Ariana Grande Just Detailed The Wholesome Loophole Her Mom Found To Get Around A Rule That Parents Couldn’t Stay For Rehearsals When Ari Was In Stage Shows As A Kid
Ariana Grande has revealed just how dedicated her mom, Joan Grande, was to keeping a close eye on her when she pursued acting as a child.
In fact, Ariana said that Joan refused to leave her alone for rehearsals when she was as young as eight, and to get around the rules about this, Joan would get herself cast in the same productions so that she could stay.
“Usually they were like: ‘No parents, we’ll see you after pick up,’” she clarified. “And [Joan] was like: ‘I’ll play the apple seller in Annie; apples! Apples! Who wants apples?’”
While the host wondered if this was a good thing, Ari insisted that it was “great” because of her young age — and the people of the internet agree, with many praising Joan for keeping her young daughter close.
Ariana is incredibly close to her family, and she regularly attends red carpet events with Joan, her brother Frankie Grande, and even her beloved “Nonna,” who has taken a step back from the spotlight in recent months — no doubt due to her recently turning 99 years old.
What do you make of Joan’s approach to keeping an eye on little Ariana during rehearsals? Let me know in the comments!
