To some, Ariana Grande’s engagement announcement came out of nowhere, but it appears that’s what the singer wanted – to keep it private.
What the Sources Claim
In March, the pop star started quarantining with her boyfriend of three months, after moving from her home in New York City to Los Angeles to be with him. Now they’re engaged and People revealed how Grande realized Gomez was the man she wanted to marry.
The outlet reported that she decided to go back with Gomez to Los Angeles, where he worked, because “she realized he is very special.” Grande even bought a home there several months into quarantining with Gomez.
“It was getting tricky for them to see each other, so she decided to take her chance,” the source added. “She purchased a house in the Hollywood Hills in June and never looked back. They are incredibly happy.”
Getting Engaged
News of Gomez and Grande dating first broke in March, although the couple was first seen together in February. Indications that they were getting serious first surfaced in August when a source told Us Weekly that “Ariana sees something different in Dalton that she has never seen before in guys she has previously dated.” The source added that they have “fallen madly in love with each other.”
And they were right, on December 20, the ‘thank u, next’ singer revealed in an Instagram post that Gomez had popped the question with a pearl-and-diamond ring.
“forever n then some,” the Grammy winner captioned a series of photos announcing the engagement news.
Grande has since shared more glimpses of her life with Gomez on Instagram, including shots of their first Christmas together.
The couple also sent UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital patients and their families special gifts, spreading the holiday cheer.
