Cynthia Erivo typically keeps her personal life private, avoiding discussions about her relationships. Despite her efforts to maintain discretion, rumors of an affair have clung to her, impacting her reputation over the years.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Erivo elaborated on her choice to keep her relationship details to herself. She embraces her identity as a queer icon and feels that she shares enough of her life through her work, allowing her the right to maintain some privacy regarding her romances.
Previously, Erivo was romantically linked to Dean John-Wilson and later had a two-year relationship with Mario Martinez. Currently, speculation surrounds her rumored connection with producer Lena Waithe, although they have not made any official announcements about their relationship’s nature.
Is Cynthia the reason why Lena Waithe divorced her wife?
When Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe first met, Waithe was still engaged to Alana Mayo. Their relationship started with an engagement in 2017, followed by a secret marriage announcement in 2020, shortly before they filed for divorce just two months later. This timing raised eyebrows as rumors about Erivo and Waithe began to circulate.
Rumors suggest that Waithe’s marriage to Mayo may have been an attempt to mend past infidelities. Reports claim that even during their marriage, Waithe was gifting expensive items to other women, including luxury brands. Around the same period, it was said that Erivo and Waithe began cohabiting.
While the true narrative remains unclear, it’s known that Erivo and Waithe’s friendship blossomed since 2018, evolving into something more evident by 2022. Erivo publicly celebrated Waithe’s birthday with a heartfelt message that hinted at deeper feelings, leaving much to interpretation until they choose to confirm their relationship.
