Frankie Grande, whose real name is Frank James Michael Grande Marchione, is also an entertainer. He has made his mark in the entertainment arena as a dancer and actor, as well as a host of others. Frankie, who is openly gay, is Ariana Grande’s half-brother. Initially, he wanted to become a doctor but changed course just before med school.

Frankie is known to share a very cordial relationship with Ariana. But his relationship with her boyfriend, Slater, came into focus during the award ceremony. Both men hung out together, beaming with smiles throughout the event. They also posed for photographs together in their posh outfits. 

Frankie, 41, put on a sequin blazer which glittered under the lights. He also put on his usual black-eye makeup. On his part, Slater, 32, was dressed in a classic black suit, which he held while posing for the photograph. They were both there to watch and cheer Ariana pick up her Rising Star Award for her performance in the 2024 blockbuster movie “Wicked.”

Ariana herself smiled at the red carpet section of the event as she bagged yet another notable award in her rich collection. She looked dashing in her large, strapless white satin gown, which had a balloon shape. She gathered her hair tightly and wore pointed white heels and a diamond choker.

Do Ariana Grande’s Boyfriend and Brother Get Along?

Ariana Grande’s brother, Frankie Grande, and her boyfriend, Ethan Slater, seem to be happy with each other. Despite the fear that Frankie would be displeased with the massive controversy the recently divorced Ethan has added to his sister’s life and career, he seemed pleased to relate with him.

Frankie Grande has also expressed his approval for Ariana’s relationship with Ethan. In a June interview he granted to entertainment journalists, Frankie disclosed that he was a “big fan” of his sister and her romance with Ethan. “I love him. He’s a very sweet guy,” he stated. 

Frankie also stated that he admired Ethan Slater’s talent. He revealed that he first fell in love with Ethan after watching his performance in “The Spongebob” Musical. Frankie also interviewed Ethan once during his time on the “Spongebob Squarepants” podcast.

Besides that, Frankie also chipped in the fact that his closeness to his sister is a factor in his relationship with her boyfriend. “Honestly, I’ve always just said this: all I want is for my sister to be happy. When she’s happy, I’m happy. So, I’m very happy,” he added.

Who Is Ariana Grande’s Brother?

Ariana Grande’s brother is a jack of all trades. He is a dancer, singer, actor, producer, and television host. He is also a top content creator on YouTube. Ten years older than Ariana, Frankie Grande was born on January 24, 1983, to Ariana’s mom, Joan Grande.

But they don’t share the same dad. While Ariana’s dad is Edward Butera, Frankie’s father is Victor Marchione. Frankie grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, till he was ten. Afterward, the family moved to Boca Raton, Florida. Around this time, his mom split from his father and married Ariana’s dad, Butera. 

Frankie and Ariana shared a cordial relationship growing up. They moved from Florida together and now reside in both New York and California. The siblings have been vocal about their closeness on social media, posting numerous photos together. 

But Frankie hasn’t been folding his hands and feeding off his sister’s popularity. He has been doing quite well for himself, too. He made it to the Broadway stage with Mamma Mia! From 207 to 2010. Frankie also took part in Rock of Ages from 2014 to 2015. Aside from Broadway, he also featured in Titanique and Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical.

Is Ariana Grande’s Brother Gay?

Ariana Grande’s brother, Frankie Grande, is openly gay. The singer’s only sibling found out about his identity at the age of 11. He also found the knowledge to come out with it early. Interestingly, Frankie began to date a married couple—Mike Pophis and Daniel Sonasohn in the late 2010s. 

In 2018, he opened up about the relationship, stating that he had been single for nine years before the relationship began. Frankie revealed that he met Daniel and Mike at a charity gala. He described their relationship as an “ethical and committed non-monogamy.”

He said, “Everyone know what’s going on, there’s no cheating, we’re actually in it together. I say it’s like a triangle, which is the strongest shape. There’s three people in it so we can all pick up the things and the slack.”

After he ended the relationship in 2019, he described it as an “interesting experience.” Afterward, he tied the knot with American actor Hale Leon, who is also a friend of Ariana Grande, in 2022. The wedding was held in his family home in Boca Raton, Florida. He has continued to be a great companion to his sister.
