MPHO RANTAO
ARIANA Grande is now Mrs. Gomez.
The pop singer got married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, in her private home in California, surrounded by friends and family over the weekend.
In pictures released exclusively to Vogue Magazine, Grande is seen wearing a a custom lily white, silk charmeuse, empire-waist column gown accented with a sculpted neckline, an exposed bra-strap closure, and a plunging back. Her look was completed with minimal accessories and a bubble veil with a satin bow, while Dalton Gomez wore a black Tom Ford suit with a shite shirt and black slim tie.
American tabloid TMZ had first broken the news through sources that Grande married her fiancé in the suburb of Montecito, in a ceremony attended by no more than 20 people from both families. The sources also told TMZ that “the whole thing was very intimate and filled with a lot of love”.
According to TMZ, Grande and Gomez’s ceremony was anything but formal, with the couple saying their vows in their own, unplanned, manner.
“It was really just for them,” sources told. “It’s unclear how long they planned to do it this way — in other words, whether it was impulsive or not.”
Grande got engaged to Gomez before Christmas in 2020, after spending a lot of time together during the lockdown that occurred in the US due to covid-19. The two had begun dating early in 2020.
Grande’s Instagram has been full of images of the couple together, including photos of her engagement ring, chronicling their time together.
After the release of the images, Grande herself reacted to Vogue’s tweet with three white heart emojis, as her fans flooded the comments section with their messages.
Himika Roy wrote: “Congrats Ari!! So damn happy for yaa. Wish you a very happy married life Mrs. Ariana Grande Gomez. #ArianaGrande”
One of her fans, Miso, simply commented with: “It’s beautiful”, while another Twitter user
Prior to Vogue releasing the pictures, some fans had posted old images of Grande when she appeared on Nickelodeon show ‘iCarly’ as a guest character wearing a wedding dress and veil, in an attempt to imagine their favourite singer walking down the aisle, “holding hands with my mama” as sang in her hit single ‘Thank U, Next’.
One of those fans, Joseph tweeted: “Leaked photos of Ariana Grande the other night at her wedding”
Even UK fast-fashion brand Pretty Little Thing couldn’t stay away from the fun, writing: “EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK”
Grande’s marriage to Gomez comes less than three years after she was engaged to American comedian Pete Davidson, who dated very shortly before announcing their engagement to the public in 2018.
Grande and Davidson’s plans to marry were disrupted by the sudden death of Grande’s ex-boyfriend, rapper Mac Miller who died in 2018. The couple ultimately called the engagement off months later.
