Dalton Gomez, Ariana Grande's ex-husband, has officially confirmed his relationship with actor Maika Monroe on Instagram. On Sunday, Monroe shared a series of photos featuring Gomez, a real estate agent previously married to Grande for two years before their split in July 2023.

Gomez's previous marriage to Grande
Before dating Monroe, Gomez was married to pop star Grande. They started dating in early 2020 but chose not to make their relationship public. Things escalated quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to their engagement in December 2020 and marriage in May 2021. However, they finalized their divorce in March 2024 after confirming their separation in July 2023. Grande is currently dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.
Monroe's past relationship with Joe Keery
Meanwhile, Monroe was previously in a relationship with Stranger Things star Joe Keery. The former couple made their first red carpet appearance together in October 2017 and separated sometime between 2022 and 2023. In a recent interview with Variety on June 6, Keery spoke about their split for the first time, stating, "I had also gone through a big breakup, right as I was leaving Rome...So I was really isolated and focused on my work."
