Lizzo shares insight on her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright

Lizzo discusses her deep bond with boyfriend Myke Wright, revealing their friends-to-lovers transition on Jake Shane’s 'Therapuss' podcast.

"I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything. - Lizzo"

Los Angeles, May 16

Singer-songwriter Lizzo is sharing the relationship history of her boyfriend Myke Wright and herself. On the recent episode of 'Therapuss' with Jake Shane, the Grammy winner, 37, spoke about her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright and how they first met nearly a decade ago.

Towards the end of the episode, the 'Truth Hurts' singer and podcast host were "prescribing" advice to listeners, and were asked about two friends making the jump from platonic to romantic, reports 'People' magazine.

As they continued to dish out their opinions, Lizzo revealed that she and her boyfriend first met as friends, telling Shane, 25, "I had a friends-to-lovers trope".

"We both worked on this one TV show, (Wonderland), for MTV. I was the music girl, he was the comedy guy", she said. "I was just like, 'He's my best friend'".

"I didn't have any guy friends like that, well, I did because you know I'm in the music industry. But I was like 'Wow, I can really talk to him. We had this crazy bond for years", she continued. "I do love that we were friends first, so that means we can talk about anything".

"He's your best friend", Shane replied. "Literally", agreed the 'Good As Hell' singer. She then confessed, "That is low-key like a fantasy. Right? It's like a 'Book-Tok' dream to be like, 'Oh my God, like he was my best friend'".

Lizzo and Wright confirmed their romance in April 2022, after Andy Cohen accidentally "outed" their relationship when she appeared on his radio show that month. Two months later, they made their red carpet debut at a 'For Your Consideration' event for her Watch Out for the Big Grrrls Amazon Prime Video reality.

Months later, in a December 2022 interview on 'The Howard Stern Show', she spoke about the evolution of their relationship, saying that they're "not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in".

It's so refreshing to see a celebrity relationship that started as genuine friendship! In India, we also value deep connections before romance. Wishing them happiness ❤️

Friends-to-lovers is such a Bollywood trope! 😄 Reminds me of so many SRK movies. But seriously, it's nice to see real life imitating art in healthy ways.

While I'm happy for them, I wonder if there's too much focus on celebrity relationships in media. We have so many important issues in India that need attention. Just saying!

As someone who married my childhood friend, I totally relate to this! In Indian culture, we often have arranged marriages, but love that grows from friendship is equally beautiful.

Interesting how Western celebrities share so much about their personal lives. In India, we tend to be more private about relationships. Different strokes for different folks!
