Are Cynthia Erivo And Ariana Grande In A ‘Non-Demi-Curious Semi-Binary’ Relationship? Here’s The Truth

Hollywood icon Cynthia Erivo and popstar Ariana Grande’s close bond has been making headlines since they started working on the Wicked franchise. During a press conference for their latest film, Wicked: For Good, the duo was caught sharing several affectionate moments with one another, prompting speculations surrounding their possible relationship.

As the speculations continued to rise among fans, a viral social media post claimed the two stars are reportedly in a “non-demi-curious semi-binary relationship”.

What is a Non-Demi-Curious Semi-Binary Relationship?

The term ‘non-demi-curious semi-binary’ does not exist in reality. It is not a relationship style that can be found in LGBTQ+ communities. It sounds like someone took real terms like ‘demisexuality’,

‘demigender’, and ‘non-binary’ and mixed them together to create a new one.

The word ‘Demi’ means it does not align with a demigender identity. The identities, including ‘demigirl’ and ‘demiboy’, indicate a partial connection to a specific gender. On the other hand, ‘Curious’ means being open to exploring something without committing to it, while ‘Semi-Binary’ pokes fun at discussions about people who identify partly with the gender binary. In short, the phrase is a total satire and does not mean anything.

The term did not originate from any real interview or credible source. It came from a satirical Facebook page known for making up humorous celebrity quotes. The page posted a fake remark, suggesting Cynthia and Ariana were exploring a relationship. Although it was clearly a spoof, some fans took it seriously and began speculating about their possible relationship.

As per online discussions, the term ‘non-demi-curious semi-binary’ was created as a joke, suggesting how fans sometimes overanalyse celebrity friendships. Neither Cynthia Erivo nor Ariana Grande has yet addressed the rumour directly.

What is the reason behind their affectionate bond?

Earlier, during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, Ariana Grande revealed she often expresses comfort through physical touch. “I channel a lot of energy through my hands… I’m always holding a hand or squeezing something,” Ariana stated, explaining her physical closeness with Cynthia is simply part of how she communicates warmth while doing press.

Despite the rumours, both stars have been clear about their respective personal lives. While Ariana is currently dating Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, Cynthia has been dating Lena Waithe since 2024.
