A day after their breakup rumours spread online, TMZ reported that Grande and Gomez were "heading toward divorce" following their quiet separation in January. Although the couple had tried to rekindle their romance "a few months back," they ultimately couldn't make their relationship work and broke up.
In a follow-up report, TMZ claimed Grande and Gomez began to drift apart once Covid restrictions were lifted. "[Gomez] was taken aback by Ariana's celebrity. He had not dealt with her schedule, the paparazzi, and the various opportunities that took her out of L.A," the outlet said. According to TMZ, the pair's marriage began to crumble even more once Grande moved to London to film "Wicked."
