A confession that breaks a taboo. Lizzo explained that she had her first sexual relationship after the age of 30. On April 1, 2026, the performer of the hit song “About Damn Time” was a guest on the podcast “Friends Keep Secrets”, hosted by Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco. This was an opportunity for the singer to reflect on this milestone reached in 2020: “I didn’t even think about it… I had promised myself, when I was younger, not to have sex until I won a Grammy Award.”
That year, Lizzo won three awards: Best Pop Solo Performance for “Truth Hurts”, Best Contemporary Urban Album for the deluxe version of “Cuz I Love You”, and Best Traditional R&B Performance for “Jerome”. And shortly after that night, she finally lost her virginity.
Living a lie to fit in
A rare situation that had long embarrassed her. Lizzo shared a memory from her university days: “It was so awkward. I was with friends. We were having a girls’ night and then someone asked me: ‘Wait, Lizzo, are you a virgin?’ And I remember replying: ‘No!’ It was so awkward. I said: ‘I love sex’…”
The singer’s first kiss at the age of 21 also did not go well: “It was on New Year’s Eve and he forced me. I was furious and thought to myself: ‘My first kiss is ruined!’ I was beside myself.” Speaking out to break the silence on so-called “late” sexuality.
Lizzo is in a relationship with TV host and musician Myke Wright. Although they have known each other since 2016, the couple officially announced their relationship in 2022.
