WIMBLEDON, LONDON: Ariana Grande fueled rumors of marital strife with her husband, Dalton Gomez, by being photographed without her wedding ring yet again. The 'Wicked' star was spotted in the audience at Wimbledon's men's singles final on July 16 without her diamond sparkler on her left ring finger.
On the last day of the Wimbledon Championship on Sunday, Ariana snuggled up to 'Wicked' co-star and friend Jonathan Bailey. The married singer grinned as she shared a joke with the 'Bridgerton' star while watching Serbia's Novak Djokovic take on Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in the Men's Final from their VIP seats at Wimbledon. Ariana, who plays Glinda in the forthcoming Broadway musical adaptation, looked chic in a gray knitted short-sleeved maxi dress and towering black pointed-toe shoes. She dressed up for the occasion by donning a fresh white Wimbledon baseball hat and styling her long blonde locks in loose waves beneath. While enjoying a drink, the 'Thank You Next' singer sported a unique set of green-tinted circular spectacles and a pair of elegant gold hoop earrings.
Ariana attends Wimbledon's men's singles final sans Dalton
Ariana was spotted without her wedding ring at Wimbledon this weekend, prompting speculation that she and her husband are having problems. The singer was at the big game on Sunday, and she went ringless on a very specific finger. This isn't Ariana's first time going out without her jewels, but it's a huge deal because it's a high-profile event.
She was sitting between two celebrities—Andrew Garfield and Jonathan from 'Bridgerton'—with no indication of her husband, Dalton. That in and of itself isn't noteworthy, given how the guy prefers to keep out of the spotlight, but the fact that she continues to wear her ring is. Rumors have been circulating for months that their relationship is on the rocks, owing in part to Ariana's bare finger being revealed over and over in IG images she shares, but this is something she's clearly dismissed in the past as BS.
'I love him so'
TMZ has learned from people with firsthand information that Ariana and Dalton have been having marital problems of late, including a hard period a few months ago. The publication claims to be unaware of their current situation, but what they do know is that Ariana has been away from home or busy at work in the UK for quite some time, working on her new film, 'Wicked,' with Cynthia Erivo.
Of course, Dalton has erased his Instagram account completely, just another factor that has enraged her admirers. Nonetheless, Ariana recently signaled that everything is OK. This past May, on their 2-year anniversary, she uploaded a photo of herself and Dalton kissing during their wedding, putting the numbers "2" and "3.5 together," with the caption "I love him so." So, on the surface, she's attempted to depict a love relationship between them.
While the condition of their marriage is now unknown, there has been no official indication of their desire to terminate things—that is, no divorce papers have been filed, or anything else to publicly indicate it's over.
