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.”
