Ariana Grande flaunted her daring fashion sense on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter, where she opened up about the secret romance rumors with Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo.

The 31-year-old pop sensation and actress, who earned her first Oscar nomination playing Glinda in the blockbuster, looked absolutely stunning in a Schiaparelli gown from a 2024 runway collection. 

The intricate lace details of the ethereal dress accentuated Ariana’s enviable physique as she went braless for the shoot.

With a pair of sky-high heels, the Break Free hitmaker radiated old Hollywood glamour, cementing her status as one of Tinseltown’s top stars.

In her THR interview, Ariana bared more than just her body, addressing the whispers around her and Cynthia’s close relationship during the Wicked promo tour. 

Their cozy appearances—clutching each other’s hands and shedding tears at almost every stop—have certainly raised some eyebrows.

‘People think we’re secretly married,’ Grande said, before diving into what she refers to as ‘the Gelphie stuff,’ a nod to the internet’s collection of fan fiction and art that imagines a sapphic romance between Elphaba and Glinda. 

‘I wish I could unsee some things. I mean, wow, I had a feeling, but I didn’t know it would be on this scale or this graphic.’

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

The singer began dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater after they met on the set of the film adaptation in 2022, while both were still married.

Ariana and Ethan’s romance was revealed just a few days after the singer announced her split from husband Dalton Gomez after two years of marriage. 

Cynthia’s relationship with American actress Lena Waithe also sparked controversy, as they began dating shortly after Lena’s 2021 divorce, fueling speculation of infidelity.

Cynthia and Lena were first met in 2018 at the Met Gala and were seen numerous times together after her split. 

In 2021 the pair were pictured sitting together at Rhude fashion show and a year later they were seen holding hands at the Alvin Ailey Spirit Gala.

Meanwhile, Ariana got personal about her parents’ relationship during a recent appearance on WTF podcast, revealing how she played a role in mending their bond after their split.

She shared that she ‘forced’ her mom, Joan Grande, and dad, Edward Butera, to reconnect and become friends again. ‘They’re not together, but they’re best friends,’ she said.

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

Ariana explained that her parents separated when she was young, but it wasn’t until around her 24th birthday in 2017 that she stepped in.

‘I remember just kind of being at this pivotal point where I was just like, “You guys, I love you both so much. It’s been such a long time. Figure it the f— out,”’ she recalled. ‘Like hello, it’s been 18 years. I’m 80 [years old]. Please get over it. And they did.’

The result? They’re ‘best friends now,’ she said with pride. ‘I can’t separate them. It’s the best thing in the whole world.’

Ariana believes that her parents finally realized that their love for her outweighed any past grievances. 

‘I guess they just had like, some sort of beautiful conversation or realized that like, how much they love me is so much louder than whatever nonsense happened way back when. 

‘It really is beautiful, and if only they had the tools that I feel like we have now, this generation, with therapy and embracing that, maybe it could have happened sooner, but it was just the perfect thing…. It makes me really happy.’
