A Los Angeles Superior Court judgment on Tuesday finalised the split between the 30-year-old pop star and the 28-year-old real estate broker.

Under their settlement, Grande will make a one-time payment of $1.25m (£980,000) to Mr Gomez.

Grande filed for divorce six months ago, citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple's relationship began in January 2020 shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic, and they wed in a "tiny and intimate" ceremony at her home in Montecito, California, in May 2021.

The actor is best known for his title role in "Spongebob SquarePants: the Broadway musical" and has been married to Lilly Jay since July 24, 2023.
