The rumors are wild today! A user on TikTok just spread some shocking gossip alleging that Broadway star Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe are dating, and that Erivo could be the reason Waithe divorced her former wife, Alana Mayo.
Lena Waithe is an actress, screenwriter, and producer known for creating the show The Chi. She was formerly with Alana Mayo, up until their divorce in 2020. Rumors about Waithe and Erivo dating have been circulating for a while, dating all the way back to 2022 when the two were spotted holding hands at the Alvin Ailey Spirit Gala.

Since then, the two have made numerous social media posts showing them together, often praising one another. In @throuple_pod’s TikTok, the user suggests that Erivo and Waithe’s public relationship began just shortly after Waithe’s divorce, fueling speculation.
The user talks about rumors originating from gossip columnist Love B. Scott that the divorce originated from Waithe’s alleged infidelity. These rumors are unconfirmed, but the pictures of both Waithe and Erivo at public events and galas do tell an intriguing story.
Still, all of these claims are just rumors and gossip, and fans should be careful not to disrespect the two’s boundaries or to assume that any of this is true without firm evidence. After all, it is their decision on whether to disclose anything about their relationship to the public. Their lives are their own business!
