While Lizzo and Myke Wright were first romantically linked in March 2021, they only became Instagram official this past February.

AND the star because i love you she used the sweet snap to help promote her boyfriend’s latest music release, titled Moxie.
“Selfie with my favorite artist,” Lizzo (born Melissa Viviane Jefferson), 35, shared in the photo’s caption, before urging her 13.5 million fans and followers to “stream Moxie.”

Lizzo, who is currently on tour, is seen in the image sporting blonde and light brown locks that flow long and straight down her back with a parting down the middle.
Wright, 36, can be seen shirtless as he leans against his lady as sun streaming through a window illuminates part of the right side of his face, arm and chest.
The musician, actor and comedian has his raven hair styled in long, thin braids, which cover parts of his right shoulder and a center part.
Sporting a well-groomed beard and mustache, Wright also appears to be relaxed and content at the time of the photo.
For the second half of the Instagram post, Lizzo continued her promotional push for Wright’s new album Moxie by sharing the definition of the word, which is described as “strength of character, determination, or nerve.”
A few days earlier, Wright took to his Instagram page and explained how he came to choose this project to call Moxie.
“I got obsessed with the word last year (it happens a lot),” he shared in the caption, along with a photoshopped photo of former US President Bill Clinton holding the Moxie vinyl album.
‘It accurately summed up how every day we all have to build up the courage to truly present ourselves to the world. For me especially, getting over the illusion of perfection and enjoying the ride,’ he said of his thought process.✨

He then revealed his songwriting process for the record, where he would make a track, with the goal that “the next song doesn’t sound like its predecessor.”
Wright argues that the personal challenge resulted in “a variety of sounds, structures, and genres with the only thing in common being that I made them.”
The couple has been publicly linked since October 2021, according to People, with the Good As Hell singer confirming their relationship during an appearance on Radio Andy in April 2022.
In June 2022, the two made their first public debut at an event on Lizzo’s Amazon Prime Video show Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
And then last December, Lizzo came out and declared her love for Wright during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
At one point during the interview, Stern asked about her love life, and if she and Wright are exclusive that prospective boyfriends shouldn’t waste their time flirting with her.
“Listen, don’t waste your time honey, I’m so in love with Myke,” she told Stern, adding that she is “absolutely” in love, “100 percent.”
Explaining how she’s always put her career first, the Goos As Hell star revealed that she and Wright have resorted to being just friends in the past.
“I had a lot going on, and I was still very much in my ‘I feel like an unpleasant place,’ and I still wasn’t where I wanted to be career-wise,” she said of her past platonic relationship. .

But he recognized something different when it came to Wright and their chemistry.
‘With [Wright] It was different because when you love something and you let it go and if it’s meant to be, it comes back to you. And we both let it slide because we both had a lot going on in our lives,” she explained.
And then when the time was right, we got together and just recently said, “We’re together.” This is official because I am very traditional in certain things. We have to have the talk. It needs to be discussed.’
He went on to make it clear that neither of them are ‘playing games with each other; we are very locked up.
When asked if she thought the romance was heading towards marriage and children, Lizzo said, “I’m not going to be with anyone else for the rest of my life,” as she burst out laughing.
