Cynthia Erivo and Lena Waithe had fans on the edge of their seats when they sparked a round of engagement rumors at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sundays. Cynthia — who recreated her viral 'holding space' moment with Taylor Swift —  sported a stunning array of rings, but it was an enormous diamond ring, as well as a second diamond-covered infinity ring, that got fans chatting. The 38-year-old Wicked star's partner Lena, 40, upped the stakes by wearing what appeared to be a simple gold band, setting off rumors that the lovebirds might have even gotten married.

Cynthia may have been putting her rings on display when she walked the red carpet before the ceremony started. She wore a lovely navy blue dress with a plunging neckline reaching down to her midriff, as well as a shimmering silver top underneath that reached up to her neck and revealed a quadrilateral-shaped cut-out. The Oscar-nominee also bared her long, ornate nails — as if usual for her — but she had more sparklers than usual.

On her right index finger she sported a gorgeous tear drop–shaped diamond with a jeweled band.

Her left-hand ring finger bore a massive diamond ring in a square or cushion cut, which looked suspiciously like an engagement ring. Next to it was an infinity ring with multiple diamonds strung together in a loop. It's not at all uncommon for stars to borrow or rent jewelry for big awards shows, but Cynthia had previously worn the diamond infinity ring to the Golden Globe Awards in January, according to Bride's magazine, suggesting that the piece is her own.

The rings were still on when the Wicked star took part in a tribute to Quincy Jones on stage, suggesting that they weren't just for show on the red carpet. Her partner Lena skipped the red carpet, but the lovebirds were pictured together inside the Crypto.com Arena, and Lena sported her own striking ring. Instead of the opulent diamonds that Cynthia wore, Lena's right ring finger was decorated with a thick gold band in the style of a wedding ring.

The actress and writer appears to have also worn the ring to last month's Golden Globe Awards, suggesting that she owns the gold band and isn't just borrowing it. She and Cynthia have known each other since at least 2018. On Cynthia's right index finger she sported a gorgeous tear drop–shaped diamond with a jeweled band. Her left-hand ring finger bore a massive diamond ring in a square or cushion cut, which looked suspiciously like an engagement ring, as well as a diamond infinity ring.

The two have been dating since 2020. In January of that year, Lena announced she was divorcing her wife Alana Mayo. Lena tied the knot with Alana Mayo in 2019, but in January of 2020 they announced they were divorcing, and the process was finalized the following year. Cynthia, who had previously dated men, began dating Lena sometime in 2020, but the two have kept their relationship remarkably low key.

She was joined on stage by 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy as she began her acceptance speech by acknowledging them for their courage as she said: 'I'd like to thank and acknowledge and praise all the firefighters for keeping us safe.'. 'I just feel very full and very honored. It's been many, many years. And I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work. I want to dedicate this to Ms. Martell, and just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless. Thank you so much. Thank you.'.
