Lena Waithe has reportedly already moved on to actress Cynthia Errivo after splitting from her wife of 2 months.
Earlier this week, Waithe and her wife, Alana Mayo, dropped the bombshell news about their split.
The two released a statement to People stating, “After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways. We have nothing but support for one another and ask that you respect our privacy during this time.”
The two dated for years and got engaged in 2017. In 2019, Waithe married Mayo in a private ceremony in San Francisco. The ceremony went down at San Francisco City Hall.

She spoke about the wedding, “We went to the courthouse and got married right in front of Harvey Milk’s bust. It was her idea — like all good things are — and she was just driving and she saw the courthouse and she said, ‘We should get married there,’ and I said, ‘Cool, I’m down.’”
According to Bossip, the “Queen & Slim” writer is dating “Harriet” actress Cynthia Errivo. The outlet reports the two are living together

The reports allege Waithe may have been unfaithful to her wife. The director allegedly was buying other women expensive gifts while with Mayo.
Waithe and Errivo have been spotted hanging out together at events in the past. The actress shared a photo from the 2018 Met Gala with Waithe. She wrote, “Me and @lenawaithe
I finally found my sis. Lena you are absolutely everything. You are perfection. What a meeting of minds, glad to have you in my life! Stuck like glue !!! SHINE QUEEN SHINE!!”
The two have yet to comment on their alleged relationship.
