Read our privacy policy Lizzo has revealed how her relationship with her boyfriend Myke Wright “hits different,” and why she values him so much. “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.” Lizzo also opened up about how love saved her life, with the rapper noting that she doesn’t mean literally, but rather that it helped her reach a “better, healthier, safer, happier place”. “Saving your life can also mean, your life was headed in one direction and now it’s going in this direction which is a much better, healthier, safer, happier place because of love.” Prior to accepting love, she said that she was headed toward “a really lonely” path after “becoming a celebrity”, as her friends aren’t famous. “I started to look around and be like: ‘Let me accept their love, accept them for who they are, and let their love be good enough.’ And I have just been covered in love.” Lizzo and Wright made their first red carpet appearance together last month when they attended the screening for her Amazon Prime Video series, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
