Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s love life has been in the spotlight since she was just a teenager. Most recently, she and her now ex-husband Dalton Gomez<\/strong><\/a> divorced in 2023. After two years of marriage, it was reported that the couple had split up<\/a> in July 2023. Shortly after their split, it was reported that the \u201cPositions\u201d singer was in a relationship<\/a> with her Wicked<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>co-star Ethan Slater<\/strong><\/a>, who filed for divorce<\/a> from his ex-wife\u00a0<\/a>Lilly Jay<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in July. As their romance has progressed, Ariana has seemingly addressed any critics of the romance with a rare public statement and her new song \u201cYes And?\u201d<\/p>\n Ariana\u2019s lawyer\u00a0Laura Wasser\u00a0<\/strong>reportedly filed paperwork first, and Dalton\u2019s people filed shortly after. Ariana\u2019s paperwork cited \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d as their reasoning. A source close to the situation told TMZ<\/em> that the singer would write her ex a check. On October 6, they settled the matter<\/a> with the Los Angeles Superior Court.<\/p>\n Before getting married, Ariana famously dated stars like Big Sean<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0Mac Miller<\/strong><\/a>, and was briefly engaged to\u00a0Pete Davidson<\/strong><\/a> in 2018. Here\u2019s a full history of her past relationships:<\/p>\n Ariana began dating Australian YouTube star\u00a0Jai Brooks<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>of The Janoskians in August 2012. They split in October 2013, after Jai took to Twitter to accuse the former Nickelodeon star of cheating on him\u00a0with\u00a0Nathan Sykes <\/strong>from British boy band The Wanted<\/strong>. \u201cYes I was cheated on. Yes it does suck,\u201d he wrote in a lengthy rant. \u201cYes I was left for another man.\u201d The \u201c7 Rings\u201d singer refuted his claims, accusing him of threatening her if she chose to break up with him. \u201cWoke up this morning in complete and utter shock \u2026I guess I shouldn\u2019t be so surprised. You said to me if I didn\u2019t come back to you, you\u2019d make me look bad to the entire world,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019m no longer afraid of you or your lies anymore.\u201d The couple rekindled their romance in May 2014 but ended things for good in August of that year.<\/p>\n One of Ari\u2019s first serious relationships was with rapper Big Sean<\/strong><\/a>. She confirmed their romance in October 2014, calling him \u201cone of the most amazing men in the whole world.\u201d Before Ariana, Sean was engaged to Glee <\/em><\/a>star Naya Rivera<\/a>, <\/strong>who alleged in her 2016 memoir that she found Ari at the rapper\u2019s home while\u00a0she<\/em> was still with him. Ariana and Big Sean called it quits eight months later in April 2015. Despite their relatively short lived romance, he got a shout out on her November 2018 single \u201cThank U, Next\u201d<\/a> when she sang: \u201cThought I\u2019d end up with Sean \/ But he wasn\u2019t a match.\u201d<\/p>\n Ari was first linked to her backup dancer Ricky Alvarez<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in the summer of 2015. They dated for about one year before calling it quits in July 2016. The pair have remained on good terms in the years since, and have even been spotted hanging out together. After Ariana sang, \u201cWrote some songs about Ricky \/ Now I listen and laugh\u201d on her single \u201cThank U, Next\u201d she jokingly wrote on social media, \u201cIM SORRY U GOT THE WORST LINE \u2026 IT WAS MEANT V LOVINGLY.\u201d<\/p>\n Ariana and the late rapper Mac Miller<\/a> <\/strong>first met when they collaborated on her single \u201cThe Way\u201d, and went on to date from 2016 to 2018. After calling it quits, Ariana took to Instagram, offering fans some context for the break up. \u201cI respect and adore him endlessly and am grateful to have him in my life in any form, at all times regardless of how our relationship changes or what the universe holds for each of us!\u201d The rapper also spoke out in July 2018, saying, \u201cI was in love with somebody. We were together for two years. We worked through good times, bad times, stress and everything else. And then it came to an end and we both moved on,\u201d he told Zane Lowe <\/strong>on Beats 1.<\/p>\n Tragically, Mac Miller passed away<\/a> in September 2018 as a result of mixed drug toxicity, and Ariana shared a moving tribute to him after his passing. \u201cI adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will.\u201d She also referenced him on her track \u201cThank U, Next,\u201d singing, \u201cWish I could say, \u2018Thank You\u2019 to Malcom \/ \u2018Cause he was an angel.\u201d<\/p>\n Who could forget Ariana\u2019s short-lived engagement to Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u00a0comedian\u00a0Pete Davidson<\/a><\/strong>? The couple was only dating for a few weeks in the summer of 2018 when she revealed Pete had popped the question. While things seemed blissful for a few months, they called off their engagement<\/a> in October of 2018. Pete later said he knew their relationship was over<\/a> after her ex Mac Miller\u2019s sudden passing. \u201cI pretty much knew it was around over after that. That was really horrible, and I can\u2019t imagine what that sh*t is like. All I do know is that she really loved the sh*t out of him, and she wasn\u2019t putting on a show or anything. That was f**ked up. Prayers to his family and all of his friends,\u201d he said in February 2020.<\/p>\n Even though their relationship may not have worked out the way they once thought, it\u2019s clear that there\u2019s no bad blood between Pete and Ariana, when the \u201cGod is a Woman\u201d singer gifted Pete\u2019s then-girlfriend<\/a>\u00a0Kim Kardashian<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>a package of her R.E.M. beauty collection in March 2022.<\/p>\n Dalton Gomez<\/strong><\/a> officially put a ring on it in 2020 and walked down the aisle<\/a> with Ariana in 2021. The couple are believed to have started dating in early 2020. Fans first noticed there was a mystery man in the background<\/a> of some of her Instagram stories while she was holed up at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. She later confirmed their relationship status by featuring him in her \u201cStuck with U\u201d<\/a> music video.<\/p>\n The couple then went from strength to strength, going on romantic getaways and packing on the PDA<\/a> in sweet social media snaps. After dating for less than one year, the \u201c7 Rings\u201d hitmaker took to Instagram on December 20, 2020 to reveal the happy news of their engagement. \u201cforever n then some,\u201d she captioned a post featuring a photo of her gorgeous engagement ring. The unique piece of jewelry was encrusted with a large diamond alongside a small pearl, which she showed off in a stunning mirror selfie.<\/p>\n On May 17, 2021, Ariana and Dalton made headlines for getting secretly married in a reportedly \u201cinformal\u201d wedding the weekend before. The former pair had a private and intimate wedding in Montecito, CA, and had less than 20 guests in attendance. The couple seemed incredibly happy together<\/a> after their wedding. They memorably had amazing Halloween costumes<\/a> in October 2021. In December 2022, Ariana moved to the U.K. to film the two-part\u00a0Wicked\u00a0<\/em>movies<\/a> and Dalton visited her<\/a> on the set several times. Everything seemed great with the couple\u2026until it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n On July 16, 2023, Ariana and Dalton sparked breakup rumors when Ariana didn\u2019t wear her wedding ring<\/a> to Wimbledon. The following day, news broke that the pair were getting divorced<\/a> after two years of marriage.\u00a0TMZ\u00a0<\/em><\/a>reported that the couple separated in January 2023 and tried to reconcile but \u201cfailed\u201d at doing so. Ariana and Dalton were reportedly having issues before the \u201cInto You\u201d singer moved to England to shoot Wicked<\/em>, TMZ claimed. The pair each filed for divorce in September 2023. The documents claimed their separation date was February 20.<\/p>\n On October 6, Page Six<\/em> <\/a>reported they\u2019d settled the matter<\/a>, with Ariana paying out a lump sum and providing security for the real estate agent. \u00a0\u201cAriana and Dalton really wanted to take care of each through all of this and make it as easy on one another as possible \u2014 which is why they really took their time with everything,\u201d an insider told the outlet.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have a strong mutual respect for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n Ariana is now linked to fellow Broadway star Ethan Slater<\/strong> <\/a>following her split from Dalton, PEOPLE<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reported on July 20, 2023. \u201cAriana and Dalton separated in January. She and Ethan recently began dating, and he is separated from his wife,\u201d a source told the publication. Ariana and Ethan are co-stars in the Wicked\u00a0<\/em>movie. It was reported that the co-stars bonded<\/a> over their respective splits.<\/a><\/p>\n Ethan is famous for starring in the SpongeBob SquarePants\u00a0<\/i>Broadway musical, which earned him a Tony Award nomination in 2018. Ethan was married to his high school sweetheart Lilly Jay\u00a0and they welcomed their first child together, a son, in 2022. It\u2019s unclear when Ethan and Lilly, who had been together\u00a0since 2012<\/a>, split \u2014 but on July 26, 2023, Ethan filed documents to end his marriage to her in New York City, according to a report by TMZ<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n While reflecting on the new year, Ariana appeared to reference her latest romance in a rare comment<\/a> on her Instagram Story. \u201cI have never felt more pride or joy or love while simultaneously feeling so deeply misunderstood by people who don\u2019t know me,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n The \u201c7 Rings\u201d singer has faced some criticism for the new relationship, but she brushed off any haters<\/a> in her track \u201cYes And?\u201d<\/a> from her long-awaited album Eternal Sunshine<\/em><\/a>. \u201cNo I won\u2019t hide underneath your own projections or change my most \/ authentic life. \u2026 Your business is yours and mine is mine \/ Why do you care so much whose d**k I ride,\u201d she sings in the second verse.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nJai Brooks<\/h2>\n
