"Nonna was just trying to figure it out," Grande told Poehler. She was "very accepting, very loving, very celebratory. But she was just trying to figure it out. Because she couldn't believe it. You know, in her mind, he had plenty of girlfriends." "So, she goes, 'Frankie, have you seen a pair of breasts?'" Grande continued, imitating her grandmother's Brooklyn accent. "And he was like, 'Yeah. Yeah, Nonna, I've seen breasts, yeah.' And she goes, 'Didn't do anything for you?' He was like, 'No, Nonna. No.' And she's like, 'Well, you're gay.'"
"It's definitely a challenging conversation to have at first," she explained. "But then once they got to know him and saw who he is as a man and his character and how much he adores me, I think it became quite easy for them. And now we're all friends." She went on to note: "My husband has such respect for my parents and the way they raised me, and we have a lot of fun together when they come to visit."
