Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez finalized their divorce in October 2023, approximately one year after the couple separated. The dissolution of their marriage was confirmed by the Los Angeles Superior Court, ending a two-year union. While Grande has navigated the public interest surrounding her personal life through her music, she has not launched an "Eternal Sunshine tour" as of June 2024.
The Legal Conclusion of the Marriage
The marriage between Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez officially ended on October 6, 2023. According to court documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the couple cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the dissolution. The pair had been living separately since February 2023, according to reports from People.
The settlement terms were largely pre-determined by a prenuptial agreement, which expedited the legal process. Under the terms of the filing, Grande was required to make a single tax-free payment of $1,250,000 to Gomez in lieu of spousal support. Additionally, she was ordered to pay up to $25,000 toward his attorney fees and grant him half of the net proceeds from the sale of their former Los Angeles home.
Addressing Public Speculation
Grande has frequently addressed the complexities of her private life through her creative output rather than traditional public statements. Her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, released in March 2024, explores themes of heartbreak, healing, and personal growth.
While social media rumors have occasionally suggested Grande addressed her divorce during live performances, there is no verified record of an "Eternal Sunshine tour" opening on June 6. To date, Grande has focused on her role as Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu, which is scheduled for release in November 2024.

The timeline of Grande and Gomez’s relationship is documented through several key milestones:
