New details have emerged about the multi-million dollar divorce agreement between Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez, offering a closer look at how the former couple divided their assets and set the terms of their split.
Grande and Gomez reportedly brought their marriage to an official close last week, ending their union after two years as husband and wife.
The divorce settlement states that Ariana will not be legally single until March 19, 2024. The process is understood to have been relatively straightforward, helped by what has been described as a tightly written prenuptial agreement between the 30-year-old pop star and the 28-year-old luxury real estate agent.
Grande, whose fortune is estimated at around $240 million, has since moved on romantically with actor Ethan Slater. Gomez, meanwhile, was seen earlier this week kissing actress Maika Monroe.
Below is a breakdown of the key points in Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’s divorce settlement, from the sale of their $6 million Los Angeles property to the strict conditions attached to their agreement.

Tell-all book ban
Additionally, Dalton is prohibited from writing a tell-all book about their relationship or doing any interview about the ‘details of their marriage.’
Specifically, he cannot ‘give any interview, write, appear in connection with, or assist or cooperate in the preparation or presentation of any book, article, interview, program or other production or publication of any kind whatsoever concerning the other party.’

Documents state Ariana will keep her belongings including a painting by renowned artist Yoshitomo Nara.
Dalton also has a painting by the artist which he will keep.
Yoshitomo holds the record as the most expensive Japanese artist. The large scale painting Knife Behind Back (2000) sold in Hong Kong for HK$195.7m (US$25m), nearly five times its record.
In April 2021, the painting Frog Girl was sold in Spring auction for $12.5 million.
Court documents also reveal Ariana will keep any ‘earnings and accumulations at any time including prior to the parties’ marriage, during the parties’ marriage, and after the parties’ date of separation’.
Despite the pair’s divorce being finalised, a source informed the entertainment tabloid that there is no bad blood between Ariana and Gomez – who tied the knot in 2021.
‘There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another,’ the insider expressed.
Romance: Since their split, the songstress has been romantically linked her fellow Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater – who also filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, in July (pictured 2018)

The former Nickelodeon star filed her divorce paperwork last month on September 18 – with Dalton also filing the same day.
In documents previously obtained by TMZ, Ariana’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, had cited the reason for their divorce as ‘irreconcilable differences’ with the date of separation listed as February 20, 2023.
Sources informed the outlet that all was ‘worked out’ between the former couple ‘before going to the courthouse’ and added the actress plans to ‘cut Dalton a check’ to officially dissolve the marriage.
The pair notably filed for divorce months after their listed date of separation, and an insider explained to TMZ that the reasoning was so that they could ‘iron out details and settle.’
According to the source, Grande and Gomez have ‘no hard feelings’ and added ‘they’ve been really caring and respectful of one another every step of this process.’
The Grammy winner and the real estate agent first began dating in January 2020 and the pair became engaged in December the same year.
In May 2021, the two said ‘I do’ during an intimate yet romantic wedding ceremony at her Montecito home. However, earlier this year in July, news of their shock split came to light.
A source close to the pair told DailyMail.com at the time of the breakup news that, ‘Ariana and Dalton have nothing but respect for one another. They’re still friends and want to remain that way moving forward.’
‘There was no cheating, no resentment between them, the marriage just simply didn’t work out. These things happen,’ the insider added.
According to Page Six, Dalton had flown out to London to visit Ariana – who had been filming the live adaptation of Wicked since December 2022 – in an attempt to repair their marriage but it ‘didn’t work out.’
Since their split, the songstress has been romantically linked to actor and her fellow Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater – who also filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, in July, leaving her ‘devastated.’
The two had initially tied the knot with Jay back in 2018 and were high school sweethearts. In August 2022, the pair welcomed their first baby together – a son.
While speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Lilly revealed that she has been looking on the positive side and putting her main focus on her baby boy after reportedly being ‘blindsided’ by the split.
‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,’ she explained. ‘This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.’
Earlier last month, a separate source informed DailyMail.com that both Ariana and Ethan are now living together as he prepares for the Broadway production of Spamalot.
A source recently told People that their romance was ‘blown out of proportion’ in the public eye and stated the pair ‘didn’t begin seeing each other until after both parties were separated, respectfully.’
