A quick look at Lizzo and Myke Wright's relationship

In 2016, Wright met Lizzo for the first time when the two co-hosted 10 episodes of the MTV music series, Wonderland. The couple kept their romance hushed up for quite a while, even though they both were snapped together from time to time.

Wright was referred to as Lizzo's mystery man, as he was spotted in public with her. However, it was in April 2022 that the Truth Hurts artist confirmed her relationship with her mystery man while talking to Andy Cohen on the latter's SiriusXM Andy Cohen Live radio show.

The couple officially made their public appearance in June 2022 on the red carpet at the screening of Lizzo's Amazon Prime reality TV series, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.

In July 2022, when Lizzo appeared on 105.1 FM's The Breakfast Club, she revealed how knowing Myke Wright before she became famous was special for her:

"Even the man I'm with, he knew me before all of this, too, we were friends. Not to say that I can't be friends with people who met me after the fame, but it hit different when they knew you before 2019."

After headlining Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala, Lizzo also attended the Awards ceremony with Wright. Both were snapped on the red carpet as Lizzo was donning an orange Dolce & Gabbana corset gown while Wright was seen wearing a black tuxedo.
