Frankie Grande just introduced the internet to his two boyfriends — and they’re married to each other.

Frankie Grande, the Broadway performer, YouTube star, and older half-brother of Ariana Grande, has confirmed he’s dating a married couple. The 35-year-old went public with the relationship after stepping out with both men at one of Hollywood’s biggest annual costume parties, and he’s since laid out exactly how the arrangement works in his own words.

• Grande introduced Daniel Sinasohn and Mike Pophis as his boyfriends at Heidi Klum’s 19th Annual Halloween Party in New York City on October 31, 2018, where the trio wore matching galactic costumes.
• Sinasohn, a registered nurse and attorney, and Pophis, a doctor, were already legally married to each other before the three formed their relationship.
• Grande told Us Weekly the couple had been dating him for roughly three months, joking that “in the gay world, it’s like five years.”

The Throuple Goes Public

Frankie Grande has never been shy about his personal life — between his run on Big Brother, his stage career, and his YouTube channel, he’s built a following on being candid. So when he showed up to Heidi Klum’s Halloween bash with two men on his arm instead of one, it didn’t take long for the story to travel. The party, held annually in New York City, is a magnet for red-carpet coverage, and Grande’s coordinated galactic costume with Sinasohn and Pophis gave photographers exactly the kind of moment that gets picked up everywhere.

From there, Grande went to the press directly rather than letting the photos do all the talking. Speaking with Us Weekly, he confirmed the relationship was real, named both men, and explained the timeline: about three months of dating heading into the Halloween party.

Profiles of Sinasohn and Pophis

Daniel Sinasohn works as a registered nurse and attorney, while Mike Pophis is a doctor. The two were married to each other before Grande entered the picture, meaning the “throuple” — Grande’s own term for it — formed around an already-established marriage rather than three people starting from scratch. That detail is part of why the arrangement drew so much attention: it’s not a typical open-relationship story, it’s a performer publicly joining a couple’s marriage as a third partner.

“These are my boyfriends… we’ve been dating for almost three months, but in the gay world, it’s like five years.”

Grande’s Take On Making It Work

Grande didn’t frame the relationship as complicated. He told reporters the dynamic runs smoothly because each of the three brings something different to the partnership, and he credited open communication as the thing that keeps it functional. It’s the same directness he’s shown discussing other parts of his life — no hedging, no vague language, just a straightforward explanation of who’s dating whom and how long it’s been going on.

Coverage of unconventional celebrity relationships tends to draw the same split reaction every time, something readers have seen play out with pieces like Megan Fox’s relationship history or Jason Momoa’s relationship with Zoe Kravitz — plenty of curiosity, plenty of opinions, and a famous last name attached to all of it. Grande’s situation is no different, except this time it’s his own sister’s fame doing a lot of the amplifying.

Grande hasn’t shied away from being asked about it since — if anything, he’s leaned into explaining the setup rather than letting tabloids fill in the blanks. Three months in as of Halloween, married doctor and nurse-attorney on his arm, and a one-liner about gay-years math that’s already the most quoted part of the whole story.
