Cynthia Erivo is setting the record straight after months of speculation that she and Ariana Grande were more than just Wicked co-stars.
During the press tour for Wicked, fans analyzed every interaction between the two, with some suggesting a romantic connection based on their closeness.
In a recent interview, Cynthia addressed the speculation surrounding their friendship, emphasizing that their bond is purely platonic. She explained that their connection while portraying Elphaba and Glinda was professional and not romantic.
Despite the rumors, Ariana is in a relationship with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, which has been public since the film’s production began.
On the other hand, Cynthia prefers to keep her personal life private but has been in a long-term relationship with actress and producer Lena Waithe.
In conclusion, there is no hidden romance between Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, just a strong friendship that was misconstrued amidst the buzz of a viral press tour.
