Lizzo stepped out in Los Angeles radiating confidence and joy as she enjoyed an elegant evening with her boyfriend, Myke Wright, following his art gallery event. The Grammy-winning vocalist, aged 37, beamed with happiness as she departed the venue alongside Wright, showcasing a glamorous ensemble that captured everyone's attention.
A Glamorous Evening Outfit
The singer made a stunning fashion statement in a shimmering silver mini dress featuring a daring keyhole neckline. She paired this eye-catching piece with sheer black tights and sophisticated pointed heels, creating a look that was both chic and bold. Lizzo accessorised her outfit with classic hoop earrings and a sleek black clutch, completing her glamorous appearance.
Meanwhile, Wright opted for a more relaxed yet polished aesthetic, wearing black trousers with a crisp white T-shirt and a tailored blazer. He finished his look with tinted sunglasses, presenting a stylish contrast to his partner's sparkling attire. The couple appeared completely at ease as they walked side by side through the crowd, with Lizzo visibly glowing with happiness throughout their departure.
From Colleagues to Romantic Partners
The pair first crossed paths in 2016 while working together on MTV's Wonderland programme, where Lizzo served as the music correspondent and Wright took on comedy duties. What began as a professional collaboration gradually evolved into a deep friendship, which eventually blossomed into romance. They were first spotted together publicly in 2021, though they have generally maintained a private approach to their relationship despite increasing public interest.
Navigating Public Scrutiny
In March 2025, Lizzo appeared on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM radio show where she humorously called out the host for previously revealing her relationship status during a 2022 interview. "I really got beef with you because the last time we saw each other you outed me," Lizzo recalled with laughter, referencing the moment Cohen asked whether she was "in love" with Wright while he was present in the room.
Cohen acknowledged his misstep, admitting he had "stepped in it" and hadn't realised the question would disclose her relationship status. Lizzo later explained she felt caught off guard at the time, saying "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.'"
While the incident didn't cause problems between the couple themselves, Lizzo noted it sparked widespread public attention. "It started stuff with the world, though," she observed. "I think when the world sees two happy people, they want to destroy them."
A Friends-to-Lovers Journey
During an appearance on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast in May, Lizzo offered further insight into their relationship, describing their romance as a classic "friends-to-lovers trope." She explained, "We both worked on this TV show for MTV. I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy, and I was just like, 'He's my best friend.'"
"I was like, 'Wow, I can really talk to him,'" she added. "We had this crazy bond for years, and I do love that we were friends first. That means we can talk about anything."
Overcoming Personal Challenges
Lizzo's latest public appearance follows her candid discussion about difficult periods in her life during an August interview with Women's Health UK. The singer revealed she battled depression after facing multiple lawsuits in 2023 from former dancers who accused her of sexual harassment and fostering a hostile work environment.
At the time, she vehemently denied the claims, describing them as "outrageous" and "unbelievable." The lawsuit was ultimately dropped in December 2024 according to reports. While reflecting on that challenging chapter, Lizzo admitted it marked her "lowest" point, saying "It got to the point where it's just like, well... You ever get tired of living? It got to the point where I was like, 'I could die.'"
She clarified that she never attempted to harm herself but struggled deeply with public scrutiny. "If everyone hates you and thinks you're a terrible person, then what's the point?" she recalled thinking during that difficult period.
Body Positivity and Personal Growth
Elsewhere in the interview, Lizzo spoke openly about her body image and past struggles with binge eating, revealing she has lost 60 pounds over the past 14 months through dedicated diet and exercise. Despite these physical changes, she emphasized that her philosophy around body positivity remains fundamentally unchanged.
"I still think I'm big. I'm still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls," she stated. "Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn't exist."
Lizzo also reflected on learning to find confidence from within rather than relying on external validation. "I'm proud of the person I've become," she declared. "I feel like I've turned everything I've been through into growth."
