she has been married once, to a man most people have never heard of, and engaged once to a man everybody has. those are two different questions and the internet keeps merging them.
the short answer
she is not currently married. she has been married once, to dalton gomez, a los angeles luxury real estate agent — they married in may 2021 at her home in montecito, separated in january 2023, and the divorce was finalised in march 2024. she has never been married to pete davidson, who was her fiancé for roughly four months in 2018.
the marriage
dalton gomez is a luxury real estate agent in los angeles and has never been a public figure in any other sense, which is most of why the marriage looked the way it did. they began dating in early 2020 — the first year of the pandemic, which is the only period of her adult life spent substantially out of view — announced their engagement in december 2020, and married on 15 may 2021.
the wedding was held at her house in montecito with fewer than twenty people present. no magazine deal, no photographs released for a week, no guest list to be read as a seating chart of the industry. for somebody whose previous engagement had been conducted almost entirely in public, that was a deliberate correction rather than an accident.
the album that came out of that period is positions, and it sounds like it: close-mic'd, domestic, the least interested in being impressive of anything she has made.
the divorce
they separated in january 2023, while she was in the uk filming wicked. the divorce was filed in september 2023 — citing irreconcilable differences and a january separation date — and finalised in march 2024, with a settlement already agreed. by the standards of anything else in her public life it was procedurally uneventful.
eternal sunshine, released the same month the divorce concluded, is a break-up record shaped like a concept album. it is also the coldest-sounding thing she has made, which is a more interesting choice than the obvious one.
pete davidson was never her husband
the reason it persists in people's memory as one is that the engagement was more publicly documented than most weddings are, and that it sits inside the same eighteen months as sweetener, mac miller's death and thank u, next — a period compressed enough that the order of events genuinely is hard to reconstruct from memory. the timeline has it in sequence if you want to see the actual spacing.
