Frankie Grande's Sweetest Quotes About Sister Ariana Grande

Sibling goals! Ariana Grande and her brother, Frankie, are always supporting each other. The elder of the two Grande siblings always has amazing things to say about his sister and her continued success.

Not to mention, the Big Brother alum has even spilled some major tea on his little sister’s May 2021 wedding to Dalton Gomez. We can always count on Frankie for some seriously heartfelt Ariana content.

“It was gorgeous,” Frankie told HollywoodLife in May 2021 of the intimate at-home ceremony. “It was absolutely beautiful and everyone was so happy. It was such a joyful, joyful occasion.”

The Nickelodeon star added, “I was so happy to be there … She looked absolutely gorgeous and it was a beautiful, beautiful ceremony. I’m just going back there reminiscing in my brain and it was literally, literally a perfect, perfect evening. Dalton’s the best. Love him. Totally, totally part of the Grande clan. Family.”

Aside from spending time together with their significant others (Frankie got engaged to Hale Leon in June 2021), the dynamic sibling duo are always helping each other with their professional endeavors. For example, Frankie teamed up with Hector Navarro to host the “SpongeBob BingePants” podcast and told J-14 exclusively in October 2021 that Ariana wanted to be a special guest on the show.

“Ariana has asked to be a guest on the podcast,” Frankie gushed. “Immediately, she was like, ‘Am I going to be a guest?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, Ariana, of course we would love to have you.’ So, when we get to celebrity fans of SpongeBob, she will be the first on our list. No questions asked.”

The Henry Danger alum also revealed that when they were growing up, he and Ariana spent so much time watching SpongeBob SquarePants.

“A lot of our inside jokes between us and between our friend groups were all SpongeBob related,” he shared. “Like, it was a big, big part of both of our childhoods. … She wasn’t watching TV on Nickelodeon in the ’90s the way that I was, because I was much older. So, you know, I think that she had other different shows on Nickelodeon, but I think the one that bridged our relationship was definitely SpongeBob.”

Of course, their entire sibling relationship isn’t just built off of SpongeBob SquarePants, but it definitely helped strengthen the bond! Scroll through our gallery to read Frankie’s sweetest quotes about his sister, Ariana, over the years.

Proud Brother Moment

After a video of Ariana on the set of Wicked went viral of the songstress performing “No One Mourns the Wicked” in April 2023, Frankie went on a proud sibling rant via Twitter (as he should).

“There are again no words to describe how proud I am of you Ari. FLAWLESS in every way,” he wrote. “You ARE Galinda the Good and this video is ALREADY the best thing I’ve ever seen and it’s from 12 miles away. I’m going to need to be hospitalized when this move comes out cause I’m gonna be a wreck! I’ve already cried 45 times watching this. Ok. That’s all. Bye bubble queen slay the house down!”

Ariana Playing Glinda

“She worked very, very, very, very, very hard on the audition process and she would let me in afterwards and tell me how each one of them went,” Frankie told E! News in March 2023 of his sister’s Wicked role. “I remember when she told me that she booked it, we just both burst into tears together. Because it was something that she had been dreaming of her entire life.”

Birthday Tributes

“To my best friend in the world, happy 27th birthday,” Frankie shared via Instagram in June 2020. “I remember walking into the hospital with Nonna & Grandpa the day you were born and seeing you for the first time … I knew then and there that I would do anything for you for the rest of our lives, and have stood by your side as you have stood by mine ever since. No one makes me laugh like you do, no one pushes me to grow like you do and no one stands up for me the way you do. I will forever be eternally grateful to you for being the greatest sister on the planet and forever strive to be the greatest big brother in return.”

Holidays Together

“We always opened Christmas presents at midnight on Christmas Eve,” he told Us Weekly in July 2019. “Like, it’s not like a, ‘Let’s wake up early’ kind of thing. It’s like, let’s stay up super-duper late, till, like, 4 or 5 a.m., and then sleep until 4 or 5 p.m., wake up on Christmas Day, and then have dinner-slash-breakfast. It’s awesome.”

Coming Out

“I remember being so nervous to tell my little sister,” Frankie recalled in the June 2018 issue of Gay Times. “I was like, ‘I have something to tell you … I’m gay’, and she was like, ‘Cool, do you have a boyfriend?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah’, she was like, ‘Great, when do I get to meet him?’”
