See Ariana Grande’s Dating History of the Men She’s Loved and Lost: Inside Her Engagements, Romances

Graham Phillips

Ariana experienced young love at 15 years old with Graham from 2012 to 2015 after they met while starring on Broadway in 13: The Musical.

Jai Brooks

The “7 Rings” songstress started dating Jai in August 2012 and had a messy on-again, off-again relationship. Following their October 2013 breakup, the Australia native accused Ariana of cheating on him and leaving him for Nathan Sykes.

She responded to the claims via Twitter at the time, noting that she “wasn’t surprised” by Jai’s accusations.

She wrote, “You said to me if I didn’t come back to you, you’d make me look bad to the entire world. I’m no longer afraid of you or your lies anymore.”

They made their way back to each other in May 2014 and split for good that August.

Nathan Sykes

Although Ariana denied leaving Jai for Nathan, she dated the musician from August to December 2013 after they sang “Almost Is Never Enough” together.

Big Sean

The “Bounce Back” rapper sparked dating rumors with Ariana for months before they confirmed their relationship in October 2014.

During their romance, Big Sean’s ex-fiancé and late Glee actress Naya Rivera recalled finding Ariana in his home while they were still together in her book Sorry Not Sorry.

They split in April 2015 and spent quality time with each other four years later. However, it was just as “friends.”

“Ariana and Big Sean have remained in contact, but neither of them are looking for anything serious [or] romantic,” a source told Us Weekly in April 2019.

Ricky Alvarez

The Sam & Cat actress dated the backup dancer for two months in summer 2015.

Mac Miller

The late musician often gushed over Ariana, like his September 2016 interview with People.

“We hung out for a long time and everything just happened organically. We love making music together — we do that always. But she’s my best friend in the world,” he said.

Pete Davidson

Although they didn’t make it to their wedding day, Pete and Ari got multiple matching tattoos while they dated.

Together, they got a total of eight honorable images permanently inked on them, including their matching cloud and Pete’s name inked on her finger. They have since got their tats covered up or removed.

Dalton Gomez

Ariana was quite reserved about her marriage with Dalton and rarely talked about their relationship, even before their 2023 split.

Following the news of their separation, a source exclusively told Life & Style the former couple “really tried to make things work.”

“Unfortunately, it just wasn’t meant to be. Ariana and Dalton found themselves drifting apart. They went to therapy, but in the end, they decided not to prolong the inevitable,” the insider explained, noting they would “like to remain friends.”

Ariana’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, officially filed paperwork for the divorce on September 18, 2023. Dalton quickly filed later that day. The ex-couple’s divorce was finalized on October 6, 2023, with Dalton receiving a one-time tax-free payment of $1,250,000 and half of the net proceeds from the sale of his and Ariana’s Los Angeles home, which has a mortgage of $6 million. Dalton will also get $25,000 towards his legal fees, and neither he or Ariana will pay the other spousal support.

In their settlement, Ariana and Dalton also agreed not to “give any interview, write, appear in connection with, or assist or cooperate in the preparation or presentation of any book, article, interview, program or other production or publication of any kind whatsoever concerning the other party.”

Ethan Slater

Shortly after Ariana and Dalton’s split was revealed in July 2023, multiple outlets reported the “Thank U, Next” singer had fallen for Ethan while they were filming the upcoming movie adaptation of Wicked. Production began in December 2022 in the U.K., as Ariana is playing Glinda while Ethan is starring as Boq, Elphaba’s sister Nessarose’s love interest.

Ethan filed for a contested divorce from high school sweetheart and wife of four years Lilly Jay ​on July 26, according to  court records viewed by In Touch, nine days after news broke of Ariana’s marriage ending. The status of the case is currently pending as of publication, and no reason was provided as to why the couple is divorcing.
