On 22 May 2017, an Islamist extremist suicide bomber detonated a shrapnel-laden homemade bomb as people were leaving the Manchester Arena following a concert by American singer Ariana Grande. The pop star had just finished playing at the venue on 22 May, 2017, when a terrorist detonated a homemade explosive device, killing 22 people. Twenty-three people died, including the attacker, and 1,017 were injured, some of them children. Several hundred more suffered psychological trauma. The bomber was Salman Ramadan Abedi, a 22-year-old local man of Libyan ancestry. After initial suspicions of a terrorist network, police later said they believed Abedi had largely acted alone but that others had been aware of his plans. In March 2020, the bomber's brother, Hashem Abedi, was found guilty of 22 counts of murder relating to the attack. The incident was the deadliest terrorist attack and the first suicide bombing in the United Kingdom since the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Ariana Grande has sent a heartfelt message to fans ahead of the third anniversary of the Manchester Arena bombing. Writing on Instagram, Grande shared a message of solidarity with the victims.

One Love Manchester was a benefit concert and British television special held on 4 June 2017, which was organised by American singer Ariana Grande, Simon Moran, Melvin Benn and Scooter Braun in response to the bombing after Grande's concert at Manchester Arena two weeks earlier. The concert took place at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, and aired live on BBC One in the UK with hosts Sara Cox and Ore Oduba. The concert was attended by 55,000 people. Guest stars included Justin Bieber, the Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Mac Miller, Marcus Mumford, Niall Horan, Little Mix, Katy Perry, Take That, Imogen Heap, Pharrell Williams, Robbie Williams and Liam Gallagher.
Proceeds from the event benefit the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was established by the Manchester City Council and the British Red Cross following the 22 May bombing, which killed 22 concert goers and injured more than 500. The funds will go to help the victims and their families. The British Red Cross reported it received more than £10 million in donations in the 12 hours following the concert. Despite time zone differences, networks from at least 50 countries broadcast the concert live, which was simultaneously streamed live on various platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
On June 11, 2018, it was revealed Ariana and her boyfriend Pete Davidson had got engaged. News of the engagement came just weeks after it emerged she'd split from Mac Miller. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson redefined the idea of a "rebound relationship" for the rest of eternity. Mere weeks after splitting up with longtime partners - and just 24 days after initial reports claimed the two were "casually dating" - it was reported and later confirmed that the two stars were engaged to each other. Less than five months later, the couple had called it quits. According to fans who attended Davidson's surprise stand-up show on July 21, 2018, he confirmed that the couple originally met in 2014 and became closer when Grande hosted "SNL" two years later.
Unfortunately, Mac Miller was found dead at his San Fernando Valley, California, home on Sept. 7, 2018. The rapper died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol, according to the toxicology report released by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office. In 2019, three men were charged in connection to Miller's death. What was the reason for Ariana and Pete's break-up? Opening up in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Pete revealed he knew their relationship was over when the tragic news broke that Ariana's ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller, had died. He said: "I was like, 'Listen, I get it, do whatever you've got to do, I'll be here.' Ariana Grande opened up about their short-lived romance in her August 2019 cover story for Vogue magazine, saying her relationship with Pete Davidson was 'frivolous and fun' and 'highly unrealistic'.
Ariana and Dalton have allegedly been dating since January 2020, and was spotted kissing a 'mystery man' - which turned out to be him - just a month later! The couple ended up quarantining together during the first lockdown, which is when they took their romance to the next level. May 15, 2021, Ariana Grande secretly made one of the biggest moves of her life: She married her fiancé and partner, who have been together for over a year, Los Angeles real estate Agent Dalton Gomez. The two got engaged just ahead of the Christmas holiday, less than a year after the two were first seen together in February.
