The Shocking Details of the $1.25 Million Divorce Settlement
The rapid and seemingly smooth finalization of the divorce, which occurred approximately six months after filing, was largely attributed to the couple's robust prenuptial agreement. The settlement details, made public in late 2024 and early 2025, revealed a clear financial arrangement designed to ensure a clean break for both parties.
The core of the settlement centered on a substantial, one-time payment from the pop star to her ex-husband. Grande agreed to pay Dalton Gomez a total of $1,250,000. This payment was stipulated as tax-free and was made without any provision for future spousal support or alimony.
In addition to the lump sum, the settlement addressed their shared assets, primarily their Los Angeles home. The agreement mandated that the proceeds from the sale of their shared residence would be split equally between them. Grande also agreed to cover up to $25,000 of Gomez’s legal fees related to the divorce proceedings.
The Iron-Clad Prenup and the Tell-All Ban
The existence of an "iron-clad" prenuptial agreement was the foundation of the amicable and swift divorce process. This pre-marriage contract clearly outlined the division of assets, protecting Grande's significant wealth and future earnings. Given her status as a global celebrity and the financial disparities between the two, the prenup was a crucial step in safeguarding her estate.
Perhaps the most intriguing clause in the settlement, and one that speaks to the desire for privacy, was the effective ban on a tell-all. Dalton Gomez is prohibited from giving any interviews, writing a book, or otherwise discussing the details of his relationship with Ariana Grande. This non-disclosure provision ensures that the private life of the couple, particularly the reasons for the breakdown of the marriage, remains confidential, offering a level of protection Grande has sought in the wake of previous public relationships.
The New Chapters: Ethan Slater and Maika Monroe
The end of the marriage quickly ushered in new, high-profile relationships for both Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, providing a fresh focus for the public and the media in 2025.
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater: The *Wicked* Romance
Ariana Grande’s new relationship with Broadway star Ethan Slater, her co-star in the upcoming *Wicked* film adaptation, became public shortly after the news of her split. Their connection reportedly blossomed during the filming of the movie in London. The relationship drew intense scrutiny, as both Grande and Slater were married at the time of their separation from their respective spouses (Slater was married to Lilly Jay, with whom he had a newborn). Despite the controversy and persistent breakup rumors, sources as late as November 2025 confirm that Grande and Slater are "still very much together," with some speculation even pointing toward a potential 2026 marriage.
Dalton Gomez and Maika Monroe: A Private New Start
Dalton Gomez has also moved on, stepping back into the public eye with actress Maika Monroe, known for her roles in films like *It Follows* and *Watcher*. The couple quietly made their relationship Instagram official, signaling a new, less celebrity-focused chapter for Gomez. This new pairing, while not as intensely scrutinized as Grande’s, confirms that the luxury real estate agent has found a new partner and is successfully navigating life post-divorce, keeping his professional life and new romance largely separate from the intense media spotlight.
The Legacy of "Eternal Sunshine"
Ariana Grande’s 2024 album, *Eternal Sunshine*, served as a powerful, artistic reflection on the dissolution of her marriage. The album is widely considered a concept piece about her divorce from Dalton Gomez, with fans and critics dissecting lyrics for references to the breakup, the struggle to move on, and the subsequent new relationship. Songs on the album and its deluxe version, *Brighter Days Ahead*, touch on themes of betrayal and the search for closure, confirming the emotional complexity behind the public split. The album, therefore, stands as the most public account of the end of the Grande-Gomez marriage, offering a narrative that the non-disclosure agreement prevents Dalton from ever challenging publicly.
