She accessorized her long and ornate manicure with a double stack of rings on her left hand, and wore an oversize marquise cut ring on her right pointer finger. Fans took to X to ponder Erivo's relationship status.
So, are Erivo and Waithe engaged? According to People, the Wicked star is not engaged. "All of Erivoâs Grammys jewelryâsave for one ringâwas loaned, and she can only wear the accessories on certain fingers because of the adornments on her nails," an insider told the outlet.

Don't expect Erivo to say much on the matter, eitherâwhile speaking with Vanity Fair in November, she explained that sheâs âvery tight-lipped with my relationships, âcause I donât think that my relationship is for anyone else but for me.â
"I spend so much of my life sharing everythingâwhether itâs my work or my soul or my life in speeches,â Erivo continued. âI think I give enough of myself that Iâm allowed to keep something for me. And who knows, maybe Iâll change my mind at some point. But, I think itâs okay. Itâs enough for people to know that Iâm a queer person who could have relationships with men or women or neither.â
