Dependent Question - Daughter was married on 11/26. She graduated from the university in Aug 2022.

My Daughter was married on 11/26/2022 but before that she was a student at the local university that I footed the bill for in 2022.  In previous years, I was able to claim her as a dependent as she was a full time student in 2021 and was 20 years old. She turned 21 in 2022 and graduated from the university in August 2022.  Since she is married now, I'm assuming I cannot claim her as a dependent one last time. 
 
Should they file married filing separately so I can claim her 1 last time as a dependent
or
Should I just let it go and let them file married filing jointly and I do not claim her as a dependent?
 
I'm just trying to do what's advantageous for us but I don't want to lose out on those university fees that I paid for in 2022 and I still paid for more than 50% of her living expenses as she is living in our home: Water, Mortgage, Car, Auto Insurance, Food, Electricity, Internet, etc...
 
Please advise as we are trying to work thru this together with her and her spouse.
