Sep. 18 2023, Updated 1:53 p.m. ET
Ariana Grande and her estranged husband Dalton Gomez have filed for divorce weeks after announcing their split, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Grande hired powerhouse attorney Laura Wasser, who has repped Kim Kardashian, Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre, Johnny Depp and countless others, to handle the divorce. The singer cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
Dalton filed his response moments later. Sources said the two planned to file their paperwork at the same time.
Another insider said Grande had an “iron-clad” prenuptial agreement that she asked be enforced. However, sources told TMZ that Grande will write her ex a one-time lump sum.
The date of separation was listed as February 20, 2023. A source said the divorce took a while to be filed because “they’ve been really caring and respectful of one another every step of this process."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Grande hit it off with her co-star Ethan Slater filming the movie Wicked overseas. A couple of months later, the two broke off their respective marriages.
Sources close to Grande and Slater claim there was no overlap and neither cheated.
