Let's talk about Ariana Grande getting secretly married to Dalton Gomez...
On May 17, TMZ broke the news that Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez secretly tied the knot at her home in Montecito. Her reps told TMZ that there were less than 20 guests, including family members from both sides and the whole thing was very intimate and filled with a lot of love.
Apparently, there was no real "ceremony,” but both of them said their "I dos" in an informal way. TMZ writes that it was really just for them and it's unclear how long they planned to do it this way -- in other words, whether it was impulsive or not.
If you recall, Ariana and Dalton got engaged in December. I wrote about it here. From then until now, I had 2 main exposing posts that talks about how the engagement wasn’t spontaneous and why Ariana can’t stay single.
And now they’re married! So what’s up with that?
Well if you recall from my not-so-spontaneous-engagement post, we said that it will either go 2 ways:
Jan. 6, 2021
By the way, I would like to clarify something I said in that post. When I said that Ariana wanted to be engaged and that the engagement wasn’t spontaneous, I didn’t mean it as a bad thing. Some of the comments expressed how they didn’t like how I phrased it negatively that it was a planned engagement as opposed to being a spontaneous one. I can see how it came off that way, but I don’t mean it in a bad way!
I don’t think planned engagements are bad by any means and I know that the engagement processes differ based on culture. So I just wanted to clarify that.
Back to the marriage.
As we can see, Ariana took route #2—getting married.
I know many of our readers are confused about this relationship because we always talk about how Ariana is reportedly cheating on Dalton. Listen, I’m not a serial cheater so I’m not sure what goes through Ariana’s head or what possesses her to be the way she is. If we got fellow serial cheaters reading this post, you can shed your insight down below. Why do you cheat on your partner?
You guys wanted my thoughts so here they are.
Personally, I am happy for Ariana. I’ve seen her gradually become less messy so there’s a lot of character development there.
Do I think Dalton and her will last? Probably not. As I said, sources and I believe that she’s another Jennifer Lopez.
The thing about Jennifer is that she constantly seeks male validation which is why she’s never single. And if she gets out of a relationship, she will be thrown into another with someone else right away because she needs that male validation. She just got out of an embarrassing relationship with Alex Rodriguez and is already seen cruising with her former fling, Ben Affleck; who’s also a mess.
That’s the life I see Ariana leading. I don’t believe that Ariana is secure in herself by any means which is why she is constantly hopping in and out of relationships.
Ariana would rather die than have broken up this engagement with Dalton. She knows that everyone was anticipating a breakup considering her track record with Pete Davidson. I honestly had a feeling that she would tie the knot with Dalton to avoid that public embarrassment.
It’s not even embarrassing, but Ariana knows what the general public thinks about her in terms of relationships. She can’t be alone, she can’t be single, she moves on too fast, blah blah blah.
Getting married to Dalton proves many points wrong, but if you’re doing something to prove a point, then are you really proving the point?
Tying the knot with Dalton proves the doubters wrong because many people thought she wouldn’t make it down the aisle just like she didn’t with Pete.
Doing it in a secretive manner also proves another point—the point that Ariana doesn’t want attention and isn’t using her relationships to increase her social clout. That was something that she was accused of due to her thank u, next era.
Honestly, I think that’s stupid because what is an artist if they’re not making art based on their life? I mean it’s a different story if you’re milking a dead story, but I didn’t find that as the case for Ariana.
One thing I do know is that Ariana was planning a wedding in recent months. This leads me to believe that she opted for a secret intimate ceremony in her house instead, but a wedding was 100% being planned. I wonder if she’ll ever talk about that or if they might even end up having a wedding later on just like Justin & Hailey Bieber.
Now here’s the thing… TMZ said that there was no real ceremony and they both just said their vows in a really informal way.
That strikes me as a red flag only because of Ariana’s history and tendencies which I’ve discussed before. A wedding being informal and rushed makes me believe it’s one of those “let’s get this over with” or “we’re having problems, so maybe getting married will solve them.”
Very Miley Cyrus x Liam Hemsworth tease… Miley and Liam were having problems but they thought that their marriage would fix them. So what did they do? Have a quick and extremely private ceremony.
I know when it comes to regular folks like us, small intimate weddings mean more, but when it comes to celebrities, it’s them trying out a 30-day free trial… wedding edition.
Because if it doesn’t work out, well there was never any big fuss about it, to begin with.
It’s more of a marriage of convenience. It’s what Ariana wants AT THE MOMENT. She wants to be MARRIED at the moment. Does this mean it’s going to last forever? Hell no. I’ll be shocked if they even make it 3 years because Ariana hops in and out of relationships.
Another thing I want to mention is whether or not they got legally married. The way TMZ was talking about it seems like they just got married in front of their friends and family without it being legal or done in a courthouse. They also used the word “informal” so that makes me wonder…
That’s another thing! Was a prenup signed or not? When Justin and Hailey first got married, TMZ scoured the Earth to find out if they signed a prenup or not. Spoiler alert: they didn’t, but there are postnup talks which I spoke about here.
I’m really curious to hear your thoughts and insight. If I hear any additional information, I’ll be sure to update you guys!
