Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater were recently spotted enjoying a date night together at the Stanley Cup Final, but it was her brother Frankie Grande who stole the spotlight with his latest Instagram post. The “Big Brother” alum revealed he had undergone a rhinoplasty operation, sharing a candid photo of his bandaged nose and bruised eyes on July 6. The 41-year-old humorously captioned the image, “New nose. Who dis?”
Fans were quick to show their support, but none more so than Ariana herself. The 31-year-old pop star commented, “perfect in all ways, always !!!!” This public display of sibling love is just one example of the close bond the Grande siblings share. Frankie, who has been married to Hale Leon since 2022, has often spoken about how emotional it was for both him and Ariana when she landed the role of Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of the musical “Wicked.”
“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 last year. “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.”
Frankie, a Broadway star himself, has also expressed his admiration for Ariana’s new boyfriend, Ethan Slater, who is also her co-star in “Wicked.” “I love him,” Frankie told TooFab in June. “He’s a very sweet guy.” Frankie has been a fan of Ethan since he interviewed him during his time starring in “The SpongeBob Musical” on Broadway. More importantly, Frankie is just grateful that Ariana has found someone who makes her happy. “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.”
Frankie’s openness about his rhinoplasty is part of a broader trend of celebrities being candid about their plastic surgery experiences. For instance, “The Real Housewives of Dubai” star Caroline Stanbury publicly documented her face lift and recovery on social media. Similarly, Gypsy Rose Blanchard underwent a rhinoplasty and septoplasty in April 2024, three months after her release from prison.
Other celebrities like Brandi Glanville, Jill Zarin, and Brittany Cartwright have also been open about their cosmetic procedures. Brandi has spoken about her nose job, breast implants, and Botox, while Jill shared her experience with a lower facelift and fat transplant. Brittany revealed she had facial liposuction to address her “turkey gobbler,” a trait that runs in her family.
Even lifestyle expert Martha Stewart has confessed to getting Botox, fillers, and laser treatments to maintain her youthful appearance. “I don’t think a lot about age,” she explained, “but I don’t want to look my age.”
Tori Spelling, Lady Gaga, and Bethenny Frankel are among other celebrities who have been candid about their cosmetic enhancements. Tori has spoken about her nose job and breast implants, while Lady Gaga admitted to being obsessed with facial injections during a phase in her life. Bethenny, on the other hand, got breast implants in 2005 but had them removed in 2008, stating, “Now I feel comfortable.”
Olivia Colman, Julie Chen, and Jamie Lee Curtis have also shared their experiences with cosmetic procedures. Olivia is a fan of Botox, Julie had surgery to make her eyes look bigger early in her career, and Jamie Lee Curtis has tried a bit of everything, from plastic surgery to Botox and liposuction.
Jennifer Aniston, NeNe Leakes, and Kim Zolciak have also been open about their cosmetic journeys. Jennifer had a deviated septum fixed, NeNe revealed she had a nose job, breast lift, and liposuction, and Kim Zolciak has been an open book about her various procedures, including a tummy tuck and lip injections.
Lisa Rinna, Heidi Montag, and Iggy Azalea are other celebrities who have shared their cosmetic experiences. Lisa had her lips injected with silicone at age 24 and later had some filler removed. Heidi underwent a head-to-toe transformation with 10 cosmetic procedures in one day, and Iggy revealed she got breast implants.
Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian, and Kristin Cavallari have also been candid about their cosmetic enhancements. Tyra admitted to having her nose done early in her career, Kim has gotten Botox and other beauty treatments, and Kristin had a breast lift after breastfeeding her three kids.
John Stamos, Sia, and Nicki Minaj have also shared their experiences. John had two nose jobs, Sia got a facelift, and Nicki recently had a breast reduction, which she loves.
Vanessa Williams, Kim Cattrall, and Blac Chyna have also been open about their cosmetic procedures. Vanessa gets Botox, Kim uses fillers and Botox, and Blac Chyna underwent several procedures, including breast and butt reduction surgery.
Genevieve Padalecki, Kathy Griffin, and other celebrities have also shared their cosmetic journeys. Genevieve had a breast augmentation and later had her implants removed, while Kathy documented her lip tattooing experience.
In a world where cosmetic enhancements are often kept secret, it’s refreshing to see celebrities like Frankie Grande and others being open about their experiences. It not only normalizes the conversation around plastic surgery but also helps fans understand that even their favorite stars have insecurities and take steps to address them.
