Lizzo never shies away from big feelings—whether in chart-topping songs or candid interviews. But when it comes to her private life, she’s used to keeping details close to her chest. That’s why a recent SiriusXM sit-down with Andy Cohen turned into a playful showdown, as Lizzo called out the host for unexpectedly revealing her relationship with comedian Myke Wright.
The whole saga traces back to April 2022. Lizzo visited Cohen’s Radio Andy show, thinking she’d just be chatting about her music. Instead, Andy Cohen, never one to tiptoe around personal topics, shot a direct question her way: "Are you in love?" What listeners didn’t know was that Myke Wright was sitting right in the room. On air, Lizzo found herself in a tight spot—if she dodged the question, it might seem suspicious. If she answered, well, the world would finally know.
She managed to confirm she was in a relationship without dropping any names, but the moment still buzzed through the room. Talking about it on SiriusXM, Lizzo laughed, calling the whole thing "so funny." But she admitted it was awkward. "I felt like I had to say something because you asked me on air—and Myke was sitting right there!" she recalled.
Cohen, curious as ever, wanted to know if the moment sparked any real tension at home. Turns out, Lizzo and Wright weren’t rattled at all by the reveal. In Lizzo’s words, "It didn’t start anything between us, but it really started s--- with the world." She explained that as soon as fans and the media knew, the pressure and public sleuthing grew intense. These days, keeping any part of your life private can feel impossible when you’re a superstar.
If you haven’t been keeping track, Lizzo and Myke Wright go way back—years before she was collecting Grammys and breaking streaming records. They first met long before "Truth Hurts" hit the charts, and their friendship quietly grew into a romance. For ages, their relationship was barely on anyone’s radar. They officially went public on Instagram in 2022, only after Cohen’s question nudged their hand.
The pair isn’t big on constant public displays, but they’re not hiding either. Their latest public appearance came at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party, an event known for spotlighting Hollywood’s most talked-about couples. The two looked relaxed, happily walking the red carpet without any need to prove their connection to anyone. Lizzo says one of the best things about Myke Wright is that he’s known her since before the world really did—before the fame, before the headlines. That’s rare in an industry where relationships are usually on display from day one.
Even with more eyes on them than ever, the couple navigates it in stride. Lizzo talks openly about how external attention can turn innocent questions into internet speculation, but it hasn’t shaken their foundation.
And in classic Lizzo fashion, she’s turning love—real, sometimes messy, always human—into music. She’s gearing up to drop her third studio album, 'Love in Real Life,' in 2025. Fans can already stream singles like 'Love in Real Life' and 'Still Bad,' both hinting at stories pulled straight from her heart and her life with Wright. Her new music is set to show that whether you’re famous or not, relationships are full of twists, surprises, and the occasional awkward moment on live radio.
