In times of hardships, there was no safer place than a familiar ground which was why the "Side to Side" hitmaker sought refuge in the loving arms of her family. A source revealed the entertainer's plans to return to the US.
The Florida native has been stuck in the UK for months, working diligently on her role as Glinda in the movie adaptation of the musical "Wicked." She received an unexpected blessing from the Hollywood actors’ strike, which halted filming. However, the Grammy winner has reportedly finished all her scenes.
With nothing else keeping her in the country, the "7 Rings" singer is free to travel home to receive the love of her family following the attention on her divorce. "Ariana is scheduled to fly out of the UK on Thursday," the insider revealed.
"She is going home to see her friends and family as the scrutiny about her failed marriage increases," the source explained to The U.S. Sun, noting the multi-hyphenate star wished to deal with her separation from Gomez with her loved ones. In the informant's words:
"Ariana wants to step out of the spotlight and spend time with the people who mean the most to her, who will support her through this difficult time."

As mentioned above, sources connected to the former couple have been sharing details about the pair's separation. Insiders revealed what occurred in the months before the lovebirds' decision to split and how Gomez allegedly moved on with other women.
According to the informants, the pair began experiencing problems following the removal of the Covid-19 restrictions. After the pandemic made the duo each other's biggest supporters, being thrust into the celebrity life was not an easy change for the real estate agent.
The low-key entrepreneur was reportedly overwhelmed by his lover's busy schedules, the ever-nosy paparazzi, and the job offers that took the Florida beauty out of their Los Angeles home.
Gomez sometimes questioned the need for security whenever they stepped out, not understanding that Grande's A-list status required her to have bodyguards in public. The differences in the pair's lives soon became alarmingly evident, and they became estranged by January 2023.
Despite living separate lives for months, they tried reconciling in May. Unfortunately, the couple lasted two weeks together before permanently ending their union. During their time apart, Gomez dated other people, a move the Nickelodeon alum was allegedly "fine" with.
