Lizzo Opens Up About Her ‘Crazy Bond’ with Boyfriend Myke Wright

Lizzo, the Grammy-winning singer known for her unapologetic confidence and infectious energy, recently shared intimate details about her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright. In a rare and heartfelt conversation, the Truth Hurts hitmaker reflected on how their bond blossomed over nearly a decade, evolving from friendship to romance.

The singer, 37, appeared on the May 15 episode of the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, where she opened up about her personal life and the unique connection she shares with Wright.

A Friends-to-Lovers Story

Lizzo revealed that she and Myke Wright first met years ago when they both worked on an MTV show called Wonderland. “I had a friends-to-lovers trope,” Lizzo said, describing the foundation of their relationship.

At the time, Lizzo was the resident music girl on the program, while Wright was brought on as the comedy talent. Their chemistry was instant, but it remained purely platonic in the early years.

“I was just like, ‘He’s my best friend,’” Lizzo recalled. “I didn’t have any guy friends like that — well, I did because, you know, I’m in the music industry. But I was like ‘Wow, I can really talk to him.’”

It was this deep emotional connection that formed the groundwork for what would later turn into something more. Lizzo noted that the bond they shared was anything but ordinary. “We had a crazy bond for years,” she admitted, adding that she treasures the fact that their relationship began as a close friendship.

A ‘BookTok’ Fantasy Come True

For Lizzo, the evolution of their relationship feels like something out of a romance novel. “I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything,” she told Shane.

Calling it “low-key like a fantasy,” Lizzo described the experience as something straight from the popular BookTok tropes — where best friends realize they’ve been in love with each other all along. “It’s like a ‘BookTok’ dream to be like, ‘Oh my God, like he was my best friend.’”

Making Their Relationship Public

While Lizzo and Myke Wright kept their relationship under wraps for years, they eventually made their romance public in April 2022. Interestingly, it wasn’t entirely planned. During an appearance on Andy Cohen’s radio show, Cohen accidentally “outed” their relationship by asking Lizzo a pointed question about her love life. Rather than dodging it, Lizzo confirmed she was happily seeing someone.

Just two months later, the couple made their red carpet debut at a For Your Consideration event for Lizzo’s Amazon Prime Video reality competition series, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. The sighting delighted fans and made headlines, as Lizzo had always been quite private about her romantic relationships.

Opening Up About Love and Self-Worth

In December 2022, Lizzo spoke candidly about her journey with love and self-acceptance on The Howard Stern Show. She revealed how her relationship with Myke Wright came at a time when she was still working through personal insecurities.

“We’re very much locked in,” she said of their relationship status at the time. “I had a lot of things to do, and I still was very much in my ‘I feel unlovable’ place, and I still was very much not where I wanted to be career-wise.”

This honest reflection struck a chord with fans. Lizzo, known for her empowering anthems and body-positive message, reminded listeners that even the most confident people have their moments of doubt. Her relationship with Wright, built on years of friendship and mutual respect, became a source of strength and healing.

A Relationship Rooted in Friendship

What makes Lizzo and Myke Wright’s relationship stand out is its organic beginning. In an industry where whirlwind romances and tabloid-fueled breakups are common, their decade-long bond offers a refreshing narrative about love that grows from a solid foundation of friendship.

Lizzo’s decision to open up about their connection on Therapuss gave fans a rare glimpse into their personal life, showcasing the value of deep, meaningful relationships that aren’t rushed or performative. The couple’s story is a testament to how true love can often be found in the people who know you best.

As Lizzo continues to climb new heights in her music career and advocacy work, it’s clear that Myke Wright remains a steady and supportive presence in her life — one who was a friend first, and a partner later.
