Ariana Grande marries real estate agent boyfriend

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Ariana Grande married her real estate agent boyfriend in California over the weekend, some five months after the couple got engaged, the singer’s representatives and TMZ.com said on Monday.

Grande, 27, tied the knot with Dalton Gomez, 25, whom she started dating in January 2020.

“They got married,” Grande’s representative told People magazine. “It was tiny and intimate — less than 20 people. The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn’t be happier.”

Grande’s representative confirmed the marriage.

Celebrity website TMZ said the wedding took place at Grande’s home in Montecito, Southern California.

The “thank u, next” singer announced her engagement to Gomez in December 2020, having started dating about a year before.

Grande was previously engaged briefly to “Saturday Night Live” comedian Pete Davidson in 2018 but they split about five months later. Grande was also in a long relationship with rapper Mac Miller, who died of an accidental drug overdose about four months after their relationship ended in 2018.

Selena finally breaks silence about Demi’s relapse

Selena Gomez has finally broken her silence about her close friend Demi Lovato’s drug relapse and recent overdose.

“All I’m saying is that I reached out personally. I didn’t do a public thing. I didn’t want to. I love her… I have known her since I was 7,” the pop star said of her fellow Disney star in an interview with US Elle Magazine.

Demi is reportedly undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation facility.
‘Peaceful’


Meanwhile, the 26-year-old pop star also talked about how her life has been so far, after undergoing kidney transplant last year.

“It’s peaceful. It’s weird… Right now, I feel very sure of where I am. I don’t feel erratic or emotionally unstable… I’m understanding myself a little more. By all means, I don’t have myself figured out. But it feels good,” said Selena, who’s working on a new album.

“One of the songs in the upcoming record is titled ‘Flawless.’ It’s [about] me encouraging a younger version of myself. Even when you’re imperfect, even when you’re feeling worthless, you’re flawless,” she said. “It’s a song I’m going to sing for the rest of my life.”—ALLAN POLICARPIO

Justin Bieber’s shoes sold for $62,000 at charity auction

STRATFORD, Ontario — A pair of Justin Bieber’s Nike basketball shoes has fetched more than $62,000 in an eBay auction to benefit a food bank in the pop star’s hometown of Stratford, Ontario.

Bieber’s grandparents, Diane and Bruce Dale, donated some of Bieber’s personal items to raise money for the Stratford House of Blessing food bank. The auction started Jan. 31 and closed at noon on Saturday.

Bieber’s Toronto Maple Leafs comforter sold for more than $6,000, his pillow case went for more than $3,000, and his ceiling light came in at just under $2,000.

The charity says on its website that Bieber and his mother chose to donate the items “because they were helped by us in their time of need.”

Organizers say Bieber autographed the items when he was in the area over the holidays, and each came with a certificate of authenticity signed by his grandmother.

The winning bids aren’t finalized until confirmed by eBay.
