American singer-songwriter Ariana Grande has finalized her divorce from real estate broker Dalton Gomez, with the settlement agreement stipulating that she will pay spousal support to him.
The agreement, which took effect in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday, comes six months after Grande initiated the divorce proceedings on September 18. As part of the settlement, the 30-year-old singer will pay $1.25 million to her 28-year-old ex-husband, give him half of the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home, and cover up to $25,000 in his attorneys’ fees. There will be no future alimony payments.
The couple’s divorce had been the subject of rumors circulating on the internet in recent months. Ariana’s solo appearance at the Wimbledon men’s singles final without her wedding ring further fueled speculation, and Page Six confirmed on Monday that their marriage had indeed ended.
Court documents revealed that they had a prenuptial agreement, no children, and no significant legal disputes, leading to a swift resolution in the court system.
The terms of their settlement were agreed upon in October, and with the required six-month waiting period completed, the judge’s order could take effect.
Ariana Grande, with an estimated net worth of $240 million, separated from Dalton Gomez two years after their secret wedding.
It is worth noting that Grande started her career at 15 in the Broadway musical “13” (2008). She gained fame for her role as Cat Valentine in Nickelodeon’s “Victorious” (2010–2013) and its spin-off “Sam & Cat” (2013-2014). She signed with Republic Records in 2011. Her debut album, “Yours Truly” (2013), featured retro-pop and R&B, including the hit single “The Way”.
Her second album, “My Everything” (2014), explored EDM and produced hits like “Problem”, “Break Free”, and “Bang Bang”, propelling her to global stardom. Grande continued to blend pop and R&B in her third album, “Dangerous Woman” (2016), solidifying her success both critically and commercially.
