Cynthia Erivo Addressed Her Relationship With Ariana Grande Amid ‘Strange Fascination’ From the Public

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande attend the 2024 Met Gala.
  • Cynthia Erivo has spoken out about the "strange fascination" with her relationship with Wicked co-star Ariana Grande in a recent interview.
  • "At first, I think people didn't understand how it was possible for two women to be friends - close - and not lovers,” Erivo explained to Stylist Magazine.
  • "People either thought we were putting it on for the cameras or that we were lovers," she continued. "And I think it’s because there’s such little conversation around platonic female friendship that is deep and real."

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande continue to make headlines, with both A-listers nominated this award season for their starring roles in 2025 release, Wicked: For Good.
