Ariana Grande-Butera was born in 1993 in Boca Raton, Florida, United States. She is of Italian descent, with her heritage tracing back to both the Sicilian and Abruzzese regions. Her parents, Joan Grande and Edward Butera, relocated from New York to Florida before she was born.
Ariana’s mother, Joan Grande, is the CEO of a company that manufactures communication equipment for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Her father, Edward Butera, born in 1958, is a graphic designer and founder of IBI Designs Inc. Ariana’s parents separated when she was approximately eight years old.
Ariana has an older half-brother, Frank James Michael Grande Marchione, known professionally as Frankie Grande. He is a producer and musical theatre actor and gained additional visibility as a contestant on the 16th season of Big Brother.
Grande is known to be an animal lover and has adopted several dogs, including Sirius Black, Cinnamon, Fawkes, Ophelia, Toulouse, and Coco. Sirius Black, adopted in 2015, was named after the Harry Potter character and has dark fur, which influenced the name choice.
Although she was named after Princess Oriana from Felix the Cat, Ariana is allergic to cats—as well as bananas. She follows a vegan lifestyle and avoids all animal products. Her fanbase refers to themselves as "Arianators," though she once suggested the name “the Loves,” which did not gain popularity.
Among her personal traits and quirks, she has a birthmark on her left shoulder and a dimple on her left cheek. She is 155 cm tall and attended Pine Crest School followed by North Broward Preparatory School.
