Why did Ariana Grande thank her ex-husband Dalton Gomez next to them? While the Grammy winner never publicly addressed her July split from the real estate broker, fans have a renewed interest after listening to her new album Eternal Sunshine. The March 8 album pays homage to the 2005 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—where a former couple erase memories of each other after they break up. The music video “We Can’t Become Friends” recreates a scene from the 2005 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where Clementine, now played by Ariana, erases memories of her former lover. Fans were quick to connect the dots. One user commented on YouTube: “You can tell that this was not just her being an actress.” You can feel her raw emotions so deeply.” One fan explained on X that the song may be referencing a tribute to Dalton’s birthdate. After watching the video, a fan asked: “Is ‘We Can’t Be Friends’ about Ariana & Dalton? “
E! News has reached out to Ariana’s representatives and has not heard back.
