Dalton Gomez Reportedly ‘Would Love to Win’ Ariana Grande Back Despite ‘Dating Casually’ Post-Split
Yes, Dalton Gomez, Ariana Grande’s estranged husband, is dating other people amid their separation, which started in January. But despite this, he is “devastated” about the split, Us Weekly reports, and hasn’t given up on their marriage, even if Grande is set on moving on.
A source told the outlet in a report published yesterday, “Dalton has been devastated by it. A separation is not what he’s wanted. He wanted the fairy tale, happy ending, and it’s not looking that way.”
A second source echoed this statement, saying, “Dalton is really hoping to make things work with Ariana. 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.”
Yes, the Los Angeles real estate agent “has been dating casually as an attempt to distract himself from the split,” but he hasn’t been seeking out another serious relationship. “Truth be told, he’s not over Ariana and would still love to win her back.”
Grande, meanwhile, is “fine” with Gomez dating. “She just wants to move forward and has no hard feelings about their breakup.”
Another source echoed that point to Us earlier this week: “Ariana’s determined to move forward,” the source said. Those close to Grande “are ‘happy’ about the steps she is taking in her personal life,” the outlet wrote.
Grande has also signaled her intent to move on publicly, quietly taking down her wedding and engagement photos with Gomez from Instagram. She got fan attention for recently liking an Instagram post that said, “Never again will I be in a relationship with someone I fear.”
