American pop star Ariana Grande's divorce from ex-husband Dalton Gomez is finalized, and the singer will have to pay him $1.2 million (ksh 159,263,012).
The singer filed for divorce six months ago, claiming irreconcilable differences.
The two started dating in January 2020, just before the COVID-19 outbreak, and they married in a "small and intimate" wedding at her house in Montecito, California, in May 2021.
In addition to the one-time payment, the settlement grants Mr Gomez half of the earnings from selling their Los Angeles house.
