Ariana Grande’s ex-husband Dalton Gomez has been moving on since his divorce from the singer was finalized – and was reportedly seen kissing Maika Monroe during a night out on Saturday.
Notably, the 28-year-old real estate agent and the 30-year-old “Wicked” actress filed their divorce papers on September 18 — and quickly finalized their divorce proceedings on Friday, according to TMZ earlier this week.
Gossip site DeuxMoi uploaded a photo to its Instagram Stories on Sunday from a source who claimed Gomez and Monroe, 30, were “packing on the PDA” while spending time at Jumbo’s in Hollywood.
Underneath a photo that allegedly showed the couple kissing was the message: “Dalton Gomez and Maika Monroe packed on the PDA at Jumbos last night.”
“They were very friendly and they both introduced themselves. They looked around to see if anyone was looking and then continued making out in front of everyone.”

Maika – known for her starring roles in projects such as It Follows – was most recently romantically linked to Stranger Things actor Joe Keery.
The couple had been together since 2017, but there was speculation that the two were no longer together in September last year after Joe released an album called Decide.
One track, “Go For It,” contained lyrics that seemed to hint at a possible breakup, such as “One week and four years, you know my ways, I know your fears/” But then there’s a misunderstanding, but what will it take to hear me out?’
Monroe and Keery were also last seen together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March 2022. A few months later, the actress was noticeably absent from the fourth season premiere of Stranger Things, which she had attended in the past.
DeuxMoi’s recent photo comes after TMZ reported in July that Dalton had been back on the dating scene “in recent months.”
And on Friday, Ariana and Dalton finalized their divorce, quickly settling the divorce proceedings as the couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, TMZ reported.
According to the settlement, the real estate agent received a check from the Grammy winner – the payment was worth a total of $1,250,000 and was also tax-free.
The former couple will also split the “net proceeds” if their Los Angeles home is sold, and Grande will pay an additional $25,000 of Dalton’s legal fees.
Affectionate: “They were very friendly and both introduced themselves.” “They looked around to see if anyone was looking and then continued to make out in front of everyone,” a source told the gossip site.

Although the couple’s divorce is already finalized, a source told the entertainment tabloid that there was no bad blood between Ariana and Gomez – who tied the knot in 2021.
“There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in step with each other,” the insider explained.
The former Nickelodeon star filed her divorce papers last month on September 18 – and Dalton also filed on the same day.
In documents previously obtained by TMZ, Ariana’s attorney Laura Wasser had cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their divorce, listing the date of separation as February 20, 2023.
Sources told the outlet that everything was “worked out” between the former couple “before heading to the courthouse,” adding that the actress plans to “cut Dalton a check” to officially dissolve the marriage.
Notably, the couple filed for divorce months after their stated separation date, and an insider told TMZ that the reasoning was so they could “work out the details and come to an agreement.”
According to the source, Grande and Gomez have “no hard feelings,” adding, “They have been truly caring and respectful of each other through every step of this process.”
The Grammy winner and the real estate agent began dating in January 2020 and the couple got engaged in December of the same year.
Settlement: According to the settlement, the real estate agent received a check from the Grammy winner – the payment was worth a total of $1,250,000 and was also tax-free. “Mutual Love”: “There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana.” “And Dalton and she wanted to make sure everything was done right in step with each other,” the insider explained
In May 2021, the two tied the knot during an intimate but romantic wedding ceremony at their home in Montecito. But news of their shocking split came to light in early July this year.
A source close to the couple told DailyMail.com at the time of the split news: “Ariana and Dalton have nothing but respect for each other. “They are still friends and intend to remain so in the future.”
“There was no cheating, no resentment between them, the marriage just didn’t work out.” “These things happen,” the insider added.
In August, another source told Us Weekly that Dalton was “learning to accept his split from Grande.”
“It’s been a while since Ariana and Dalton broke up, but he’s adjusted to his new normal and learned to accept her for who she is,” the insider told the outlet.
“It’s certainly not what he expected because he obviously assumed they would be together forever.”
The source added that Gomez “never thought he would get a divorce in public. But he is persevering and is grateful to his friends and family who have really supported him.”
While Dalton has reportedly moved on, the Into You singer has also continued her budding romance with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, who also filed for divorce from his wife Lilly Jay in July, leaving her “devastated.” ‘
The two previously tied the knot in 2018 and were high school sweethearts. In August 2022, the couple gave birth to their first baby together – a son.
Early last month, a separate source informed DailyMail.com that Ariana and Ethan are now living together as he prepares for the Broadway production of Spamalot.
Budding romance: While Dalton has reportedly moved on, the Into You singer is also continuing her budding romance with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.
