However, Butera divorced Grande’s mother, Joan Grande, when the singer was just eight years old. Butera was born and reared in Boca Raton, Florida.
In 2014, Grande revealed to Seventeen that she had lost communication with her father the previous year.
This is just one example of the ups and downs that accompany the relationship between the ‘thank u, next’ hitmaker and her father.
“I am beginning to lose contact with my father,” she said. This is a private matter, although it took place a year ago. It took me a very long time to come to terms with them.
The realization that I am composed of half of my father and that a significant number of my characteristics are inherited from him was the catalyst that led me to this point.
For a very long time, I was unhappy with the fact that my father is the source of a significant portion of my identity. I had to come to terms with the fact that it is OK to not get along with someone while yet loving them.
