In an appearance on the Friends Keep Secrets<\/a> podcast on Tuesday, Lizzo shared that she didn\u2019t have sex for the first time until after she won her first Grammy. Speaking to hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco, the singer said she didn\u2019t lose her virginity until 2020, when she was in her 30s. \u201cI was a late bloomer. I lied about it for a long time,\u201d she said, explaining,\u00a0\u201cI promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn\u2019t have sex until I won a Grammy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lizzo said she had sex sometime after the 2020 Grammys, where she took home three awards: Best Pop Solo Performance for \u201cTruth Hurts,\u201d Best Traditional R&B Performance for \u201cJerome,\u201d and \u201cBest Urban Contemporary Album\u201d for Cuz I Love You. To be clear, she didn\u2019t do it the exact same day \u2014 \u201cIt was not the night of Grammys,\u201d she said \u2014 but sometime in the months that followed.<\/p>\n

Lizzo said it was a relief sharing the story after so many years of keeping it a secret. \u201cI feel a weight off of my chest right now,\u201d she said, explaining how she \u201cused to lie\u201d about it to save face. \u201cI was in a friend group of girls [in college]. We were all girling one night and [one of them] was just like, \u2018Wait, Lizzo, are you a virgin?\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cI remember being like, no! I remember it was so embarrassing. I said, \u2018I love the D.\u2019 I said that \u2014 it was so fucking embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lizzo is in a relationship with musician and TV personality Myke Wright, whom she went public with in 2022. On the podcast, Lizzo said they first met in 2016 while co-hosting MTV\u2019s music series Wonderland, but they didn\u2019t begin dating until 2021. Apparently, the kissing is pretty good. \u201cI don\u2019t like tonguing or swapping of spit,\u201d Lizzo said. \u201cThe only person I like it with is my man \u2014 I can\u2019t stand it with anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
