeweler Solow later explained about the custom engagement ring.
‘It was his idea to do the diamond on an angle and he said to me we had to incorporate a pearl into the finished piece because it is very sentimentally special, the element of a pearl is very, very sentimentally special to Ariana. He wanted to include that in the ring.’
Meanwhile, Grande has tweeted years before she met Gomez that her grandmother once had a ring made for her that incorporated a pearl from her grandfather’s old tie pin; Grande’s “Nonna” dreamed the pearl would protect her.
So, Gomez was very particular to bringing Grande’s dream to pass.
When their rumour of dating flies
It was in February 2020 when the rumour of Grande kissing a mystery man in a bar blew up the internet.
Three months after, Grande and Justin Bieber released their duet “Stuck With U“. In the video was seen Gomez holding tight to Grande as they rocked in a flirtatious manner.
Then it is easy for the public to connect the dots even before Grande announced their relationship officially.
On Dec. 20, 2020
Grande took to Instagram to announce her engagement on this day with photos of her engagement ring – oval-shaped, diamond and a pearl just like Grande’s grandma dreamt it – just like Grande wanted it. Gomez made it happen!
This is after eleven months of dating.
The first decision they made together
The lovebirds opted against their relationship making rounds on social media but would keep it private.
The decision works out well for them while staying in isolation during the pandemic and they are still keeping up with the decision today.
‘Dalton is a great guy. He is very focused on work and low-key.
‘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.
‘This phase of her life has been very quiet and uneventful in a good way. They are very happy that she is marrying Dalton, an insider said after their engagement.
‘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,‘ another source said.
Marriage on May 15, 2021
Gomez walked Grande down the aisle at the age of 27 and 25 respectively in a private ceremony that is less than 20 people.
Grande’s home in Montecito is a special and historic place for her, so it is only logical that the wedding happened there for more beautiful memories.
Dalton Gomez Grande was born and bred in Southern California.
Ariana Grande’s husband’s net worth
As recent as 2022, Dalton Gomez’s net worth is estimated to be around $20 million. He has recently earned a hefty amount selling two houses for $12.5 million and $8.9 million.
Gomez’s huge fortune comes from working in the real estate industry for over seven years and his business dealings with A-list clients.
Does Ariana Grande have a ex-husband?
Ariana Grande’s marriage with Dalton Gomez is her first.
Pete Davidson was to move from her fiancé to husband when Mac Miller died, his death somehow spelled ‘the end’ to her relationship with Pete.
Despite getting engaged, their marriage was not meant to be.
In Pete’s interview with Charlamagne Tha God, he said he knew his relationship with her was over when the news broke that Mac Miller, Ariana’s ex-boyfriend had died.
“I was like, ‘Listen, I get it, do whatever you’ve got to do, I’ll be here.
‘“I think I said, ‘I’ll be here until you don’t want me to be here.
‘I pretty much knew it was around over after that. That was really horrible, and I can’t imagine what that s**t is like.
‘All I do know is that she really loved the s**t out of him, and she wasn’t putting on a show or anything,’ Pete said.
The pair called it off in October 2018.
