Source Reveals Why Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez Split After 2 Years of Marriage – Lifestyle Nigeria

Latest entertainment gist

The main reason why Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez union ended has been revealed.

According to reports, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’s relationship was hampered by distance.

Following the couple’s split announcement, a source tells PEOPLE that despite the singer and actress, 30, spending most of the year in the U.K. filming the Wicked adaptation, being apart did not make the heart grow fonder.

“She was happy in Los Angeles for a couple of years. She wanted to make a life there with Dalton,” the source tells PEOPLE exclusively on Monday.

“He is super focused on his career and needs to live in Los Angeles,” the insider notes of Gomez’s job as a luxury real estate agent. “It’s definitely been an issue for them. Dalton’s career is demanding and he can’t leave Los Angeles often. So when [Grande] started filming Wicked in England, they were in for a long-distance marriage.”

Although the marriage ultimately “didn’t work,” the insider claims that “Ari has nothing but kind words to say about Dalton. During their marriage, he was her No. 1 fan.”

On Monday, a different source told PEOPLE that the ex-couple had split up earlier this year and had since “been quietly and lovingly working on their friendship.”
The news was first reported by TMZ.

The Positions singer in London filming the Wicked movie was seen enjoying a day at Wimbledon without her wedding band or engagement ring over the weekend.

On Instagram, Grande posted a number of images and videos related to her experience.

“the blonde high pony !!!! i’m obsessed,” she captioned the post, which featured selfies alone and with Wicked costar Jonathan Bailey, outfit pictures, sunset moments, silly videos of Bailey running around the street and videos from the match.

Last August, Grande shared a makeup tutorial on TikTok where she wasn’t also wearing her ring — but shut rumors down immediately.

“I’m just not wearing my wedding ring, it’s getting cleaned. I’m not getting a divorce before you start, don’t,” she said at the time.

In January 2020, Grande and Gomez, both 27 years old, started dating. Eleven months later, they announced their engagement. Less than 20 guests attended the ex-couples’ private wedding at their Montecito, California, home.

??”They’re a great fit together,” a source told PEOPLE following their nuptials. “Dalton’s entirely unfazed by the scope of her celebrity and is very grounding for her. He’s young but mature and knows what he wants out of life.”

“My dad Wizkid is not the one begging for pussy” — Son

Latest entertainment gist

When it comes to savage responses, the Baloguns specifically those related to Wizkid by blood, are not to be trifled with and being Davido does not save you from such.

In a recent social media exchange, 13-year-old Boluwatife Balogun, the eldest son of renowned Nigerian artiste Wizkid, threw some savage response at his father’s rival, David Adeleke following their online spat.

Facing some online banter from a Davido fan, Boluwatife Balogun came to his father’s defense rather than keep mute.

The ongoing rivalry between Wizkid and Davido escalated in recent days, with both artistes engaging in public spats and trading insults online. Davido, responding to Wizkid’s jibes, took aim at Wizkid’s physical stature, claiming that Wizkid is so short that he wears size 7 shoes and jokingly suggesting he shops at Footlocker Kids.

Some individuals on social media supported Davido’s claims by sharing photos purportedly showing Wizkid wearing shoes matching his son Bolu’s shoe size.

Davido further escalated the feud by disparaging Wizkid’s music, boasting about his own hits, and challenging Wizkid to release new music simultaneously. He also ridiculed Wizkid’s height, suggesting that despite his own short stature, Wizkid is even shorter.

A Davido fan, seizing the opportunity to taunt Wizkid’s family, commented on Boluwatife Balogun’s TikTok page, asking if it was true that both Bolu and his father wear the same shoe size.

Bolu promptly responded to the taunt, defending his father by highlighting Wizkid’s character and integrity, asserting that despite any jokes about shoe sizes, his father doesn’t stoop to begging for attention or engaging in inappropriate behavior.
