Despite only being married since May 2021, music superstar Ariana Grande has decided to split from her first husband Dalton Gomez. According to Us Weekly, the pair split up in January 2023 but a source told TMZ of their separation in July 2023. Of course, many fans were surprised by Grande's swift engagement to the LA real estate agent after her highly publicized engagement with Pete Davidson.
Still, Dalton Gomez has been the focus of many of Grande's steamiest lyrics. On top of this, the secrecy of their romance was seemingly productive. At least when contrasted with the attention Grande's previous relationship received. Given the suddenness of it all, fans have been wondering what really happened. And a blind source told Deux Moi a story that got many thinking that Gomez could've cheated on her. Here's what we know for sure and what's a completely unproven rumor...
Did Dalton Gomez Cheat On Ariana Grande?
It's natural for fans to wonder if cheating had anything to do with a celebrity breakup. Especially when the stars are as young and hot as Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez. Their July 2023 separation announcement also came out of nowhere, suggesting that drama happened behind the scenes.
According to a blind source on Deux Moi, the source of this drama may have been Dalton Gomez seeing other women on the side. At least, this was the thinking before it was revealed that Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have been reportedly separated since January 2023, months before the source had an interesting encounter with the real estate agent.
Deux Moi's blind sources are almost never investigated. Meaning that they can spread a lot of phony information. However, they also get some leads that have been proven somewhat accurate. This includes Jeremy Allen White's separation from his wife Addison Timlin. This is because sources tend to come clean with some facts if they know that their identities won't be revealed.
Still, it's important to remember that the source that told Deux Moi that Dalton Gomez was "acting single" has not been vetted and therefore should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, the source's experience with Dalton Gomez at an unnamed Hollywood party caused a stir amongst Deux Moi's 1.9 million followers.
"So back in March [2023], I attended an event where there were a bunch of celebrities. Dalton was there, but he was being low-key (was wearing a hat, shades). He clearly didn't want to be recognized, but made it obvious with his disguise," the source wrote, according to Deux Moi.
The course continued by writing, "[Dalton Gomez] had girls literally SURROUNDING him. Not kidding. He had his own cabana with his friends, and he was not acting married."
This reportedly caused the source's "drunk" friend to do something about it on behalf of Ariana Grande.
"So my drunk friend wanted to call him out on it. She approached him, and said "Do you know who Ariana Grande is?" He literally said, "Never heard of her before." So my friend said, "well you should, that's your WIFE!!!" He literally saw a deer in headlights, got spooked that he got recognized/caught and practically ran out of the party."
The next morning, the source noticed that Dalton had deactivated his Instagram account. Although admits that she doesn't know if the incident had anything to do with it.
Since it was later revealed that Dalton Gomez and Ariana Grande had actually been separated since January 2023 and the blind item was said to have taken place in March 2023, it's possible that this happened. However, it's highly unlikely that this was proof Dalton Gomez cheated on Ariana Grande. They were separated after all. In actuality, it appears as though Gomez was actually trying to keep a low profile as to not reveal the secret that he and Grande were headed for divorce.
According to The Daily Mail, Dalton Gomez has been "back on the dating scene" for "months". A different source told the publication that there was absolutely "no cheating" going on between Gomez and Grande.
"Ariana and Dalton have nothing but respect for one another. They're still friends and want to remain that way moving forward. There was no cheating, no resentment between them, the marriage just simply didn't work out. These things happen," a source reportedly close to the couple said DailyMail.com.
Why Did Ariana Grande And Dalton Gomez Split Up?
At the time of this writing, little has been revealed about why exactly Ariana Grande and her husband Dalton Gomez split up. But, slowly but surely, some information ahs been revealed. According to Us Weekly, the pair had hit a rough patch in their marriage and were struggling to keep it together for months.
“Ariana and Dalton have been having some issues for months now. They were having issues before she left for Wicked filming [in London] that they couldn’t resolve, and the distance did not help. They haven’t been speaking and are separated, and a divorce is likely.," a source told Us Weekly.
Another source told ET that there had been multiple rough patches in their relationship leading up to this point and that Grande's friends were concerned with how things were going...
"Ariana and Dalton’s friends have always been concerned by their whirlwind romance and felt their relationship would ultimately be short-lived. Their relationship has been rocky at different points, and they’ve had trouble making time for each other with scheduling issues," the source said to ET.
The others claim that Grande's fame may have been a factor as it impacted Gomez's life. The distance between his home base in LA and hers all over the world may have also been a contributing factor. But at the time of this writing, we don't know precisely what led to the breakdown of the pop icon's relationship with the up-and-coming real estate mogul.
