After the announcement that Ariana Grande is joining The Voice season 21 as a coach, the fans want to look back at the pop star's dating history and notable ex-boyfriends. Ariana first broke out in the public eye as an actress on Nickelodeon's Victorious and Sam & Cat. As a young woman, she briefly dated The Good Wife actor Graham Phillips, YouTuber Jai Brooks, and The Wanted bandmate Nathan Sykes. As the years went by and Ariana Grande's music career really took off, her relationships became a matter of public interest.
Ariana Grande's first high-profile relationship was with Big Sean. They started dating in October 2014, as the rapper had just broken up with Glee actress Naya Rivera. At the time, Big Sean released a track about his ex-girlfriend, "I Don't F**k With You". After dissing Naya throughout the song, Big Sean rapped "I got a new chick that I gotta thank God for" in reference to Ariana. In total, they were together for about eight months, as they reportedly broke up in April 2015.
Certain casual Ariana Grande fans didn't recognize Ricky Alvarez's name when she namedropped him on "thank u, next". That's because, in comparison to Big Sean's media notoriety, Ricky was not necessarily a "famous boyfriend" for Ari. And yet, her relationship with Ricky is noteworthy for a very specific reason. This was the boyfriend who was with Ariana when she infamously licked doughnuts in a store, which was revealed by a leaked security camera video. Altogether, Ariana and Ricky dated from the summer of 2015 to the summer of 2016.
Ariana Grande's longest relationship to date was with rapper Mac Miller, with whom she was with for two years. She started dating him in 2016 after breaking up with Ricky Alvarez, and they were together until May 2018. There are countless sweet moments that were captured between Ariana and Mac Miller during the time when they dated. Unfortunately, the rapper suddenly passed away in September 2018, just four months after their breakup. Despite being a very private person, Ari mourned the loss of Mac Miller in a very public way, paying tribute to her beloved ex-boyfriend.
Immediately after breaking up with Mac Miller in May 2018, Ariana Grande would go on to meet Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson. They hit it off quickly and went public right away as a couple, with Ariana regularly professing her love for the SNL star at every chance that she got. The love between them was so intense that Ariana made a song titled "pete davidson" for her 2018 album Sweetener. Nonetheless, Pete and Ariana's relationship only lasted a few months given that the couple reportedly split in October 2018. It was after this breakup that Ariana Grande released the smash hit "thank u, next", where she namedropped Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Mac Miller, and Pete Davidson.
Ariana Grande started dating real estate agent Dalton Gomez in February 2020. It was right before the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ariana was looking for a house to buy. Dalton had been hired to help her find a home, and the two hit it off from there on out. In December 2020, the pop star revealed that she got engaged to Dalton.
The Voice season 20 airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on NBC.
