Ariana Grande, known for her song “No Tears Left to Cry,” has displayed a penchant for relationships since her time on the Nickelodeon show Victorious. From rapid-fire romances to heartbreaking experiences, the singer of “Positions” has demonstrated her capacity for deep affection and generosity.
While she has had a number of notable relationships, Ariana Grande’s romance with the late musician Mac Miller drew significant interest from her fans. They publicly began their relationship in August 2016 after collaborating on the popular song “The Way.” Ariana and Mac celebrated their mutual passion for music by often including each other in their songs, such as “Into You” and “My Favorite Part.”
Their relationship remained free from public controversy until their separation in May 2018, and even afterward, both individuals spoke nothing but positively about each other.
In her Instagram post announcing their breakup, she expressed her profound respect and affection for him, emphasizing her gratitude for his presence in her life in any capacity, regardless of the shifts in their relationship or the uncertainties of the future.
The artist known for “Self Care” passed away in September that year as a result of a combination of drugs. In November 2018, Ariana paid tribute to him in the lyrics of her popular song “Thank U, Next.”
In her song, she sings, “I wish I could express my gratitude to Malcom, because he was like an angel.”
Following her relationship with Mac, the future star of “Wicked” briefly became engaged to former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson. They went public with their relationship in May 2018 and became engaged just one month later.
As they were preparing to get married and had moved in together, Ariana and Pete decided to call off their engagement in October 2018.
The singer from Florida had a short-lived romance with Mikey Foster from the group Social House in June 2019, just before meeting her former husband, Dalton Gomez.
Ariana was spotted sharing a kiss with the real estate agent in February 2020, and this quickly resulted in an engagement ten months later. The former coach from “The Voice” pleasantly surprised her fans by sharing intimate photos of their wedding in May 2021, following their nuptials at their Montecito, California, residence.
Shortly after their wedding, Ariana and Dalton were already discussing the possibility of having children, as revealed by a source with exclusive insight. The insider expressed their love for kids and their eagerness to begin a family, stating that Ariana had always intended to become a young mother, and Dalton was wholeheartedly supportive of this plan.
Ariana and Dalton went their separate ways in early 2023, and various sources indicated that they were on the verge of divorcing around their second wedding anniversary.
As of the time of this publication, neither of them has publicly commented on their separation. Nevertheless, it was confirmed by Life & Style that both of them filed for divorce on September 18, 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

JAI BROOKS
The singer known for “7 Rings” commenced her relationship with Jai in August 2012, and their on-again, off-again romance was quite tumultuous. After their breakup in October 2013, the Australian native accused Ariana of being unfaithful and leaving him for Nathan Sykes.
Ariana responded to these accusations on Twitter, mentioning that she wasn’t surprised by Jai’s claims. She stated, “You told me that if I didn’t come back to you, you’d tarnish my reputation to the entire world. I’m no longer afraid of your lies.”
They reconciled in May 2014 but ultimately ended their relationship for good in August of the same year.
NATHAN SYKES
Despite Ariana’s denial of leaving Jai for Nathan, she had a romantic involvement with the musician from August to December 2013 following their collaboration on the song “Almost Is Never Enough.”
BIG SEAN
The rapper behind “Bounce Back” generated speculation about being in a relationship with Ariana for several months before they officially acknowledged their romantic involvement in October 2014.
During their relationship, Naya Rivera, the former fiancée of Big Sean and the late actress from Glee, recounted discovering Ariana at his residence while they were still a couple in her book “Sorry Not Sorry.”
They separated in April 2015 and reconnected for some meaningful interactions four years later. However, their interactions were strictly on a friendly basis.
In April 2019, a source informed that Ariana and Big Sean had maintained communication, but neither of them had any intentions of pursuing a serious or romantic relationship at that time.

The deceased musician frequently expressed his affection for Ariana, as evident in his September 2016 interview with People.
He stated, “We spent a lot of time together, and everything unfolded naturally. We have a strong bond when it comes to creating music — that’s something we always do. But she’s my closest and dearest friend in the world.”
PETE DAVIDSON
Even though their relationship didn’t lead to marriage, Pete and Ari got several matching tattoos during their time together.
In total, they had eight significant designs permanently tattooed on their bodies, which included a matching cloud and Pete’s name on Ari’s finger. Subsequently, they either had these tattoos concealed or removed.
DALTON GOMEZ
Ariana maintained a low profile regarding her marriage to Dalton and seldom discussed their relationship, even before they separated in 2023.
After the announcement of their breakup, an insider with exclusive information shared with Life & Style that the former pair had genuinely made an effort to resolve their differences.
“Unfortunately, their relationship simply wasn’t meant to be. Ariana and Dalton found themselves growing apart. They made an effort through therapy, but eventually, they decided not to prolong the inevitable,” explained the insider. They expressed a desire to remain friends.
Ariana’s attorney, Laura Wasser, officially filed for divorce on September 18, 2023. Dalton followed suit later the same day. The divorce was officially concluded on October 6, 2023, with Dalton receiving a one-time tax-free payment of $1,250,000 and half of the net proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home, which had a mortgage of $6 million. Additionally, Dalton was awarded $25,000 for his legal expenses, and neither he nor Ariana would be responsible for paying spousal support to the other.
As part of their agreement, Ariana and Dalton also made a commitment not to participate in or contribute to any form of media, including interviews, writing, appearances, or assisting in the creation of books, articles, interviews, programs, or any other type of content related to the other party.
ETHAN SLATER
Not long after the public learned of Ariana and Dalton’s separation in July 2023, various sources reported that the singer of “Thank U, Next” had developed a romantic connection with Ethan while they were working together on the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked.
Filming for the project commenced in the UK in December 2022, with Ariana taking on the role of Glinda and Ethan portraying Boq, who is the love interest of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose.
According to court records reviewed by In Touch, Ethan initiated a contested divorce from his high school sweetheart and wife of four years, Lilly Jay, on July 26. This happened just nine days after the news of Ariana’s marriage ending became public. The current status of the case is pending as of the time of this publication, and no specific reason has been disclosed regarding why the couple is seeking a divorce.
