Ariana Grande's divorce from ex-husband Dalton Gomez might finally be settled, but it's costing her a big chunk of money in spousal support. Grande and Dalton Gomez were married for 2 years before announcing their separation and filing for divorce. Not long after the announcement was made that the two were choosing to go their separate ways, rumors started to surface that the pop star was dating her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater (SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical), who was said to still be married at the time.

Grande and Gomez might've signed a prenuptial agreement (and might've not had any legal disputes in the past 6 months), but her divorce certainly did not come cheap, making her short nuptials to Gomez costly. The 'Yes, And' singer was ordered to pay Dalton Gomez a one-time total of $1.25 million.
