Ariana Grande, 32, experienced in less than five years what others experience in twenty. 💍 She secretly married Dalton Gomez in 2021, in an intimate ceremony in Montecito with just 20 guests. Two years later, it was all over.
Then came the noise: her closeness with Cynthia Erivo during the promotion of Wicked made half the internet swear they were girlfriends, even though it never went beyond hugs and rumors. Then came the hardest part: her romance with Ethan Slater, her co-star, who at the time was still married and had a newborn baby. The backlash was huge.
But in 2026, after ending that relationship on good terms, Ariana did something no one expected: she changed a line from “thank u, next” in the middle of a concert to name Ricky Álvarez, her boyfriend from a decade ago. Shortly afterward, they confirmed they were giving it another try. Sometimes the love you’re looking for isn’t new; it’s the one you already knew. 🩷
