KEY POINTS

  • Lizzo told potential suitors not to "waste" their time because she's "very much in love" with Myke Wright
  • The "About Damn Time" singer said she was in her "unlovable" place when she met her boyfriend
  • Lizzo said she and Wright were friends before they started dating

Lizzo is no longer entertaining suitors.

The 34-year-old singer made it clear during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" Tuesday that she's fully committed to her relationship with boyfriend Myke Wright.

"Don't waste your time, honey. I am very much in love with Myke," Lizzo told any potential suitors.

The "About Damn Time" songstress explained that she and Wright knew each other long before they started dating. They met in 2016 on the set of the MTV show "Wonderland."

Lizzo acknowledged that there was "sexual tension" between them at the time, but they didn't do anything about it and went their separate ways when the show ended.

"I had a lot of s--t to do, and I still was very much in my 'I feel unlovable' place, and I still was very much not where I wanted to be career-wise," the singer explained. "Even if a person came around that I was googly gaga about, I had these wild defenses up that made it almost impossible for a true intimate relationship to occur."

"When the time was right, we came together, and we just recently were like, 'Oh, we're together. This is official,'" she said, adding that they've even had "the talk." "We're not playing any games with each other anymore. We're very much locked in."

Asked whether they plan to tie the knot, the "Good as Hell" hitmaker said that she feels she's found the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with in Wright.

"There's nobody else I'm going to be with for the rest of my life," she said.

Lizzo was first spotted with the comedian, actor, musician and artist on Valentine's Day in February. They made their official debut as a couple on the red carpet at a screening for her Emmy-winning reality series, "Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls," Entertainment Tonight reported.

Lizzo previously said during a July appearance on "The Breakfast Club" that she found monogamy "claustrophobic."

However, she told Vanity Fair in an interview published in October that she's not a "polyamorous person."

"I'm not in love with multiple partners. That is not me," she said, adding of Wright: "He's the love of my life. We are life mates."

Lizzo also shared that while she loves weddings, marriage is not her priority.

"I'm not thinking about sex when I think about monogamy and rules. I'm thinking about the autonomy and independence of him and me," she explained. "How wonderful would it be to be this complete independent person and to come together to make two complete independent people? Not that whole 'You complete me, you're my other half.' No. I'm whole, and you're incredible too. We're like the mirror image of each other. We're connected. But that doesn't mean I was incomplete when I met him."

Last year, Lizzo made headlines after sharing on TikTok a hilarious video of her flirty drunken direct messages to Chris Evans, as well as his response.

"No shame in a drunk DM [face-throwing-a-kiss emoji] god knows I've done worse on this app lol [facepalm emoji]," Evans replied.

The two celebrities had a few playful exchanges on social media that entertained fans.

Lizzo later addressed the rumors that she was dating Evans and having his baby when she made her hosting debut on "Saturday Night Live" in April.

"I read a lot of gossip online that I'm dating every little white boy in Hollywood," Lizzo said. "They think I'm collecting members of One Direction like Infinity Stones. I even heard a rumor that I'm pregnant with Chris Evans' baby."

"I have no idea where that one started," she joked, before suggesting, "It could be the TikTok I did ...Where I said, 'I'm pregnant with Chris Evans' baby, y'all.'"

She jokingly added, "It's called manifesting!"
