“I love you infinitely.”
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez Celebrated His 26th Birthday With a Kiss
Surprise: Ariana Grande is officially married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez after just over a year of dating.
In 2020, the singer said “Thank U, Next” to her past relationships and moved on following her high-profile romance with Pete Davidson. Though she kept her romance with Gomez hush-hush for months, she introduced him to the world in her “Stuck With U” music video before making things Instagram-official in June.
Let’s look back at their relationship history, starting with when they reportedly started dating at the beginning of the new year:
January 2020
According to People, the couple begin dating in January, but Grande wants to keep their relationship away from the spotlight after ending her engagement with the Saturday Night Live star in October 2018.
“They have been hanging out for a couple of months,” a source told the outlet. “Ariana doesn’t want to do another public relationship, so she is trying to keep this one quiet, but she seems very happy with Dalton.”
February 2020
The pop star and former dancer are first spotted together in February, with TMZ publishing a video of them kissing at Bar Louie in Northridge, California.
March 2020
The couple reportedly get closer while spending quarantine together at Grande’s Los Angeles home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Ariana is staying at home with friends. She is very serious about self-distancing and has been with the same group of people for days,” the source told People. “One of the people she is with right now is Dalton.”
At the time, fans also spot Gomez in Grande’s Instagram Stories.
