Will Someone Please Explain To Me Why Ariana Grande Is Marrying This Dude?

So this was the biggest story in celebrity news over the weekend and I have some questions. The first of which is why? Why is Ariana Grande getting married to this dude? Like if it's not his looks, it's not his money, and it's not his fame, then what is it? Does he just have a big...heart? Do they have an unbreakable bond? Are they in actually love?!?! I'm genuinly confused. News of their engagement first broke yesterday afternoon...

and I've been trying to figure it out ever since. Dalton Gomez seems like a nice guy, but he's essentially just a poor man's Pete Davidson. E! put out an article introducing him yesterday. Here are the main takeaways...

1. He Was Born and Raised in Southern California. Gomez used to live with his family in the San Bernardino, Calif. area before moving to Los Angeles. 

2. He Sells Luxury Houses. 

3. Gomez's Boss Helped Grande Buy Her House.

4. He Met Grande Through His Work

A source told Us Weekly in August 2020 that before the coronavirus pandemic began, "Ariana was looking for a home outside of Los Angeles to be her getaway house, and her team found Dalton to help." "When she saw him, she immediately thought he was cute and very good-looking, and she asked her team to set up an in-person meeting with him," the source said. "Ariana fell very hard for Dalton shortly after they met."

5. Gomez and Grande Also Have Mutual Famous Friends

6. He's Got His Own Ties to the Music World

7. He's a Dog Lover!

I checked to see if the "luxury real estate" title he gave himself was true and it is. He has a Toll Brothers-style profile on the AKG website complete with headshots available here

He also has 4,420 Instagram followers compared to his fiancé's 211,000,000. 

The whole thing just seems off. They've only been dating since Febuary-ish which makes it even more weird. Maybe this is one of those things where a celebrity marries a regular person to make them feel normal. I don't know. I'm going to choose to believe that this is the beginning of one of Hollywood's great love stories. Best of luck to the two of them. Now take it away, A!
