Who is Lizzo's boyfriend Myke Wright?

Lizzo has been in the headlines recently after being sued by three of her former backup dancers who allege the pop star of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

The singer has denied the accusations, calling them "false" and "unbelievable."

Her partner, actor and comedian Myke Wright, has not publicly commented on the ongoing lawsuit and as of Aug. 3, 2023, Lizzo seems to have removed several photos of them together from her Instagram page.

Here's what the pop star has said about her relationship with Wright, in her own words:

How did Lizzo and Wright meet?

Publicly linked since Oct. 2021, per People, Lizzo confirmed the relationship in April of 2022 during an appearance on "Radio Andy." In June, the couple made their public couple debut at the For Your Consideration event for singer's new Prime Video reality show, "Watch Out for the Big Grrrls."

However, Lizzo and Wright have known each other for quite some time. In 2016, they cohosted MTV's music series "Wonderland" and then took some pictures together at the premiere of MTV's “Teen Wolf” and “Sweet/Vicious" that same year.

In Feb. 2022, Lizzo said she was 'a little bit in love'

Lizzo released the album "Cuz I Love You" in 2018, full of anthems to self-love. In 2022, she said her new album, "Special," might be about romantic love — but that we'd have to "wait and see," she told Variety. The album was released on July 15.

Later on in the interview, Lizzo said she was "a little bit in love" herself. When she was asked if she was dating someone, the "About Damn Time" singer pivoted and said, "I ain’t talking about this. We’re talking about 'Big Grrrls' and how we’re changing the world, goddamnit."

In April, Lizzo confirmed she was dating someone

In April, Lizzo confirmed that she was dating someone during an appearance on Radio Andy.

Host Andy Cohen asked her if she was seeing the same "mystery" guy that she was photographed with outside in L.A in February. After letting out a laugh, Lizzo said, "Yeah, whatever, yeah."

Cohen went on to ask whether it was difficult to date in the spotlight, given the fame disparity. Lizzo said, "if you have the right person," then it isn't hard.

"It's not even a factor because it should be mutually supportive no matter what that person does, " she continued.

Lizzo also confirmed that Wright was in the audience at 30 Rock when she hosted “Saturday Night Live” on April 16.

For her opening monologue, Lizzo played off of her song "Rumors" and joked that she heard rumors that she was "dating every little white boy in Hollywood" and that she was "collecting members of One Direction like infinity stones."

“I even heard a rumor that I’m pregnant with Chris Evans’ baby,” she said. “I have no idea where that one started. It could be the TikTok I did where I said, ‘I am pregnant with Chris Evans baby.’ It’s called manifesting.”

They made their couple debut in June

In June, Lizzo and Wright make their debut as a couple when they attended the For Your Consideration event for her Amazon Prime Video reality series, "Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls" at DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles.

For the event, Lizzo channeled the Barbiecore trend and wore a neon pink babydoll dress by Valentino, which featured opera-length gloves, tights and platform heels in the same pink color. Wright wore a pinstripe suit that he paired with a Black turtleneck.

After the event, Lizzo shared a series of photos on Instagram, including her and her beau on the red carpet and a snap of what appeared to be her holding his hand in a car.

Lizzo says she's not in a 'traditional' relationship

On “The Breakfast Club,” on July 15, 2022, Lizzo opened up more about her relationship with Wright, and shared more about her thoughts on love and relationships.

In the interview, Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, revealed that she and Wright were still in the “soft launch” stage of their relationship.

She also said that a "traditional," or monogamous relationship, "scares" her.

“Monogamy, I think to me, is a little claustrophobic because there are rules," she said. "I think a love relationship that’s not monogamous has no rules. I think people who do poly and all that stuff, there are still rules.

“I don’t want any rules. But that doesn’t mean I’m out here f---ing and sucking and ducking. You know what I'm saying? It doesn’t mean he is either," Lizzo continued. "It just means that there are just no expectations, and that way, the love gets to just be the main event.

"Do what you want to do as long as you love me," she concluded.

For Lizzo, it appears the important thing is a shared sense of commitment. “It’s just love. It’s like, ‘I just love you. I’m not worried about nobody else. I’m not worried about nobody else sexually, romantically, emotionally. I’m just worried about you. I’m just thinking about you.’ And I think that’s what we have, which is the most beautiful, pure thing ever.”

Lizzo does a "hard launch" of their relationship

On Feb. 4, 2023, Lizzo shared a series of photos of her and Wright lovingly posing together at the Pre-Grammy Gala. She captioned the since deleted post with "Hard launch."

The next day, the two made things very official as they walked the red carpet at the Grammys in downtown Los Angeles.

Lizzo turned heads in a floral orange caped gown, while Wright donned a black tuxedo.

Wright is 'everything' to Lizzo

In a lengthy interview with Vanity Fair published on Oct. 11, 2022, the musician said that Wright was her "everything."

“I’ve known him for over six years. He’s everything. We’re just in love. And that’s it," she told the outlet.

She also elaborated more on her stance on monogamy.

“I am not a polyamorous person, I’m not in love with multiple partners. That is not me. He’s the love of my life. We are life mates," she told Vanity Fair, adding that if she wanted to start a business with Wright, she would get married "because that’s when your finances come together."

"I’m not thinking about sex when I think about monogamy and rules," she said. "I’m thinking about the autonomy and independence of him and me. How wonderful would it be to be this complete independent person and to come together to make two complete independent people? 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."

Wright is Lizzo's favorite artist

In a since-deleted post shared in July 2023, Lizzo called Wright her "favorite artist" and urged her fans to stream Wright's new album, "Moxie."

When TODAY.com reached out on Aug. 4, 2023 to ask why Wright had been erased from her Instagram grid, Lizzo's team did not respond.
