Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez had signed a prenuptial agreement before marriage

According to Page Six, Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez had signed an "iron-clad prenuptial agreement" which helped the process of their divorce go smoothly, without any challenges. The prenup stated that any community property shared by the couple during the term of their marriage be equally between the pair following divorce, which was also true of their marital home in LA.

It was both Grande and Gomez's decision to sell their marital home after separation; they had to pay a mortgage of $6 million upfront to be able to put the house on the property market. As their prenup dictates, the selling price of the house would be divided equally among the two.

The divorce settlement barred both parties "from releasing or publishing any photograph (and related negatives), tape, film or like embodiments in all forms.” These include photos and videos from their home, office, or any other property owned by them.

The settlement between the couple also included a term that bans Ariana Grande from sharing any details of their relationship publicly, or pen a "tell-all book about their marriage."

On his part, Gomez cannot “give any interview, write, appear in connection with, or assist or cooperate in the preparation or presentation of any book, article, interview, program or other production or publication of any kind whatsoever concerning the other party.”
