r/wicked on Reddit: fiyero was in a relationship with glinda because he wanted to be
November 24, 2025 -
well not deep down but still. i actually think fiyero is underrated as a character but people downplaying his one truly shitty moment isn’t going to help him.
the engagement was pushed on him unknowingly but he’d been dating glinda for five years before that. yeah, yeah people don’t own other people and glinda certainly isn’t a flawless victim in this situation.
but this narrative that it was a mutually agreed upon PR relationship and that glinda shouldn’t be upset by him leading her on is crazy. it obviously wasn’t just for the crowds, they had a moment in private where he went along with everything. yknow what would have been valid and respectable? saying right there, “you just pressured me into an marriage i didn’t agree to. i’m not in love with you. we should break up.” but he said sure and walked down the aisle!
and i don’t think anything implied that he was being forced to be there. glinda is not nessa, and fiyero isn’t boq. what i will say is that glinda had no real right to be mad at elphaba considering their circumstances and current relationship. i think some people are defending fiyero to defend elphaba but they don’t have the same obligation and respect due to glinda in that situation.

My head canon, especially since the movie, is that after Fiyero saw Glinda after Defying Gravity he was greeted with an emotional wreck. He saw Glinda’s heart more than ever in that moment. They were both scared for Elphaba and missed her. They needed each other to get through Elphaba’s absence. But they had a fun bond before any of that. So I think they did care for each other beyond Elphaba, but that brought them closer. Was Fiyero in love with Glinda? No. But he had love for her! He cared about her. The new fandom belief that he hates her makes me so irritated. He grows frustrated with her, yes. But hate? Absolutely not.

There is an old interview from the first movie where Bailey said they are together because it “it made sense” like ‘she’s perfect, he’s perfect, they are perfect together’. But once he gets close to Elphaba he realizes he wants more than just an easy fun flirty relationship built on shallowness. Basically he outgrew her once he started “thinking” and it was his fault for not telling her that the relationship wasn’t working.

The ‘Wicked’ and 'Wicked: For Good' Love Triangle (Elphaba, Fiyero, and Glinda) Should Be A Throuple
November 24, 2025 - Director Jon M. Chu's Wicked and Wicked: For Good, based on Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's stage musical that is in turn based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, presents a pretty basic love triangle. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) is a studious, droll, green-skinned misfit. Glinda (Ariana Grande) is a spoiled, bubbly, blonde proverbial princess. They both share sparks with Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey), a handsome and rebellious literal prince.

r/wicked on Reddit: Fiyero was in love with Glinda
January 19, 2025 -
A lot of people believe Fiyero never loved Glinda. That he was just attracted to her and just went with the flow.
But I believe Fiyero fell in love with Galinda the night she stood up for Elphaba at Ozdust.
Fiyero is attracted to bravery and conviction, so it’s easy to imagine he fell in love with Galinda because he witnessed what was, at that point in his life, an incredible act of courage on Galinda’s part.
But then as he saw Glinda serve the Wizard, he fell out of love with her. Because he realized that moment of courage was all it was, a moment.

I think he likes her, but I don’t think he was madly in love with her. It was always Elphaba.

“Now that we’ve met one another, it’s clear we deserve each other. You’re perfect, so we’re perfect together.” This is the entire foundation of their relationship. They don’t love each other. They’re attracted to one another physically, and they think they DESERVE each other because they’re the two hottest, richest, most influential people in school. The moment his worldview begins to expand further than skin deep he grows distant from her. He may respect her, he may like her, but he’s never been in love with her. She’s just the last piece of his former empty-headed life that he’s afraid to let go of.

Wicked's Elphaba, Glinda & Fiyero Love Triangle Is Even More Complicated In The Book
January 6, 2025 - One of the most notable changes made to the book was cutting out the characters of Sarima and her family altogether and making no reference to her and Fiyero's marriage. Instead, the Broadway musical depicts Fiyero's initial relationship and unofficial engagement to Glinda, and his eventual romance with Elphaba, which leads to them leaving Oz together after Elphaba fakes her death.

I think he was attracted to her and cared for her but it wasn’t really Love. They met when they were both really shallow so they couldn’t have deep feelings for each other. Then as they matured he was already drawn to Elphaba.
