Ariana Grande Stuns Braless in Cover Shoot, Addresses Cynthia Erivo Romance Buzz

BBG News

In my own words, I proudly showcased my bold style on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter, a platform where I candidly discussed the whispers surrounding a clandestine relationship with my Wicked co-star, Cynthia Erivo.

31-year-old pop star and actress, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Glinda in the hit movie, appeared breathtakingly beautiful in a dress from Schiaparelli’s 2024 collection.

In a stunning, airy gown adorned with delicate, elaborate lace patterns, Ariana showcased her captivating figure without a bra during the photo session.

Stepping out in a pair of towering heels, I couldn’t help but feel starstruck by the Break Free singer’s Old Hollywood-inspired allure. Her radiance solidified her place among the elite of Tinseltown’s shining lights.

During an interview with THR, Ariana opened up about more than just her physical self, discussing the rumors surrounding her and Cynthia’s close bond, which was evident during their promotional tour for Wicked.

The warm, snuggly looks they shared, holding hands tightly and often shedding tears at nearly every destination, have undoubtedly caused a few surprised glances.

Grande casually mentioned that some people assume we’re secretly married, then she started discussing what she calls “the Gelphie phenomenon,” which is Internet-generated fan fiction and artwork depicting a romantic relationship between Elphaba and Glinda from a sapphic perspective.

It’s unfortunate that I now can’t forget what I’ve seen. I had an inkling of what might happen, but I never imagined it would be as intense or vivid as it turned out to be.

Still, the love lives of both actresses have sparked quite a stir.

In 2022, the actress started dating her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater, after their first encounter on the movie set. At that time, both were still married.

In the following days, it emerged that Ariana and Ethan were romantically involved, coming soon after Ariana announced her separation from husband Dalton Gomez, marking two years since their wedding.

Cynthia found herself embroiled in a heated debate when her romance with actress Lena Waithe surfaced not long after Lena’s 2021 divorce, leading many to question the circumstances of their relationship and raise suspicions about potential infidelity.

Cynthia and Lena initially crossed paths at the Met Gala in 2018, and they were frequently spotted together following Cynthia’s separation.

In 2021, they were photographed seated side by side at the Rhude fashion show, and then in 2022, they were spotted holding hands at the Alvin Ailey Spirit Gala.

In a recent chat on the WTF podcast, I shared some intimate details about my parents’ relationship and how their separation affected me. I also shared how I stepped in to help heal their rift.

She mentioned that she ‘encouraged’ her mother, Joan Grande, and father, Edward Butera, to reconcile and develop a strong friendship once more. “They may not be romantically involved,” she added, “but they are the closest of friends.

‘It took 18 years and it took me forcing it. I forced them to communicate again. I really did.’

Ariana clarified that her parents divorced while she was still quite young. However, it wasn’t until approximately her 24th birthday in 2017 that she became more involved.

Reflecting back, I found myself at a crucial moment, almost pleading, ‘Oh dear, I simply adore you two so profoundly! It’s been such an eternity, can’t we resolve this impasse?’ After all these years, 18 to be exact, and me being eighty, it was high time for a resolution. But they did indeed manage to move past it.

The outcome? She declared they’ve become ‘inseparable best friends,’ filled with joy. In truth, I struggle to imagine them apart; it’s simply the most wonderful thing on earth.

Ariana thinks that her parents have ultimately understood that their affection for her overpowers any previous disagreements.

It seems to me they might have shared a heartfelt discussion, or perhaps they found that the depth of their affection for me outweighs any past misunderstandings.

‘This place is truly stunning. If the previous generations had access to modern therapies and acceptance as we do today, perhaps they could have experienced this sooner. Nonetheless, everything seems perfectly timed, which brings me immense joy.’
