Who is Lizzo in a relationship with?
Lizzo is dating comedian, actor and Television presenter Myke Wright.
On Feb. 14, 2022 (ahem … Valentine’s Day), the “Truth Hurts” singer was spotted holding hands with an unknown man (who was wearing a face mask) outside of Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood, per PopSugar (which has photographic evidence!). Judging from Lizzo’s red dress, the pair appeared to be enjoying a romantic Valentine’s date together.
Naturally, rumors swirled that they were an item. However, Lizzo stayed silent about their relationship. But in April 2022, she appeared on Andy Cohen’s podcast Radio Andy, where he questioned her about her V Day date.
“Are you guys still together?” Andy asked the songstress, to which she nonchalantly responded, “Yeah, whatever, yeah.”
Furthermore, on June 4, 2022, Lizzo attended a press event in L.A. for her Amazon Prime Video series, Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. By her side was this mystery man, who has since been identified as Myke Wright. She later shared photos from their red carpet outing and made their relationship Instagram official.

After stepping out together for her 34th birthday in West Hollywood, the pair hit their first red carpet together on June 4, 2022 as they attended the FYC event for her Amazon Prime Video series, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
“Ima boss ass bitch ?? #FYC,” Lizzo captioned the gallery, which included photos of her wearing a fluorescent pink party dress with matching tights and gloves.

Are Lizzo and Myke Wright getting married?
Lizzo has opened up about her plans for the future with boyfriend Myke Wright.
In a new cover story interview with Vanity Fair, the “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” singer-songwriter said she’s “in love” with Wright — but not itching to get married just yet for various reasons.
“I’ve known him for over six years. He’s everything. We’re just in love. And that’s it,” Lizzo, 34, told the outlet before elaborating on her recent description of their relationship as “not monogamy” from a July interview with The Breakfast Club.
“People fight for monogamy like they pray to it every day. I am not a polyamorous person, I’m not in love with multiple partners. That is not me. He’s the love of my life. We are life mates,” continued the musician before discussing the prospect of marriage. “Do I want to get married? If I wanted to start a business with him, I’d get married because that’s when your finances come together.”
But who has Lizzo dated before Myke? That’s a question we’re still searching for answers to. The R&B queen has stayed pretty quiet about her exes in the past. Albeit, she has been very open about her fake flirtationship with Chris Evans.
In the past, Lizzo had a flirty relationship with Chris Evans.
In April 2021, Lizzo took to TikTok to share with fans that she had mistakingly sent a flirty drunk DM to ator Chris Evans, and then warned her viewers that this wasn’t a smart move. “Don’t drink and DM,” she said in the snippet, which included a screenshot of her message to him.
@lizzo Don’t drink and DM, kids…. for legal porpoises this is a joke
♬ original sound – HI I’M TATI ?
However, she updated fans the next day that Chris wasn’t actually turned off by her drunk DM. He messaged her back explaining that she should not feel shame for her message and even used the face-blowing-a-kiss emoji.
@lizzo OMG YALL— HE SAW THE BABY BUMP! WE DID IT! NOW YALL GOTTA NAME LIL MERICA!!!!! WHAT YALL BOUTA NAME MY BABY ?! ????

Fans (and Lizzo!) went wild over this interaction — and luckily, their playful exchanges didn’t just end there. The pair continued to tease their flirty connection over TikTok together. They even joked that they were having a baby together.
