February 5, 2023: Lizzo makes 'hard launch' of partner Myke Wright ahead of Grammys debut
The singer finally went Instagram official with her partner Myke Wright ahead of the Grammys on Sunday, February 5, 2023.
Sharing snaps of herself and Wright cosying up and posing for the camera at the pre-Grammys party the day before, Lizzo captioned a carousel of sweet images: 'Hard launch.'
'I love Lizzo so feckin much my queer bones about to break, [sic]' commented Jonathan van Ness on the post.
'We love a hard launch,' added Lori Harvey.
On the night of the Grammys, the pair walked the red carpet together for the first, and made us swoon in the process.
October 12, 2022: Lizzo addresses previous comments she's made about monogamy and her apprehensions about getting married to 'love of my life' Myke Wright
Lizzo has opened up about her relationship with Wright, months after admitting to finding monogamy 'claustrophobic', in an interview with radio show The Breakfast Club.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair for its November issue, the singer said 'people fight for monogamy like they pray to it every day,' before clarifying her understanding of the word.
'I'm not thinking about sex when I think about monogamy and rules. I'm thinking about the autonomy and independence of him and me.'
While she may not be the biggest advocate of monogamy, she's not polyamorous. The 'Good As Hell' singer shared: 'I am not a polyamorous person, I'm not in love with multiple partners. That is not me.'
On the subject of Wright specifically, she explained that while their relationship is strong she's also weary about getting married in the future.
'He's the love of my life. We are life mates,' she gushed. 'Do I want to get married? If I wanted to start a business with him, I'd get married because that's when your financés come together,' she added.
She is, however, up for a party to celebrate their love. 'I like weddings. I would like to have a wedding over a marriage.'
Lizzo stressed that being able to grow independently, outside of her relationship to Wright, is of equal importance. 'How wonderful would it be to be this complete independent person and to come together to make two complete independent people?' she said.
'Not that whole "You complete me, you're my other half." No. I'm whole, and you're incredible too. We're like the mirror image of each other. We're connected. But that doesn't mean I was incomplete when I met him.'

For the romantic dinner date, Lizzo wore a black slip dress with purple feathers and bejewelled flowers. She accessorised the look with sparkly pointed-toe bow-tie heels and a pair of oversized sunglasses, which featured her coined phrase—'That Bitch'—across the lenses. Her beau beamed beside her in an all-black look complete with matching dark shades.
April 18: Lizzo confims she is in a relationship
In an interview with Andy Cohen, the musician revealed that said she is indeed dating Wright.
'You were photographed in Los Angeles in February at Craig's with a mystery man. Are you guys still together?' Cohen bluntly asked the singer in their April interview.
'Yeah, whatever,' Lizzo then responded, laughing. 'Yeah.'
When asked by Cohen whether dating him while juggling her fame and career has been a challenge, she responded: 'If you have the right person, no. Not at all. It's not even a factor. Because it should be mutually supportive, no matter what that person does.'
Lizzo confirmed to Cohen during their interview that Wright was also in the wings supporting her in person while she hosted Saturday Night Live on April 16.
