Lizzo amid her ongoing controversy for her behaviour and the nefarious lawsuit has denied all rumours of any kind of split with her boyfriend Myke Wright. However, it was earlier said that their relationship had come to a bitter end, with Lizzo, deleting all traces of her boyfriend from her social media and even unfollowing Myke, who even travelled the world with her on tour.

There's a lot of love between Lizzo and Chris Evans. But as the 35-year-old singer reminded her fans in a May 19 Instagram video, she only has eyes for her boyfriend, Myke Wright. "I think it was at the last show I just played, somebody had a big-ass cutout of Chris Evans's face," she said on stage in Chicago. After seeing Evans's head floating above the crowd, she decided to issue an important "public service announcement" about the men in her life.
"Chris Evans is not my man," she said in no uncertain terms. "My man is [Myke Wright] and he fine as hell." She added that if fans really wanted to wow her, they should put Wright on their posters so she could look at him while performing. "I wanna see his fine-ass face when I'm on stage," she continued. Taking her words to heart, two audience members held giant print-outs of...

Lizzo opened up like never before in her HBO Max documentary Love, Lizzo from director Doug Pray —even going so far as introducing viewers to her partner Myke Wright, who appears in the film.
Going into this project, the four-time Grammy winner admits that she didn’t plan out what she was willing to share, saying “it would have been a disservice to the film.”
“I didn’t really have a story in mind; I was just living,” Lizzo said during a panel for the Apple TV+ series at Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted event. “It was important that I move as if there are no cameras here, that I live my life and be authentically myself because these are memories for me. Who wants to look back at all this footage and see that I was faking it or I was holding back? That’s not even fun for me to watch.

Married couple Cardi B and Offset packed on the Pda when they walked the red carpet at Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Feb. 4. The "Wap" rapper wore a brown, patchwork dress with matching gloves, while simultaneously making the mullet cool again. Meanwhile, Offset made military chic a thing in a suit with two rows of gold buttons running down the front.
But as impressive as the couple's style was, it was their Pda that turned heads. The couple, who are parents to their 4-year-old daughter, Kulture, and 1-year-old son, Wave, made the most of their date night. Not only did they make out on the red carpet, but they broke out their tongues as well.
After their Pda-filled walk down the red carpet, the famous couple joined Lizzo and Myke Wright - who went Instagram official at the event - at their table once inside.

Well, now that the couple has walked down a “proper” red carpet together, they’re official enough for Lizzo to give Myke a hard launch on social media!

I am very much in love with Myke." She went on to make it clear just how serious their relationship is, adding, "There's nobody else I'm going to be with for the rest of my life."
She also told Stern a bit about the early days of her relationship with Wright, a stand-up comedian and actor. "In the past, we were friends. I had a lot of sh*t to do, and I still was very much in my 'I feel unloveable' place, and I still was very much not where I wanted to be career-wise," she said.

Lizzo is way ahead of the game when it comes to the season of giving! The Grammy-nominated singer gave her fan a surprise of a lifetime after she posted a video on TikTok asking the pop star if they could wear one of her dresses.
In late October, Atlanta-based writer, poet, and essayist Aurielle Marie made a video on TikTok with a specific goal – getting Lizzo’s attention to request a favor. The 2022 Georgia Author of the Year was celebrating a huge year of wins: they’d published their first poetry collection, Gumbo Ya Ya, which Marie described to be “about growing up fat, Black, and queer in the South.” The collection garnered several honors, including the Cave Canem poetry award.
Most importantly, Marie had been chosen as one of Out 100’s LGBTQ+ Literary and Publishing stars of the year and needed a stellar dress for the ceremony in New York.

Lizzo is not only ready to be loved – she’s fully relishing it! The “Special” singer opened up about her romance with boyfriend Myke Wright in an intimate conversation with Vanity Fair, declaring that the comedian, actor, musician, and artist is “everything” to her.
“I’ve known him for over six years. We’re just in love. And that’s it,” she tells the outlet.
The 34-year-old was first spotted with Wright on Valentine’s Day in February before making their official debut as a couple on the red carpet at a screening for her Emmy-winning reality series, “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls”.
But, much like other areas in her life, Lizzo doesn’t believe her relationship needs to follow the traditional rules of romance. In July, the singer revealed that she found monogamy “claustrophobic.”
“I think a traditional relationship scares me for 10 years, but love is forever.

Lizzo is now officially halfway to being an Egot winner after accepting the Emmy Award for Outstanding Competition Program. After just one season of her new show, “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls”, the singer-songwriter has added an impressive accolade to her list.
Appearing to be overwhelmed with emotion when her name was announced, Lizzo took the stage and immediately called for her “Big Grrrls” to join her in accepting the award.
“I need my big girls to come to the stage right now, right now! I want to say thank you to the Emmys and the Emmy voters,” Lizzo began. “First of all, I’m very emotional. And the trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people who are on the stage with me.”
Lizzo went on to address the fact that full-figured women are not rare, their stories are just rarely told in mainstream media.
