Ariana Grande’s estranged husband, Dalton Gomez, reportedly isn’t handling their split very well.
“Dalton has been devastated by it,” a source told US Weekly on Wednesday.
“A separation is not what he wanted. He wanted the fairy tale, happy ending, and it’s not looking that way.”
Additionally, a second source told the outlet that Gomez is hoping for a reconciliation.
“Dalton is really hoping to make things work with Ariana,” the second insider shared.
“Despite the rocky patches they’ve been through, he isn’t ready to give up on their marriage. He saw himself spending the rest of his life with Ariana and will do anything to get past this.”
Pvnew confirmed Monday that the couple, who tied the knot in May 2021, were divorcing.
An insider told us at the time that the “7 Rings” singer and the luxury real estate agent “came to the decision together.”
“They were having problems before January, but they want to remain best friends,” the source said.
Neither has spoken publicly about the separation, but sources claim they couldn’t make their “different” lifestyles work post-pandemic.
Gomez was apparently “taken aback” by the the pop star’s demanding schedule after COVID-19 restrictions lifted, sources told TMZ.
Despite their challenges, sources exclusively told Pvnew that Gomez, 27, flew to London — where Grande, 30, had been filming “Wicked” — in an effort to save their marriage.
According to our insiders, the attempt to mend their marital woes “didn’t work out.”
News that Gomez isn’t taking the separation well also comes amid claims that the realtor has been dating again for “months” since their split in January.
A source familiar with the situation told TMZ that the “Thank U, Next” hitmaker has no issue with her estranged husband seeing other people.
A source previously told us that the pair — who celebrated two years of marriage in May — have remained “really good friends throughout the entire process.”
“Their friends and families have been trying to protect them,” they added.
Rumors began to swirl that Grande and Gomez were not together after the “Victorious” alum was spotted without her wedding band at Wimbledon over the weekend.
Fans also noticed the songstress had been going ringless on social media over the past few months.
In fact, the last time Grande — who has been keeping a low profile — was spotted out with her ring was in April at Jeff Goldblum’s concert in London.
While the two have been separated for some time, Grande still took to her Instagram Story in May to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
“i love him so,” she captioned a black-and-white photo of herself and Gomez kissing at their wedding, adding that they had been together for three and a half years at the time.
