Ariana, 30, and Dalton, 28, reportedly started dating in early 2020.

On May 15, 2021, the couple said "I do."
Ariana and Dalton are officially divorced.
It's official—as of March 19, 2024, Ariana and Dalton are no longer married. The former couple finalized their divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, the Associated Press reported. Although they settled in October 2023, Ariana and Dalton were required to wait six month for the judge's order to go into effect.
How much money is Ariana paying Dalton in the divorce settlement?
Ariana will pay her ex-husband $1.25 million with no future alimony, AP reported. On top of that, the singer will give Dalton half of the proceeds from selling their Los Angeles home. She will also pay up to $25,000 toward her ex's attorney fees.
Yes, they had a prenup.
As Page Six reported in September, Ariana and Dalton had a prenuptial agreement in place. The "Yes, And?" singer requested that the prenup be honored in her divorce filing, according to the publication. However, she made additional requests, including for miscellaneous jewelry to be considered separate property and assets.
Reportedly, Ariana and Dalton quietly split in July 2023.
In July 2023, sources reportedly told Us Weekly that Ariana and Dalton “have been having some issues for months now.”
The source explained: “They were having issues before she left for Wicked filming that they couldn’t resolve, and the distance did not help. They haven’t been speaking and are separated, and a divorce is likely."
They filed for divorce in September 2023, but listed their date of separation as February 20.
On September 18, Ariana filed for divorce from Dalton after two years of marriage, and Dalton filed a response immediately afterward, People reported. The former couple listed their date of separation as February 20, 2023.
Reportedly, Ariana and Dalton were "taking their time together to slowly work through the details of the agreement privately," a source told the publication. "They’ve been really caring and respectful of one another through every step of this process."
Ariana soon began dating 'Wicked' costar Ethan Slater around the time he filed for divorce from his wife.
On July 20, mere days after news of Ariana and Dalton's split, Page Six confirmed that Ariana and Ethan were a couple. Ethan filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, on July 26. And by early October, Ariana and Ethan were reportedly living together in New York.
