Lena Waithe and Cynthia Erivo have been rumored to be in a little something-something for years now – you know, that thing called a relationship.
However, both women have remained tight-lipped about their personal lives and have not confirmed or denied the rumors.
Fans and media outlets have speculated about the nature of their relationship, with some even suggesting that they may be keeping it under wraps to avoid scrutiny or backlash, HeTexted.com reports.
Despite the speculation, Lena Waithe and Cynthia Erivo continue to focus on their successful careers in the entertainment industry, leaving their personal lives private and out of the spotlight.
You know that old saying, “You can run but you can’t hide”? Well, it seems like someone’s trying to play hide and seek with the truth, but let’s be real – those signs are as clear as day.
We’ll be paying close attention to their interactions, analyzing their gestures and facial expressions, and trying to uncover any hidden romantic feelings between Lena and Cynthia or even a potential friendship which we strongly believe is not in the cards!!
A body language analysis of Cynthia and Lena
Waithe and Erivo met sometime around 2018 and were spotted more in one another’s company in 2020 when Lena was going through a divorce from her then-wife, Alana Mayo after two months of marriage.
Not long after the divorce was finalized Cynthia was spotted more and more in the presence of Lena and then rumors started going around about Waithe being unfaithful in her marriage and cheating on Alana with Erivo.

The first time Lena and Cynthia posed with one another was in 2018 at the Met Gala, it was posted on the actress’s Instagram account.
From the picture, you can see the two standing close to one another with their foreheads touching while smiling for the camera.
The post was captioned ‘I finally found my sis. 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!!’
Cynthia called Lena her sis in the past
They both seemed to be very comfortable being in one another’s company. Since then they were not spotted much.
Award season was the only time we got to see an interaction between Lena and Cynthia.
However, do friends, or in this case, as they like to call one another sisters hold hands for the whole world to see?
Holding hands is a very intimate act. It’s also a clear signal to others that two people holding hands are a couple and both Erivo and Waithe have done it in the open.
We have gone through eight different pictures where the actress and the film producer are radiating couple energy.

Take a look at how they’re holding hands in this photo, and don’t miss Lena’s hand resting on Cynthia’s leg. The way they’re gripping each other’s hands clearly says, “Don’t ever let me go.”
Waith is leaning towards Ervino, their shoulders touching, and once again, they appear incredibly at ease in each other’s presence.
The picture was taken at the 75th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in 2022.
Lena and Cynthia’s body language screams that they are an item
It’s a couples pose!!
The way they’re both leaning into each other’s embrace, with Waith’s hand around Erivo’s waist, it’s not exactly giving off sister vibes. It’s more like a “we’re dating” kind of energy.
I reckon going through each photo might end up repeating a lot of the same information. So, to spare you from getting bored, I’ll keep it brief and share what caught my eye in the rest of Lena and Cynthia’s photos.
It is pretty much the same thing, hands around the waist, taking one another personal space, arms around the shoulder and never missing the opportunity to take a picture together at all events.
Lena and Cynthia always make sure to take pictures together at every event
The more I look at it the more I think that these pictures are a soft launch for Cynthia and Lena’s relationship.
As for their social media accounts, they both are following each other but have not posted pictures with one another.
The only thing that was posted on the Insta story from Lena were pictures of Cynthia and the Wicked cast.
