No matter where you’re living in the world, if you’re using the internet, you’ve probably seen at least one video of Ariana and Cynthia. Trolls are either picking apart their appearances or are busy creating theories about their relationship. Some have even cooked up stories claiming the singer is dealing with an eating disorder. Many found their closeness "creepy".

But, is there really any truth to these rumours? Let's find out

Where Did the Fake Phrase Come From?

The term "non-demi curious semi binary relationship did not come from any interview or credible source but originated from a satirical Facebook page known for making hilarious jokes about celebrities. The page falsely posted a false remark supposedly from Cynthia, where she said that she is in a "non demi curious semi binary relationship with Ariana Grande. As per the page, the 38-year-old actress even provided an explanation of their gender identity. While this was all fake, some users fell for the spoof and actually believed that something was brewing between the two.

According to the Facebook page, The Lamented,  the fake viral post claimed that Erivo said, "It means we are actually not a couple, but we are curious about what that could mean and everything" Fact-checking organisations quickly dismissed these claims and confirmed that neither Ariana nor Cynthia has ever used the phrase "non demi curious semi binary relationship."

Another strong reason to dismiss these circulating claims is that the Facebook page which posted them is actually dedicated to satire. The bio of the page reads, "The Lamented: where truth goes to die and sarcasm reigns supreme. Serving up sattire, nonsense and floriously unreliable stories," clearly indicating that the posts are meant to be taken as jokes.
