Last month in mid-July, news of Dalton and Ariana’s shocking divorce came to light, however, the former couple reportedly had ended their marriage months earlier in January.

A separate insider informed Us Weekly, ‘Ariana and Dalton have been having some issues for months now.’

The two, ‘were having issues before she left for Wicked filming [in London] that they couldn’t resolve, and the distance did not help. They haven’t been speaking and are speaking, and a divorce is likely.’

While speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Lilly revealed that she has been looking on the positive side and putting her main focus on her baby boy after reportedly being ‘blindsided’ by the split.

‘I am focused on rebuilding a life for our son,’ she explained. ‘This is what I am trying to do and this is my only focus.’

An insider previously told DailyMail.com that, ‘Lilly hung out with Ethan and Ariana so many times. Ariana met their baby and even held him.’
