Finalizing the separation between the 30-year-old pop artist and the 28-year-old real estate broker, a Los Angeles Superior Court ruling was made on Tuesday.
Ariana Grande will give Mr. Gomez a one-time payment of $1.25 million (£980,000) as part of their settlement. Granted irreconcilable differences, Grande filed for divorce half a year ago.
Ariana Grande to pay ex-husband $1.25m in divorce settlement
Shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, the couple started dating in January 2020. In May 2021, they were married in a “tiny and intimate” ceremony at her Montecito, California, home.
Apart from the initial payment, Mr. Gomez will receive half of the profits from the sale of their Los Angeles residence as part of the settlement.
Ariana Grande will also pay up to $25,000 towards his lawyers’ fees, and no future alimony.
According to court papers, the two separated more than a year ago and had a prenuptial agreement in place. There were also no legal disputes, and they had no children, allowing the divorce to be finalised quickly.
Mr. Gomez, who was raised in southern California, has been working in the luxury real estate market for a decade, according to his profile on the AKG website.
He and Grande were first spotted kissing in February 2020 at a restaurant in Los Angeles.
In May of that year, they made their first public appearance together as a couple in the lockdown music video for Grande and Justin Bieber’s collaboration, Stuck With U.
That December, the pop star announced her engagement in an Instagram post, captioning it “Forever and then some.”.
Ariana Grande, a two-time Grammy Award winner, released her seventh studio album, titled Eternal Sunshine, on March 8.
Ariana Grande will also be starring in the film adaptation of the musical Wicked, as the good witch Glinda, along with English Tony Award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo, Oscar-winning Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh, and US actor Jeff Goldblum.
The film is scheduled to be released in November.
In 2017, a terrorist detonated a suicide bomb following a Grande performance at the Manchester Arena in the UK, killing 22 people.
