Ariana Grande and her estranged husband Dalton Gomez simultaneously filed for divorce on Tuesday.

Grande’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, cited “irreconcilable differences” in the filing, which was supported by Gomez’s lawyer, who filed shortly after, TMZ reports.

Interestingly, their date of separation was listed as February 20, 2023, some five months before their split became public.

Sources close to the couple told the media outlet that the 7 Rings songstress, 30, and Gomez, 28, worked out their assets before the couple officially called it quits.

When asked by TMZ why it took so long for the couple to file for divorce — Gomez and Grande made the announcement in July — the source claimed that “they’ve been really caring and respectful of one another every step of this process.”

Grande’s official split comes mere days after the Grammy winner showed support by “liking” a photo posted on Instagram by her co-star-turned-boyfriend Ethan Slater, 31.

The Tony-winning actor recently returned to social media following his own divorce from Lily Jay, with whom he shares a one-year-old son.

It was confirmed by Page Six in July that both Gomez and Grande had separated, with a source claiming “they came to the decision together.”

“They were having problems before January, but they want to remain best friends,” the source said.

Rumours of Grande’s separation from the luxury real estate agent began to swirl after she was spotted at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London without her wedding ring.

Days later, however, it was revealed that the Dangerous Woman hitmaker had been romantically involved with Slater, who was still married at the time.

Shortly after news of the relationship broke, Slater filed for divorce.

According to Page Six, Gomez attempted to reconcile his marriage with Grande by flying to London, where his wife was filming her upcoming blockbuster in January, but “it didn’t work out.”

“They’ve been really good friends throughout the entire process, and their friends and families have been trying to protect them,” a source shared.

Since the explosive revelation, the singer has been giving the Broadway star “space” as he attempts to “work things out” with his estranged wife.

According to TMZ, Slater and Jay, 30, have remained in contact daily regarding their child, with Slater “desperately” wanting to co-parent.

A Page Six insider revealed that Jay currently “only cares about protecting their child.”

“She’s rightfully upset because her marriage fell apart, but Ariana and Ethan didn’t do anything wrong,” added the source, claiming the duo had been separated for nearly two months before the news broke.

“Ethan is trying to take the high road and hopes he can resolve this situation for the sake of their child,” the insider concluded.
