When Lena Waithe parted ways from her wife Alana Mayo, rumors were rife that she was carrying on extramarital affairs with other women, most notably with “Harriet” actor Cynthia Erivo. In addition to being seen on red carpet events and awards shows together, a report from Bossip claimed that the two stars were romantically involved and are, in fact, already sharing a home together.
To recall, Waithe and Erivo first crossed paths at the Met Gala in May 2018, during which Erivo took to Instagram to give a special shoutout to her “sister.” “I finally found my sis,” she wrote. “Lena you are absolutely everything. You are perfection. What a meeting of minds, glad to have you in my life! Stuck like glue!!! SHINE QUEEN SHINE!!”

In 2020, just days before she and her wife would drop the bombshell that is their divorce, Waithe also talked about “vibing” with Erivo in an interview with Variety at the Palm Springs Film Festival. “I obviously watched her career grow so I was so excited to meet her at The Met,” she said of Erivo. “We exchanged information, and we’ve just been vibing ever since.”
