Ethan Slater doesn’t need to wait for Frankie Grande‘s love.
In fact, the Broadway actor has already received a seal of approval from Ariana Grande‘s big brother, who shared that he’s a “big fan” of her Wicked costar and their relationship.
“I love him,” Frankie told TooFab in an interview published June 5. “He’s a very sweet guy.”
The 41-year-old added that he’s been a “big fan” of Ethan ever since seeing him in The SpongeBob Musical, which ran from 2017 to 2018.
“And I got to interview him when I was doing the SpongeBob SquarePants podcast,” continued Frankie, who himself has starred in Broadway productions of Mamma Mia! and Rock of Ages. “And the Broadway community is a tight-knit family.”
Besides, as Frankie put it, the real test of Ethan’s character came down to how his sister feels about him.
“Honestly, I’ve always just said this, all I want is for my sister to be happy,” he explained. “When she’s happy, I’m happy. So, I’m very happy.”
