Ariana Grande and estate agent Dalton Gomez have officially divorced after nearly three years of marriage.
The Thank U, Next singer, 30, filed for divorce from 28-year-old Mr Gomez six months ago, according to court papers, after they tied the knot in a “tiny and intimate” ceremony in May 2021.
She cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
The divorce was officially signed off by a Los Angeles court on Tuesday and will see Grande make a one-off payment of $1.25m (£980,000) to Mr Gomez and half of the profits from the sale of their LA home.
The Grammy-winning pop star will also pay up to $25,000 (£19,000) towards his legal fees.
The pair began dating in 2020 and quarantined together during the COVID lockdown.
Mr Gomez also appeared with the singer in the lockdown video for her collaboration with Justin Bieber, Stuck With U.
In August 2021, Grande shared a number of photos on her Instagram page depicting domestic life with Mr Gomez.
One picture showed her cooking, and another showed the pair embracing in the kitchen.
But the couple separated more than a year ago.

Grande released her seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine, on 8 March.
The album, her first in three years, follows Positions in 2020.
Eternal Sunshine shot to the top of the UK charts, securing the singer her fifth number one album.
Fans will also see the singer return to acting later this year, playing the good witch Glinda alongside Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba in the two-part film adaptation of the stage musical Wicked.
The first of the two films is scheduled for release in November.
