Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez's love story has come to an end. On July 17, TMZ and People both reported that the couple separated earlier this year after two years of marriage. Two months later, the pair filed for divorce, per court documents obtained by POPSUGAR.

Grande was first linked to Gomez at the beginning of 2020, and they got engaged after less than a year together later that December. The singer and real estate agent then got married on May 17, 2021, in front of less than 20 guests in an intimate ceremony at their home in Montecito, CA.

Throughout their relationship, the couple kept their romance relatively quiet compared to Grande's previous high-profile romances with the likes of Pete Davidson and Mac Miller, so fans are understandably surprised by the most recent development in their relationship — especially after it was reported that Grande has begun a new romance with her "Wicked" costar Ethan Slater amid his reported divorce from wife Lilly Jay.

Ahead, find a recap of Grande and Gomez's biggest relationship milestones, including what we know about their divorce.
