Lizzo and Myke Wright: A Journey Through Love and Music

Lizzo has been giving fans heartwarming glimpses into her relationship with Myke Wright, despite keeping some details private. In a recent Instagram post, the singer shared a compilation of photos from her red carpet debut with Wright in June 2022, captioning it with her empowering lyrics, "Ima boss ass bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch #FYC." The post featured adorable snaps of the couple beaming at a "For Your Consideration" event in Los Angeles.

Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, has been open about how a heartbreak changed her outlook on her future, even before her official debut with her boyfriend. In a March 2020 interview with The Sunday Times, the Grammy winner shared that she was working on improving her relationship with her family and opening herself up to friendships and the possibility of having children, which was a big shift for her since she viewed her albums as her babies. Despite the pain of the heartbreak, Lizzo sees it as a human experience that she has used constructively.

After a year, the Michigan-born Lizzo became the subject of dating rumors as she was seen indulging in PDA with Wright. The two of them were spotted together on various occasions, including dinner dates, throughout the year. Lizzo eventually made light of the fan speculation about her love life in a monologue on Saturday Night Live, jokingly comparing herself to a collector of One Direction members like Infinity Stones, and referring to the assumption that she was romantically involved with every white boy in Hollywood.

The actress from Hustlers jokingly hinted at a rumor about her being pregnant with Chris Evans' baby, which may have originated from a TikTok video where she made the claim. Lizzo also disclosed that she had someone special in her life, stating that fame doesn't affect their relationship and that it should be supportive regardless of their respective careers.

During her SNL hosting gig, Lizzo hinted that her boyfriend was there to show his support. When asked if he was backstage, she simply replied, "You get the scoop, don't you?" Two months later, Lizzo and Wright publicly announced their relationship on Instagram.

Lizzo and Boyfriend Myke Wright's Relationship Timeline

Lizzo and Myke Wright have been discreet about their relationship, but the singer has shared endearing glimpses of their bond. In June 2022, the couple made their red carpet debut at a "For Your Consideration" event in Los Angeles, and Lizzo shared a compilation of photos on Instagram with the caption, "Ima boss ass bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch #FYC," showcasing their happiness together.

Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, spoke openly about how a heartbreak changed her outlook on life long before she made her official debut with her boyfriend. In an interview with The Sunday Times in March 2020, the "Cuz I Love You" singer revealed that she was working on repairing her relationship with her family, opening herself up to new friendships, and even considering the idea of having children, which was a big shift for her as she previously believed she would have "no children" and "only two friends" after the heartbreak. Despite the pain, Lizzo sees it as a human experience and uses it constructively in her music.

A year down the line, Lizzo, who hails from Michigan, ignited dating rumors as she was caught indulging in PDA with Wright. Over the course of the year, the pair was spotted relishing their time together, including dining out and going on outings. During her monologue on Saturday Night Live, Lizzo playfully poked fun at the fan speculation surrounding her love life, jokingly stating that people believed she was collecting One Direction members like Infinity Stones. This reference was made in April 2022, and was in response to assumptions that she was romantically involved with every white boy in Hollywood.

"I heard a rumor that I'm pregnant with Chris Evans' baby. It could have started with the TikTok I made where I said, 'I'm pregnant with Chris Evans' baby.' It's called manifesting," said the Hustlers actress. In the same month, Lizzo revealed that she had a special person in her life, emphasizing that fame doesn't matter as long as the relationship is mutually supportive. She confirmed her relationship status during an appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy with host Andy Cohen.

During her SNL hosting gig, the "Good As Hell" singer hinted that her boyfriend had shown his support, suggesting that he was backstage during the taping. Two months later, Lizzo and Wright announced their relationship on Instagram.
