Ariana Grande's ex-husband has found his own eternal sunshine.
After all, Dalton Gomez and Maika Monroe made their relationship official on Instagram with sweet pics together.
The It Follows actress shared a snap kissing the real estate agent on her tiptoes in the June 9 post. In another photo, the couple cozied up on a boat in the sun, surrounded by an ocean view. She simply captioned her photo dump with a star emoji.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in October, two weeks after the real estate agent settled his divorce from Ariana. In photos obtained by TMZ at the time, Dalton and Maika—who previously dated Stranger Things actor Joe Keery—were spotted sharing some kisses at a Los Angeles bar.
Like Dalton, the "7 rings" singer found found following the end of their two-year marriage. In fact, the same day Maika shared her post, Ariana and her boyfriend Ethan Slater were spotted on a rare date night at Game One of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers.
Their hockey outing marked one of the most public joint sightings for Ariana, 30, and Ethan, 32. The pair, who E! News confirmed had been dating in July, were spotted in Panthers jerseys while smiling and laughing during the game.
But since news of their romance, the pair has come under scrutiny, especially since the SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage! star had filed for divorce from his wife Lilly Jay—with whom he shares a son—the same month it was confirmed he was dating the Victorious alum. But Ariana defended her relationship with her Wicked costar and rebuked the media coverage.
"We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person," Ariana explained on The Zach Sang Show in February. "We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance. Like, they don't leave space for that—well, they do for their friends and their family. It's selective. But they turn it off when that aligns with the version of a person that they have in their head that they want to believe is true."
