Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo recently opened up about Glinda and Elphaba&#8217;s sexualities in the film after many viewers questioned their very close relationship. After their incredible performance in the film, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/2024\/11\/25\/the-dizzying-salaries-the-cast-of-wicked-got-paid-will-defy-your-biggest-expectations\">Ariana and Cynthia<\/a> spoke about this special bond as both actors and characters. Ariana Grande and Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth both actually shared the same theory about Glinda and her sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/films\/wicked-cynthia-erivo-ariana-grande-on-gelphie-elphaba-glinda-romance\/\">Gay Times<\/a>, Ariana and Cynthia were asked what they thought about fans who were romantically rooting for Glinda and Elphaba. Cynthia said she thinks Elphie &#8220;goes wherever the wind goes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think she loves Glinda. I think she loves love. And I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with celebrating the deep connection that both of them have. They do have a real relationship. It is true love, which is probably why people are shipping it, you know? Because what they build with each other is an unbreakable bond and love,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_411343\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-411343\" style=\"width: 1817px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-433\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VS-YouTube-WickedGlindaTheGood-026-1-e1732534715870.jpg\" alt=\"ariana grande kristin chenoweth glinda\" width=\"1817\" height=\"796\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-411343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">via YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Ariana thinks Glinda might be &#8216;a little in the closet&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>Ariana went a step further than what Cynthia said and explained she felt Glinda might be &#8220;a little in the closet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You never know. Give it a little more time. I mean, it is just a true love, and I think that transcends sexuality. It\u2019s just kind of a deep safety within each other.
