The buzz around Wicked has been nothing short of electric, and the powerhouse team behind it is running on full steam. Between global premieres, countless collaborations and nonstop press, it feels impossible not to know about the film adaptation of the beloved musical. And let’s be honest—it deserves all the hype. With Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo leading as Glinda and Elphaba, alongside a stacked cast that includes Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh, Peter Dinklage and Bowen Yang, it’s already a cultural moment. Naturally, with all the attention on Wicked comes curiosity about its cast—and their off-screen lives. Grande’s personal life has often been front and center (yes, that includes the recent headlines about her romance with Slater, AKA SpongeBob, following her split from ex-husband Dalton Gomez). But when it comes to Erivo's dating partners? The Broadway star is far more private.
Erivo, who skyrocketed to fame with her Tony- and Grammy-winning performance as Celie in the Broadway production of The Color Purple, tends to keep her personal life under wraps. That said, she’s occasionally shared glimpses into her relationships and recently came out as bisexual, making headlines in her own right.
So, what’s the tea on Cynthia Erivo’s dating life, her partner and her journey with queer identity? Let’s dive in.
