Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez Celebrated Her 28th Birthday With Kisses on IG Story

Surprise: Ariana Grande is officially married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez after just over a year of dating.

In 2020, the singer said “Thank U, Next” to her past relationships and moved on following her high-profile romance with Pete Davidson. Though she kept her romance with Gomez hush-hush for months, she introduced him to the world in her “Stuck With U” music video before making things Instagram-official in June.

Let’s look back at their relationship history, starting with when they reportedly started dating at the beginning of the new year:

January 2020

According to People, the couple begin dating in January, but Grande wants to keep their relationship away from the spotlight after ending her engagement with the Saturday Night Live star in October 2018.

“They have been hanging out for a couple of months,” a source told the outlet. “Ariana doesn’t want to do another public relationship, so she is trying to keep this one quiet, but she seems very happy with Dalton.”

February 2020

The pop star and former dancer are first spotted together in February, with TMZ publishing a video of them kissing at Bar Louie in Northridge, California.

March 2020

The couple reportedly get closer while spending quarantine together at Grande’s Los Angeles home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Ariana is staying at home with friends. She is very serious about self-distancing and has been with the same group of people for days,” the source told People. “One of the people she is with right now is Dalton.”

At the time, fans also spot Gomez in Grande’s Instagram Stories.

The pair make their first official appearance in Grande’s “Stuck With U” music video with Justin Bieber. At the very end of the clip, the two engage in some sweet PDA while slow-dancing to the romantic ballad.

May 2021 

“They got married!” A rep for Grande shares the news with People on May 17. “It was tiny and intimate—less than 20 people,” the rep continued. “The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn’t be happier.”

On June 26, Grande turned 28 and seemed to celebrate with her husband and their…slinky? In a video posted to Instagram Stories on June 28 and captured by fan accounts, the pop star wears a plastic birthday tiara and hangs on her new husband while he dangles a plastic toy. He gives her a kiss on the head, and she wrote on the video, “thankful for so much love.” Aww.
