Lena Waithe and Alana Mayo's marriage ended as suddenly as it began, taking fans by surprise and causing a whirlwind of questions. Shortly after the couple announced their divorce, the outlet Love B. Scott broke the news that the relationship may have ended because of Waithe allegedly cheating. Sources told the outlet that the relationship had been on the rocks even before they tied the knot. "The quickie wedding came after multiple instances of Lena's infidelity," the outlet reported. "Lena went along with it as a way to placate Alana and salvage their relationship."
But a source said that the wedding didn't help matters. "Even after they married, Lena was still buying designer gifts — Chanel, Gucci — for other women," the source told Love B. Scott. Waithe was also linked to Harriet actress Cynthia Erivo right after the breakup.
Without comment from Waithe or Mayo, it's impossible to confirm why they parted ways. But after the rumors began, fans immediately labeled Waithe a cheater and panned her on social media. "This seems very on brand for Lena, what person who squints that much is faithful?" one person wrote on Twitter. "I'm not saying I knew Lena Waithe was a cheater after that Halle Berry Kiss, but I knew Lena Waithe was a cheater after that Halle Berry kiss," another tweeted, referencing the time Halle Berry kissed Lena Waithe on Jimmy Kimmel Live in May 2019.
Meanwhile, Mayo has stayed out of the spotlight since the split.
