From teenage Broadway flings to whirlwind engagements and a marriage, Grande's dating timeline has long served as the emotional blueprint for her chart-topping discography, most notably her 2018 anthem, “Thank U, Next.”

Here is the complete breakdown of everyone Ariana Grande dated before her relationship with Ethan Slater.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez (2020-2023)

Grande’s most recent relationship prior to Ethan Slater was with luxury real estate broker Dalton Gomez. The pair began dating quietly in January 2020 while isolating together during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their romance escalated quickly, leading to a December 2020 engagement.

In May 2021, Grande and Gomez tied the knot in an ultra-private, intimate ceremony at her home in Montecito, California, with fewer than 20 guests in attendance. However, the marriage hit a rough patch, worsened by long-distance strains while Grande was filming Wicked in the United Kingdom. The couple separated in January 2023, and Grande officially filed for divorce later that year, which was finalized in early 2024.

Ariana Grande and Mikey Foster (2019-2020)

Following her public split from Pete Davidson, Grande was linked to musician Mikey Foster, a member of the duo Social House. Foster opened for Grande during her Sweetener World Tour in 2019. The pair sparked romance rumors after sharing a passionate onscreen kiss in their collaborative August 2019 music video, “Boyfriend.” Sources later confirmed they dated from the summer of 2019 until early 2020 before the relationship fizzled out.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson (2018)

In one of pop culture’s most memorable whirlwind romances, Grande began dating Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson in May 2018. Within just a few weeks of dating, the couple shocked fans by announcing their engagement, with Davidson gifting Grande a custom $93,000 pear-shaped ring.

The couple quickly moved into a luxury Manhattan apartment and dominated tabloid headlines throughout the summer. However, following a period of intense personal grief for Grande, the engagement was abruptly called off in October 2018, with insiders noting the romance was simply “too much, too soon.”

Ariana Grande and Mac Miller (2016-2018)

One of Grande’s most profoundly impactful relationships was with the late rapper Mac Miller. The two initially connected as friends and musical collaborators on Grande’s 2013 breakout hit single, “The Way.”

They transitioned into a romantic relationship in August 2016 and were together for nearly two years. The couple officially split in May 2018, with Grande later acknowledging that the relationship had become difficult to navigate due to dynamics surrounding his substance abuse challenges. Following his tragic passing in September 2018, Grande frequently honored his memory, channeling her grief into tracks like “Ghostin'” on her Thank U, Next album.

Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez (2015-2016)

Grande found love on stage when she began dating her former backup dancer, Ricky Alvarez, in the summer of 2015. The year-long relationship is often remembered by fans as the era of Grande’s infamous “donut-licking” controversy at a California bakery. The couple parted ways amicably in July 2016, and the two have remained close friends in the years since.

Ariana Grande and Big Sean (2014-2015)

Grande and rapper Big Sean formed a formidable music power couple when they began dating in August 2014. The pair frequently collaborated on studio tracks, including “Right There” and “Best Mistake,” and made high-profile red carpet appearances together, including the 2015 Grammy Awards. They split amicably in April 2015 after eight months together, citing conflicting international tour schedules. Grande famously referenced him in the opening lines of “Thank U, Next” with the lyric: “Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match.”

Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes (2013-2014)

Grande dated Nathan Sykes, a member of the British boy band The Wanted, from August 2013 to January 2014. The young pop stars sparked a romance while working together on the track “Almost Is Never Enough” for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones movie soundtrack. Grande later revealed in a radio interview that severe long-distance and demanding travel schedules caused the relationship to naturally run its course.

Ariana Grande and Jai Brooks (2012-2014)

Grande's first major entry into public dating was an on-again, off-again relationship with Australian YouTube comedian Jai Brooks. The pair connected in August 2012 and dated for a year before a tumultuous split in August 2013, during which Brooks publicly accused Grande of cheating on him with Nathan Sykes, allegations Grande firmly denied. Despite the public feud, the duo briefly reconciled in the spring of 2014 before breaking up for good that August.

Ariana Grande and Graham Phillips (2008-2011)

Long before her global pop stardom, a 15-year-old Grande met actor Graham Phillips in 2008 while they were both starring in the Broadway production 13: The Musical. The teenage co-stars dated for three years and even co-wrote a song together called “Stick Around.” They split amicably in December 2011 after losing romantic interest, but they have maintained a supportive friendship into adulthood, occasionally reuniting for dinners with their former Broadway castmates.

Now that Ariana and Ethan have broken up after 3 years of relationship followed by marriage, the pop sensation might be looking to start a new chapter in her life. While she surely has had a list of the people of came in her life and things did not work well for them but we just hope that she finds the love she desires and that too soon.
