“[Ariana’s] family absolutely loves him and has welcomed him with open arms. Her mom even hung a Christmas stocking on the mantle for him,” our source reveals. Joan has placed Dalton’s stocking right by Ariana’s, as you can see in the photo below. “He fits in so well with the family and they love how happy he makes Ariana,” our source adds.
Ariana’s not just looking forward to spending Christmas with Dalton, but her whole life as well. “Ariana has known Dalton for a few years because they hung in the same social circles,” a second source, who’s close to the “positions” singer, EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife. Although Dalton is not working in entertainment, he has been spotted hanging out with celebrities like Miley Cyrus. Despite their mutual friends, Ariana “never could’ve imagined that one day they would fall in love, get engaged, and are now going to spend the rest of their lives together,” the insider adds.
“Ariana is on cloud nine and there are no words to describe how she feels about this next chapter of her life,” our second source continues. “She couldn’t be more excited and she feels like the luckiest girl in the world. It means the world to Ariana that her family loves him just as much because their blessing means everything to her, and she couldn’t ask for anything more.”
