The divorce between US singer Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez is now official, after nearly three years of marriage.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judgment on Tuesday finalised the split between the 30-year-old pop star and the 28-year-old real estate broker.
Under their settlement, Grande will make a one-time payment of $1.25m (£980,000) to Mr Gomez.
Grande filed for divorce six months ago, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple's relationship began in January 2020 shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic, and they wed in a "tiny and intimate" ceremony at her home in Montecito, California, in May 2021.
In addition to the one-time payment, the settlement also awards Mr Gomez half the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home.
Grande will also pay up to $25,000 towards his lawyers' fees, and no future alimony.
The 30-year-old Wicked star unveiled Eternal Sunshine, her seventh album, on Friday (March 8), marking her first full-length since 2020’s Grammy-nominated Positions, which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Grande entered the Eternal Sunshine era back in January with the release of lead single “Yes, And?” That Max Martin-producer dancefloor-ready banger used house music to kiss off her haters and shimmy to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Five weeks later, Grande’s latest Hot 100 chart-topper — her eighth overall and sixth to debut in the pole position — received a remix from none other than Mariah Carey.
Three years of silence for a pop star at the height of her success is a long time, but this is how long it took for Ariana Grande to definitively return to the scene. In fact, Ariana hasn't released an unreleased song since Just Look Up with Kid Cudi (taken from the film Don't Look Up) in 2021 - in these three years just a couple of collaborative Christmas releases and the remix of Die For You by The Weeknd - and speaking of solo songs we need to go back to the deluxe edition of his latest album, Positions (and we're talking about 2020).
