- Mar 19, 2025
AceShowbiz - Lizzo revealed her "beef" with Andy Cohen when dropping by his SiriusXM radio show. She called out the host for exposing her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright back in April 2022.
Reflecting on the moment, Lizzo said, "I really got beef with you because the last time we saw each other you f***ing outed me!" Although she now finds the situation "so funny," it put her in an awkward position at the time since their relationship wasn't publicly confirmed yet.
"I was in such a weird position because, like, we're so private, but he was there and I was like, 'I don't want to say 'no' because I don't want to [hurt him].' "
Cohen asked if confirming the relationship caused any issues between her and Wright. Lizzo reassured, "No. It started s*** with the world, though." She added, "I think when the world sees two happy people, they want to destroy them."
Lizzo and Myke Wright's history dates back to 2016 when they co-hosted MTV's "Wonderland" together. Their romance, officially confirmed in April 2022, flourished over the years, leading to a major red carpet debut at a "For Your Consideration" event for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime Video reality competition series just two months later.
In a candid December 2022 interview on "The Howard Stern Show", Lizzo discussed the time it took for their relationship to evolve, "We're not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in."
Elaborating on her journey to finding love, the "Truth Hurts" singer revealed, "I had a lot of s*** to do, and I still was very much in my 'I feel un-loveable' place..."
Despite these personal challenges, their relationship solidified, and Stern even touched upon the possibility of marriage. Lizzo confidently responded, "There's nobody else I'm going to be with for the rest of my life."
Lizzo and Wright made a rare red carpet appearance earlier this month at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party. Additionally, Lizzo has recently announced her third album, "Love in Real Life", set for a 2025 release. With new songs like "Love in Real Life" and "Still Bad," fans have much to anticipate from the powerhouse artist.
