Frankie, who is 36, also posted his own message to mark the occasion while saying in part that he’s happy being able to feel both the highs and lows in his life.
“Over the past 20 months i have felt loss but i have also felt love,” he wrote “i felt joy but i also felt grief. but the bottom line is… i felt. and that is such a gift.”
Grande’s ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller died of an apparent overdose in 2018 and Frankie revealed that the late rapper helped him gather the strength to go to rehab.
“He was the reason I went to the rehabilitation center where I was detoxed safely from all of the drugs alcohol and medications I was taking, when I couldn’t imagine living without them.”
