Ariana Grande’s Brother Frankie Promises to Stand by Her as She Plans Break From Spotlight

Frankie Grande has shown his support for his sister Ariana Grande after the pop star revealed plans to take a break from the spotlight following her current tour.

The 43-year-old dancer shared a video on Instagram of Ariana performing “One Last Time” during her Eternal Sunshine tour stop in Chicago, accompanied by an emotional message celebrating his sister and her musical journey.

“Family forever,” Frankie wrote. “I will have your back until the end of time. I am so proud of you and so happy for you.”

He also described the Chicago show as a special celebration of Ariana’s artistry and the community she has built around her music, saying he was grateful to have witnessed what he described as her final performance on the tour in the city.

In the video, Frankie watched his sister perform alongside their mother, Joan Grande, who was seen resting her head on his shoulder.

Ariana is scheduled to resume the tour in London on August 15, with performances at the O2 Arena running until September 1.

After completing the tour, the Grammy winner plans to step away from public-facing work following what her representative described as “endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”

The singer has faced continued public commentary about her appearance and weight, while an insider described her recent schedule as demanding.

Ariana has also withdrawn from the planned London production of Sunday in the Park with George, which is expected to open in 2027.
