As per harper bazaar of 14 December 2016, Frankie shared Ariana's response to Attitude magazine after his confession. He said,
There's a 10-year age gap and I came out to her when she was just 11 years old — and she said: 'Great, when do I get to meet your boyfriend?'
Ariana was only 11 years old at that time. As per Frankie, she accepted him for who he is and took his confession casually because they were raised in an open-minded family environment.
