Ariana Grande and her husband, real estate agent Dalton Gomez, officially moved to end their two-year marriage on Monday, according to multiple reports.
The βThank U, Nextβ singer filed a petition for divorce in Los Angeles, citing βirreconcilable differences,β CNN reported. Gomez filed a response in court shortly after, according to TMZ. The couple listed their date of separation as Feb. 20.
Grande, 30, and Gomez, 28, went public with their relationship in 2020 with the release of her song with Justin Bieber, βStuck with U,β CNN reported. Gomez appeared in the songβs music video, and the couple announced their engagement later that year.
In May 2021, Grande and Gomez wed in a small ceremony at her home in Montecito, California, USA Today reported. However, their relationship grew strained after restrictions put in place to stymie the spread of COVID-19 were lifted, according to Page Six. Gomez struggled under the constant paparazzi attention and had difficulty grappling with Grandeβs demanding schedule, the entertainment news site reported.
Their split has been amicable, and the couple had a pre-nuptial agreement in place, according to TMZ. Both Gomez and Grande have reportedly been seeing other people since their separation.
News of their separation surfaced in July, with an unidentified source telling People that they were βtaking their time together to slowly work through the details of the agreement privately.β
βTheyβve been really caring and respectful of one another through every step of this process,β the source added.
Previously, Grande was engaged to βSaturday Night Liveβ alum Pete Davidson. The pair called off their engagement in October 2018.
