Janelle Monáe Explains Why She Doesn't Discuss Their Love Life: "It's Not Necessary"

The longtime friends and frequent collaborators sparked romance rumors in April 2021 when they were spotted cozying up to each other during a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In photos published by Page Six at the time, the two musicians were seen hugging and kissing while on a yacht, though neither ever publicly commented on their relationship status.

In Monáe's May 2023 Rolling Stone interview, the reporter noted that Wonder was at Monáe's home during one meeting, and Wonder is mentioned throughout as working with them.
