Ariana-Dalton to Kim-Kanye: CHEAPEST celeb divorces

Celebrity divorces often make headlines for their astronomical settlements and bitter legal battles. However, not all high-profile breakups end with jaw-dropping payouts and public feuds. We delve into some of the surprisingly inexpensive celebrity divorces, where stars managed to separate without breaking the bank. From Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomes to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, here's a look at the cheapest celebrity divorces in recent years.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomes officially parted ways in February 2023. In a rather amicable split, they managed to work out the details before heading to the courthouse. Ariana, according to TMZ, will "cut a check" to Dalton, providing him with a lump-sum payment of $1,250,000, which is tax-free. Additionally, Dalton will receive half of the net proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home. Notably, Ariana has also agreed to cover up to $25,000 of Dalton's attorney fees. This divorce showcases how a prenuptial agreement can simplify the process and keep the financial fallout relatively modest.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West went their separate ways with a divorce settlement that raised eyebrows for different reasons. While the monthly child support payments from Ye to Kim amount to a substantial $200,000, there is no spousal support involved. The couple decided to share the costs of their children's private security, private schooling, and university expenses.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's divorce proceedings were notably smooth, thanks to a well-crafted prenuptial agreement. The absence of children simplified the process further, and Miley retained custody of their animals. With no significant property disputes, their divorce was wrapped up efficiently. The prenuptial agreement ensured that the division of assets proceeded without major hitches, making it one of the quickest and least costly celebrity divorces.

Actress Kaley Cuoco and professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting called it quits after just 21 months of marriage. Kaley initiated the divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." Fortunately, they had a prenuptial agreement in place, which streamlined the settlement process. They attended a court hearing to divide their assets, and the final settlement amounted to $165,000.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette's divorce was a prime example of how some couples can transition seamlessly from spouses to friends. Married in 1999 and separated in 2010, they continued to be very good friends even after the divorce was finalized. Their divorce settlement was straightforward and amicable, with no contentious disputes. Both stars went on to marry other people, but continued their joint professional ventures.
