Meanwhile, Ariana and Ethan’s romance continues to draw scrutiny.
“We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person,” she said on the Feb. 26 episode of The Zach Sang Show. “We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance. Like, they don’t leave space for that—well, they do for their friends and their family. It’s selective. But they turn it off when that aligns with the version of a person that they have in their head that they want to believe is true.”
The “Problem” singer continued, “there’s an insatiable frustration, inexplicable, hellish feeling with watching people misunderstand the people you love, and you and anything.”
Ariana’s brother Frankie Grande is singing Ethan’s praises. “I love him,” Frankie told TooFab in an interview published June 5. “He’s a very sweet guy.”
The Big Brother alum, who has appeared on Broadway himself, added that he’s been a “big fan” of Ethan ever since seeing him in The SpongeBob Musical, which ran from 2017 to 2018.
“All I want is for my sister to be happy,” he added. “When she’s happy, I’m happy. So, I’m very happy.”
