‘You Kind Of Crave, When You Grow Up, The Happily Ever After.’ Ariana Grande Gets Candid About Her Divorce And The Reason Why She ‘Felt OK’ To Go There

As a long-time fan of Ariana Grande, I have always admired her ability to pour her heart and soul into her music, and her latest album “Eternal Sunshine” is no exception. The raw emotion and vulnerability that she displays in her songs are truly inspiring, especially when it comes to addressing the end of a relationship.

In July 2023, news broke that Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez were on the verge of divorce after being married for two years. These reports were later confirmed to be accurate, and their divorce was finalized in March 2024. Coincidentally, this same month also saw the release of Grande’s new album, titled Eternal Sunshine, which many critics labeled as a “divorce album.” Since then, Grande has been relatively open about the separation and shared her reasons for feeling comfortable to explore that theme in her music.

31-year-old Grammy winner Ariana Grande recently talked about her music and the media focus on her during an interview on The Zach Sang Show. In this discussion, the host inquired about which songs from her album “Eternal Sunshine” were the most difficult and effortless to compose. Among the hardest for Grande was the second track titled “bye,” where she expresses leaving a partner. She mentioned that it was tough to write because she didn’t want it to appear as a hostile message towards the other person.

In her conversation with Zach Sang on his podcast (some parts of which are available on YouTube), the singer refrained from mentioning her ex-spouse. Instead, she emotionally acknowledged her mother – who divorced the multitalented individual’s father when the singer was 8 – for providing her the courage to delve deeply into her own emotions through the track. As the actress who used to star on Nickelodeon put it:

The primary factor that made me comfortable venturing there was my mother’s influence, truthfully. As a child, you often yearn for what you don’t possess. Unfortunately, my parents divorced due to valid reasons, but they weren’t meant to be together. In the quest for happiness, we crave the perfect union, the “happily ever after.” The one person is supposed to be the one and only. Thus, we tend to disregard issues and hold onto this fantasy. This can lead to self-neglect, but my mom stands as a powerful exemplar of not succumbing to that.

Following the Swirl of Controversy Surrounding Their Romance, Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Share a Tender Moment on the Wicked Premiere’s Red Carpet.

Many rumors circulated about Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’s relationship following the first divorce announcement. At that time, sources said they had been apart for months prior to the filing. After their separation became official, news agencies obtained court records detailing aspects of their settlement. It was reported that Gomez, a real estate worker, received a one-time payment of $1.25 million from Grande, who also agreed to cover up to $25,000 of his legal costs. Moreover, Gomez was expected to get half the sale earnings from their Los Angeles home they jointly owned.

After the separation, reports claimed that Dalton Gomez was adapting to his new life following his marriage. At approximately the same period, Ariana Grande was romantically connected with her “Wicked” co-star, Ethan Slater. The rumors indicated that they may have started their relationship while both were still married, although it has since been clarified that they were separated from their partners at the time. More recently, Slater spoke publicly about falling in love with Grande and experiencing increased attention due to their relationship.

The actress who played Glinda chose to express her emotions about divorce through the movie “Eternal Sunshine,” demonstrating her readiness to expose herself artistically when it seems fitting. Furthermore, her mother appears to have influenced this openness as well. It’s unclear if the prominent figure will delve deeper into her past marriage in future works.
