Debunking the 'Non-Demi-Curious Semi-Binary' Rumors Surrounding Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have been capturing attention for their close friendship while working on the Wicked franchise. Speculations about their relationship arose after they were seen sharing affectionate moments during a press conference for their latest film, Wicked: For Good. A viral social media post claimed they were in a "non-demi-curious semi-binary relationship," a term that does not exist in LGBTQ+ communities and was likely created as a joke.
The term 'non-demi-curious semi-binary' is a fictional combination of real terms like 'demisexuality,' 'demigender,' and 'non-binary.' It does not hold any actual meaning and was likely fabricated for entertainment purposes. Despite the rumors circulating online, neither Cynthia Erivo nor Ariana Grande has addressed the speculation directly, and the origin of the term can be traced back to a satirical Facebook page known for creating humorous celebrity content.
Ariana Grande has previously shared on a podcast that she expresses comfort through physical touch, which explains her affectionate bond with Cynthia Erivo. The physical closeness between the two stars is simply a reflection of how Ariana communicates warmth through touch. While fans may continue to speculate about their relationship, both Cynthia and Ariana have been transparent about their personal lives. Ariana is currently dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, while Cynthia has been in a relationship with Lena Waithe since 2024.
