On April 18, 2022, Lizzo finally confirmed that she had a new boyfriend when she was interviewed by Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show Radio Andy.
Cohen asked her about paparazzi photos of the musical artist out with a man in West Hollywood, having dinner at Craig’s restaurant.
When he wanted to know if she was still with the mystery fella, Lizzo said, “Yeah, whatever yeah.”
By June, the man was revealed, Myke Wright, and they were both red carpet and Instagram official. Lizzo shared a series of photos of them together at an event for her new Amazon Prime Video reality series, Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
Who is Myke Wright?
He is an actor and a comedian, and has been seen in Breaking & Entering, How to Be A Grown Up, and Doubting Thomas.
Where were Lizzo and Mike Wright first seen?
In addition to that Valentine’s Day meal, they were seen at Crustacean Beverly Hills in October 2021 and again up on a balcony in Malibu in March 2022. She said in her interview that he was at Saturday Night Live on April 16 when she hosted and performed as the musical guest as well.
What has Lizzo said about dating in the past?
The pop icon jokes a lot about dating various stars on social media, and even poked fun of herself during that Saturday Night Live episode’s opening monologue.
They think I’m collecting members of One Direction like Infinity Stones,” she said. “I even heard a rumor that I’m pregnant with Chris Evans’ baby. I have no idea where that one started.”
She added, “It could be the TikTok I did where I said, ‘I’m pregnant with Chris Evans’ baby, y’all.’ It’s called manifesting.”
To Cohen, who suggested being famous made it hard to date, Lizzo said that her success is “not even a factor” in her relationship.
“If you have the right person, no, not at all,” she shared. “It should be mutually supportive no matter what that person does.”
In 2019, she told People that she was very independent.
