Ariana Grande Joins Meet the Parents 4 Cast

Ariana Grande to Star in Meet the Parents 4 with Ben Stiller & Robert De Niro

Pop sensation and Oscar-nominated actress Ariana Grande has officially joined the cast of Meet the Parents 4. She’ll be starring alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, who are set to return as Greg Focker and Jack Byrnes in the latest installment of the beloved comedy franchise.

Grande plays the fiancée of Greg and Pam’s now-adult son. Her character is described as strong-willed and bold—someone who may seem like the wrong match at first glance, leading to classic family chaos and awkward moments. This will be Grande’s first major role since playing Glinda in the upcoming Wicked movie.
