Frankie Grande, brother to the renowned pop sensation Ariana Grande, is shedding light on her blossoming romance with Ethan Slater, her co-star from the hit musical “Wicked.”
Last year, Ariana, 30, and Ethan, 32, found solace and companionship in each other following the end of their respective relationships with Dalton Gomez and Lilly Jay. Their chemistry both on and off the stage sparked speculation and intrigue among fans and onlookers alike.
In a recent conversation with TooFab, Frankie Grande opened up about his feelings towards Ethan, expressing genuine fondness and admiration for his sister’s new beau. “I love him, he’s a very sweet guy,” Frankie shared. “I’ve been a fan of him ever since seeing him in SpongeBob [the musical on Broadway]. And I got to interview him when I was doing the SpongeBob SquarePants podcast.”
Reflecting on the tight-knit bond within the Broadway community, Frankie emphasized the warmth and camaraderie shared among its members. Ethan’s presence and personality left a lasting impression on him, prompting Frankie to describe him as a “wonderful guy” and commend his genuine kindness. “He’s very sweet. He’s very, very, very sweet. I just, I adore him,” Frankie enthused.
Above all, Frankie’s primary concern is his sister’s happiness. “All I want is for my sister to be happy,” he affirmed. “And when she’s happy I’m happy. So I’m very happy.”
Last summer, Ariana and Ethan’s relationship came under intense scrutiny when news of their romance surfaced. At the time, Ethan and his former wife were navigating a separation, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. Despite the public scrutiny, Ariana and Ethan remained steadfast in their bond, navigating the challenges with grace and resilience.
