Ariana Grande’s engaged
Her fiance is a luxury real estate agent; she posts ring pics on Instagram.
Ariana Grande announced she is engaged in a series of photos of her and her fiance and her engagement ring.
The “Rain on Me” singer posted the photos of her cuddling with Dalton Gomez, a luxury real estate agent, on Instagram on Sunday. Grande included a close-up shot of the ring in the post, which was captioned “forever n then some.”
The singer’s mother congratulated the couple on Twitter, saying she is excited to welcome Gomez to the family.
People magazine reported Grande and Gomez started dating earlier this year.
Grande released her latest studio album, “Positions,” in November. On Monday, Netflix will release a behind-the-scenes movie on her “Sweetener” world tour, titled “excuse me, i love you.”
She was previously engaged to “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson in 2018, but they ended their relationship later that year.

Carrey out as Biden on ‘SNL’
It was with some fanfare that “Saturday Night Live” announced in the fall that it had recruited Jim Carrey to play former Vice President Joe Biden, then the Democratic presidential nominee and now president-elect. At the time, “SNL” creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels went so far as to say that Carrey’s perfor
mance would be “stunning, and possibly transcend comedy.”
But Carrey’s exit from the role, which he had not played since November, was more subdued. In a tweet posted Saturday afternoon, Carrey wrote that his time playing Biden “was only meant to be 6 weeks” and that although he considered the assignment to be “comedy’s highest call of duty,” he was “just one in a long line of proud, fighting SNL Bidens!” (As longtime viewers know, the part had
previously been played by cast members and guest stars including Jason Sudeikis, Woody Harrelson and John Mulaney.)
And by Saturday night, “SNL” had already lined up another cast member, Alex Moffat, to play Biden in the show’s opening sketch.
