Frankie Grande, Ariana Grande’s brother, has parted ways from his throuple after two months of dating.

Grande, 36, revealed to Us Weekly that he and married couple Daniel Sinasohn and Mike Pophis are no longer together.

“I am single. I’ve been single for about a month now,” Grande, 36, told Us Weekly. “It’s really good. I’m super grateful for my last relationship. I grew so much in it, and at the same time, it wasn’t working out anymore. I’m super glad that we decided to end things amicably. And that we can all remain friends … that’s the important thing.”

He says being part of a throuple is “so complicated.”

“You have double the highs, double the excitement … but also double the lows, double the drama,” Grande says.

However, Grande has nothing but positive vibes towards his exes.

“Thank you, next! I’m so bleepin’ grateful for my exes,” Grande said in reference to Ariana’s hit single “thank u, next.”

Grande previously shared that his favorite part of dating Sinasohn was “his dick” but added he is also “very smart. So is Mike, Mike is also very smart.”

“Mike and Daniel are both extraordinary people and I think the world of them. Each of them complete me in different ways and I am honored to be in this very special, very fun relationship,” Grande said of their relationship at the time.
