Father-Daughter relationship
The father-daughter relationship, Edward and Ariana, has evolved over the years. Back in 2014, when Ariana mentioned her falling out with her dad a year prior, to Seventeen magazine- she said it was the hardest time in her life. It was hard for her to accept loving her dad even without getting along for a long time. She also added as Edward was her dad she had a lot of traits from him and didn’t like that about herself.
Later in 2016, Ariana mentioned she hadn’t seen much of her father still but still loved him.
2017 father’s day Ariana posted that read “Happy Father’s Day, I love you,” which made her fans think her relationship with her father was finally healing, which wasn’t the scenario.
After 18 years finally, Ariana was celebrating Thanksgiving in the presence of both her parents. Their bond is rebuilding, all because of them keeping their issues aside and doing what’s best.
