(Scypre.com) – Ariana Grande officially initiated the process of divorcing her spouse, Dalton Gomez, by filing the necessary paperwork on Monday.
Following her filing, Dalton Gomez also took steps to dissolve their marriage and seek legal separation, a confirmation provided by Fox News Digital.
Both parties requested standard financial disclosures. Ariana Grande enlisted the services of attorney Laura Wasser, well-known for managing divorces in the realm of celebrities. Wasser is concurrently representing Kevin Costner in his divorce proceedings with Christine Baumgartner.
During the filming of the movie adaptation of Broadway’s “Wicked” in the United Kingdom, a project that has spanned several months, Ariana Grande, 30, found herself immersed in her work.
The extent of Dalton Gomez’s presence and involvement during her filming remains uncertain. Speculation arose about Grande being romantically linked to her “Wicked” co-star, Ethan Slater, who gained fame through his role in “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical.”
Ethan Slater was in a marriage with Lilly Jay, and they welcomed a child together in 2022. In July, Slater initiated divorce proceedings. Jay conveyed her perspective to Page Six, asserting that Grande wasn’t supportive of women, portraying her as the central figure while her family suffered as a consequence. This rumored relationship sparked varied reactions from fans and critics, with some expressing concern for Ariana Grande’s happiness and questioning the appropriateness of the alleged pairing.
Social media platforms buzzed with comments ranging from advising Grande to aim for better partners to making lighthearted connections with Slater’s previous role as SpongeBob.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez tied the knot during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2021, holding a private ceremony at their residence in Montecito, California. Their relationship began in January 2020 and swiftly progressed to an engagement by the year’s end.
The public became aware of their altered marital status when Ariana Grande was seen without her wedding ring at Wimbledon. A source disclosed to People magazine that the couple had separated earlier in the year, emphasizing their efforts to amicably navigate this transition while preserving their friendship.
