Did Cynthia Erivo Just Hint at Engagement with Lena Waithe? The 2025 Grammy Awards were not just about honoring the music industry’s finest; they also brought some unexpected moments on the red carpet, particularly the buzz surrounding what many believe could be an engagement announcement involving Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe.
Observers quickly noted that Erivo was sporting a large square-cut diamond ring on her left hand, paired with a diamond-studded infinity band, sparking speculation about a potential engagement with Waithe. Meanwhile, Waithe was seen wearing a simple gold band, which only added to the ongoing rumors.

Erivo, who dazzled attendees in a navy blue gown with a plunging neckline, prominently displayed her rings both on the red carpet and during her performance at the Quincy Jones tribute, suggesting that these were not just borrowed accessories for the event. Adding to the intrigue, Erivo had previously worn her diamond infinity ring at the Golden Globe Awards in January, hinting that it carries personal meaning.
Although Waithe did not join the red carpet festivities, she was spotted inside the Crypto.com Arena and seemed to have worn her gold band at the Golden Globes last month, leading fans to think it signifies more than just a fashion choice.
