Ariana Grande, like many other celebrities, has had a series of public romances. First her relationship with rapper Big Sean, then her whirlwind romance with rapper Mac Miller, and then her famous engagement with comedian Pete Davidson. However, her relationship and subsequent marriage with luxury real estate agent Dalton Gomez have been especially low-profile. But who is this mystery man in Ariana’s life? We did a deep dive!

Ariana Grande And Dalton Gomez Relationship Timeline
Almost two years after breaking off her engagement with Pete in 2018, the singer and star of the upcoming Wicked movie was spotted kissing a mystery man in Los Angeles, who was later confirmed to be Dalton. And then in December 2020, an insider told PEOPLE that the couple had been dating since January 2020. Sources close to Ariana said that when the coronavirus crisis hit the U.S. in March, “she realized he is very special,” and followed Dalton back to Los Angeles when he returned for work.
“It was getting tricky for them to see each other, so she decided to take her chance,” the insider added. “She purchased a house in the Hollywood Hills in June and never looked back. They are incredibly happy.”

Then, in December 2020, the happy couple shared that they were engaged. They tied the knot in a private ceremony at their Montecito 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.”
A second source added of Dalton, “He is very hardworking and focused. He is low-key and doesn’t like attention. He isn’t impressed by celebrities. He is perfect for her.” Since their wedding, they have kept their relationship out of the public eye. Still, Dalton makes surprise appearances on Ariana’s Instagram.

Who Is Dalton Gomez?
Unlike Ariana (and most of her famous ex-boyfriends), Dalton does not work in the entertainment industry but is actually a Los Angeles real estate agent. At the moment, he works for the luxury real estate company Aaron Kirman Group where he is an agent for A-list clients.
The real estate agent does have his own Instagram account but it is set to private. Dalton’s profile picture is a black-and-white photo of himself and Grande. Plus, the “Side to Side” singer follows her husband on social media. On Valentine’s Day 2023, Ariana reposted a photo that Dalton shared on his Instagram Story. The romantic photo showed the couple hugging each other outside. Dalton captioned the snap, “My forever valentine,” while Grande added, “I love you!” in her repost.

The couple first started spending time together while isolating during the pandemic and they have continued to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. “Dalton is a great guy. He is very focused on work and low-key,” an insider told PEOPLE after the engagement in December 2020. “He likes keeping his relationship with Ari private. They have been able to get to know each other in peace. Ari’s family is very happy. Everyone loves Dalton. He is great for Ari. This phase of her life has been very quiet and uneventful in a good way. They are very happy that she is marrying Dalton.”
