Ariana Grande is engaged!
On Sunday (December 20), the pop star shared the news via Instagram. The five-photo gallery shows Ari snuggling up with her fiancé Dalton Gomez and includes a close-up of the bling. Unsurprisingly, it's BIG AND SPARKLY. The ring features a large, oval-shaped diamond with a pearl nestled to the left of it. Her caption is short and sweet: "forever n then some"
Fine jewelry expert, Andrew Brown of WP Diamonds, estimates the ring to be worth $150,000-$200,000.
Grande has linked to the luxury real estate agent since March. He was featured in her "Stuck With U" video with Justin Bieber in May, and they became Instagram official in June. In August, the "Positions" singer celebrated her beau's birthday with a romantic message, and earlier this month shared some smooching photos. Aside from those instances, she's kept her relationship pretty private.

Though they've been together for less than a year, it sounds like the couple's relationship blossomed during lockdown.
“They run in the same circle,” a source told E! News of how Grande and Gomez came to meet. “He used to be a dancer and they have many mutual friends. She’s gotten to know him quickly with the quarantine. They’ve been spending a lot of one on one time at home.”
As fans know, this isn't the singer's first engagement. She was previously engaged to comedian Pete Davidson. Their whirlwind relationship ended in October 2018.
