Ariana Grande Pays Dalton Gomez Million-Dollar Settlement To Finalize Divorce After Prenup Dispute

Highlights

• Ariana Grande had to make a million-dollar payment to settle her divorce with Dalton Gomez, despite having a prenuptial agreement.
• Court documents reveal that Ariana will pay her ex-husband $1.2 million tax-free and 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of their home.
• Both parties are prohibited from publicly sharing any photos or videos, conducting interviews, or writing articles about their relationship due to the privacy clause in their prenup.

Ariana Grande may have had a prenuptial agreement going into her marriage with Dalton Gomez, but that didn’t prevent the pop star from having to make a million-dollar payment in order to settle their divorce.

On Tuesday, October 10, court documents obtained by Us Weekly reveal the former couple had “disputes’ about the prenup before agreeing to the terms of their divorce. The publication notes that the pair eventually “reached a compromise,” allowing them to finalize the divorce, though it remains unclear what they disagreed on.

Court documents confirm that Ariana has agreed to pay her ex-husband $1.2 million tax-free as well as 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles residence. Additionally, the singer will be responsible for covering up to $25,000 of Dalton’s legal fees. As was agreed to in their prenup, no spousal support was granted.

The exes agreed that they’re each allowed to keep their personal effects. For Ariana, that includes her cars, jewelry, and an expensive painting by Yoshitomo Nara. They did, however, agree to split their home’s furniture and décor.

The million-dollar payment may be surprising, considering Ariana and Dalton had a prenup in place, but it pales in comparison to the singer’s total net worth. Ariana is currently valued at $240 million, while Dalton, who works as a real estate agent, has a reported net worth of $20 million.

Interestingly, fans shouldn’t expect to get more detail of Ariana and Dalton’s divorce, as their prenup also has a privacy clause. This forbids both parties from publicly sharing any photos or videos related to their relationship. They also can’t conduct any interviews or write books or articles about their time together.

Dalton and Ariana’s divorce has been a long time coming. The pair were rumored to have split this year, with sources confirming their break-up in July, when it was revealed Ariana was dating her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, who’s also going through a divorce from his wife currently.

Ariana and Ethan got backlash for the timelines of their relationship, with accusations of cheating being thrown around. Ethan’s estranged wife even threw not-so-subtle shade at Ariana.

The pop star eventually filed for divorce from Ethan in September, and despite alleged disputes of their prenup, the pair were able to quickly and quietly settle the terms of their divorce, though Ariana’s million-dollar payment likely helped.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Ariana had already moved Ethan into her million-dollar mansion. The pair are living together as he continues to navigate his divorce, which includes working out a custody arrangement for his infant son.
