What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and Ariana Grande has become
increasingly open about her relationship with Dalton Gomez, so since we could all use a
little love, light and positivity right now, we’re breaking down the happy couples’
most melt-worthy moments!
If you’re like us and you’ve been playing Ariana Grande’s new album Positions on repeat
since it’s release, as if you didn’t already know, you’d now DEFINITELY know that our
girl Ari has fallen head over heels for her boyfriend Dalton Gomez.
The two reportedly began dating in January of this year, and kept pretty tight-lipped
about their relationship throughout the first few months… buuuuut all that changed as
they continued to share more and more details about their love for one another, and fans
are LIVING for the sweet moments that have Ari beaming with happiness.
After numerous hints and months of speculation, fans were thrilled as Ari shared the first
few glimpses into their relationship during the music video debut for her collab with
Justin Bieber called “Stuck With U”.
The song and music video were released back in May, just about a month into quarantine,
and features actual footage that fans sent in while singing along, as well as both Justin,
his wife Hailey, Ariana and Dalton.
Although Dalton’s face was largely concealed by his hoodie, the two could be seen slow
dancing near the end of the video, and excuse me while I melt into a freaking puddle.
As if we didn’t already suspect it, we knew that Dalton was a keeper when he confirmed
that he is serious “Boyfriends of Instagram” material during the time Ari was doing promo
for her and Lady Gaga’s collab “Rain On Me.”
Dalton made his first official Instagram debut on Ariana’s Instagram story, as he helped
her out by spraying her with water in the bathtub.
She captioned the hilarious behind-the-scenes shot with the heart-faced emoji, and later
shared the finished product where her man really did make it rain.
On a more serious note, one important aspect of a relationship is when two people share
the same morals.
Back in May around the time of the Black Lives Matter protests, Ari, Dalton and her close
friend Doug Middlebrook documented their part in marching in the protests together.
The threesome made their own “Black Lives Matter” signs and marched through the streets
of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and I don’t know about you guys, but protesting
social justice for the betterment of the future of this world deems as much more official
than saying “I love you” in my book.
Just sayin’.
The following month, Dalton shared the sweetest birthday tribute in honor of Ariana’s 27th
birthday.
Just a day after Ari shared the couple’s first public selfie together, she posted photos
of the two packing on the PDA from her Midsommar-themed birthday party.
And by the looks of it, Dalton and Ari’s close friend and music video director Alfredo
Flores went in on a sweet gift of framing each of her dogs… one love language I can
definitely get behind.
But it seems Ari returned the favor when it came time to celebrate Dalton’s special
day in August, when she dedicated an entire slideshow of cute, couple-y photos to him,
calling him “my baby, my best friend, my fav part of all the days.”
And clearly these two have the same sense of humor because if you made it to the end
of the slideshow, you would’ve noticed this monstrosity of a mashup of what Ari and Dalton’s
kids would look like… gotta love the Internet.
Another sweet moment shared between Ari and Dalton came during the 2020 MTV VMAs as he
walked with her hand-in-hand backstage just minutes before her performance with Lady Gaga.
Ari shared another slideshow of photos from the big event, and in the last shot was a
picture-perfect representation of the love and support she’s received from her man
over the past year.
Dalton also shared the photo in black-and-white to his own Instagram page, with a simple heart
emoji to sum up all his feels.
And finally, just as fans have been waiting
patiently for Ari to drop her sixth studio album, Positions, she debuted even more insight
into their relationship on the night of the album’s release last Thursday.
Not only did the lyrics to her songs reveal that Ari is loved-up, but she shared a sweet
video last week giving Dalton a kiss as her close friends celebrated her major milestone:
I
think this goes without saying, but this girl seriously deserves all the love and success
she’s manifested “just like magic” and waited for after enduring so much hardship
in the past.
We couldn’t possibly be more happy for Ari and Dalton, but something tells us this is
just the beginning of their love story.

album, click right over here to watch another Clevver video.
