Let’s learn more about the Ariana Grande brother, who refers to her as the “best sister anyone could ask for.” During the April 2024 National Siblings Day celebration, Ariana Grande received an adorable message.

It was from no other person than Frankie himself. “I want to take a moment to thank the BEST sister in the world for being there for me through thick and thin,” he posted via his Instagram account. Frankie, who is also kicking it in the entertainment industry, had more sweet words for the singer.

“I’m eternally proud of you and all the sunshine you continue to spread in this world,” he added. Fans gushed at the message, which reflected how much love existed between the two siblings. But who exactly is Ariana Grande’s brother?

Does Ariana Grande Have a Brother?

Yes, Ariana Grande has a brother called Frankie. Frankie Grande was born on January 24, 1983, to Ariana Grande’s mom, Joan Grande, and Victor Marchione. He spent his early years in Englewood, New Jersey, before relocating with the family to Boca Raton, Florida, at age 10. By this time, Joan had remarried. She married Ed Butera, who became Ariana’s dad.

On June 26, 1994, ten years after Frankie was born, Ariana Grande joined the family. After growing up in the Sunshine State, Frankie and Ariana ventured out. Currently, Frankie shuttles between California and New York, the same as his sister. However, their family is close-knit enough to return home to their grandma, Marjorie Grande. 

One such visit was especially memorable. It was the most recent one in November 2024. It so happened that a Boca Raton theater was showing Ariana Grande’s movie “Wicked.” It was the same theater they grew up visiting and returning there took them on a trip down memory lane. 

Who is Ariana Grande’s Brother?

Like his multiple award-winning songstress sister, Frankie Grande is a skillful entertainer. At 41, Frankie has made his mark in the industry as an established singer, actor, music producer, and social media personality. 

One of the major points of his career was his performances on the Broadway stage in Mamma Mia! From 2007 to 2010. He had a stint in Rock of Ages from 2014 to 2015. In addition, he was on the off-Broadway stage for Cruel Intentions: The ‘90s Musical and Titanique. 

Frankie Grande Has Participated in a Reality TV Show

Besides his Broadway gigs, Frankie tried his hand at reality TV. He was one of the contestants on “Big Brother 16.” But as he journeyed into his career, he tried his best to do without the influence of his celebrity sister. He especially hid his identity from the other contestants in the show, but it was also for his safety.

“I don’t want people knowing that I have a social media following and that Ariana Grande is my sister,” he mentioned before the show. “I feel like both of those things will put an unnecessary target on my back.” However, he had to come out with the revelation later in the show.

Frankie Grande Is Gay and an LGBTQ Advocate 

Another fun fact about Frankie? Ariana Grande’s brother is an active member of the board of GLAAD, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group. In addition, the ever-selfless Ariana Grande brother engages in several philanthropic initiatives. He does these in collaboration with organizations such as the Los Angeles LGBT Center and buildOn.

In addition, to the surprise of many fans, Ariana Grande’s brother is married. He tied the knot with his husband, Hale Leon, a colleague in the performing arts industry, on May 4, 2022. The ceremony happened at his family home in Boca Raton, Florida. Speaking after the marriage, Frankie stated that the event made him feel “wonderful and supported.”

Frankie Grande Is a Successful YouTuber

The talented Ariana Grande brother has also become one of the leading YouTubers. He updates his YouTube channel, which has over 450,000 subscribers, with personal videos, music, and other captivating content. 

Interestingly, he has hosted his famous sister on his YouTube channel in the past. Frankie and Ariana have made a number of videos, ranging from Q&As and music covers to vlog content. One such video was their December 2018 season cover for Seasons of Love from the Rent musical.

How Close Is Ariana Grande and Her Brother?

Ariana Grande shares a strong bond with her brother. Aside from spending quality time together, they’ve also been by each other’s side during the tough times. For example, Ariana was super supportive when Frankie battled with alcohol and drug use disorder. 

It so happened that Frankie suffered psychologically from the Manchester, England, bombing at Ariana’s concert. This incident drove him to alcohol and drugs. He later opened up about his challenge and sought help. Consequently, he embarked on a sobriety journey that had him celebrating one year without substances in June 2018.

During his celebration, he took to X, formerly Twitter, where he thanked his sister for having his back through the phase. “U selflessly were there for me the moment i asked, as u were for so many people during that difficult time,” he stated. “i love u. i can’t thank u enough.”
