Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber released their highly anticipated collab “Stuck With U”
after six long years, and in the midst of all the excitement, the song’s music video
also dropped a MAJOR detail about Ariana’s love life.
What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with Clevver News, and this is NOT a drill: Ariana
just confirmed her relationship, and we’ve even got video evidence to prove it.
Just FYI, becoming Instagram official is SO 2019, so if you don’t include your S.O.
in a music video that can’t get deleted and will stay on the internet FOREVER, are
you really even official?
Back in March, fans began speculating that Ariana Grande was dating California real estate
mogul Dalton Gomez, all thanks to a few cryptic Instagram posts, but since then, she’s remained
pretty tight-lipped about her mystery man she’s been in isolation with.
Fast forward to TODAY when Ariana and Justin Bieber released their highly anticipated collab
after six years of fans begging for a duet from these two, and we finally have our answers.
Not only did Ari and Justin release their new song “Stuck With U” out into the world,
and not only are the proceeds of the song going to be donated to the First Responders
Children's Foundation, BUT they also released a music video for the song which features
footage of other celebs and their S.O.s, and it might be the sweetest thing to hit the
Internet all year.
The video, which was shot all on people’s individual cameras, features some footage
from celebs and their S.O.’s along with fan footage after sending in videos dancing
to the harmony of the song.
But fans were SHOCKED to their core to see that near the end of the video, Ari seemingly
confirmed her relationship with Dalton as the two adorably slow-dance in her bedroom
while the track fades out.
There we have it -- OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION, y’all!
Aside from Ari and Dalton, many other celebs seem to have sent in their at-home footage,
including Justin’s wife Hailey, who shared some adorable moments throughout the video.
Kendall and Kylie even make a small cameo, along with Gwenyth Paltrow, Jaden Smith, Lebron
James and Chance the Rapper.
Footage of Ari’s new beau came as quite the surprise to fans as just a few weeks ago,
she revealed that she’d be taking a step back from sharing so much about her personal
life with fans.
It all started when actress Florence Pugh came under fire for posting about her relationship
with Zach Braff.
Fans began dragging Florence online for their 21-year age difference, which led her to share
a video to fans in her own words.
Many celebs including Ariana came to her defense in reaction to the video.
Ari shared a statement to her Instagram story, writing, “Sharing special, personal life
things that make you happy on the internet can be so traumatic.
I know I’ve taken a step back from doing so to protect my loved ones and myself but
I just wanted to share this and let you know how perfectly you expressed this and how appreciated
you are for doing so.”
We couldn’t be more thrilled for Ariana for continuing to let fans in on such a personal
detail of her life as this probably wasn’t an easy decision.
And rightfully so, the reaction to Ariana and Dalton in the video couldn’t have been
more uplifting and positive.
Fans began frantically taking to social media to share their excitement for Ari, like this
user who wrote, “SHE REALLY CONFIRMED HER NEW RELATIONSHIP ON A MUSIC VIDEO FOR A CAUSE.
UGH!
HER MIND!”
Another user pointed out that Ari even paid tribute to Mac Miller in the video, saying,
“The fact that Ariana was wearing Mac's sweater while dancing with her boyfriend.
I have mad respect for both of them.
Ariana remembering Mac with such a touching gesture & her bf for supporting that????
WE HAVE TO STAN.”
But another pointed out that this was the perfect strategic move, in order to gain more
attention, therefore donating even MORE to charity.
The tweet read, “ariana knew revealing her boyfriend in the "stuck with u" music video
would gain extreme attention therefore making people watch the video and increase streams
for a #1 and also all the proceeds will go towards charity... a business woman.”
Aside from the business aspect of it, this truly was the perfect way for Ari to share
her life with fans, so don’t mind us, we’ll just be over here rewatching the “Stuck
With U” video for the rest of the weekend.
