Lizzo confirms she’s in a relationship, says boyfriend isn’t bothered by her fame

Truth hurts! Lizzo confirmed she has a boyfriend after joking about her rumored romances while hosting Saturday Night Live.

The pop star, 33, was asked about her relationship status during an interview on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy. When host Andy Cohen brought up her recent Valentine’s Day outing with a “mystery man” at Craig’s in West Hollywood — whom she was also spotted with, in Beverly Hills in October 2021 — he wondered whether Lizzo was still wooing the unnamed suitor.

“Yeah, whatever,” she said with a laugh. “Yeah.” Though Cohen, 53, believed it might be “hard” to date in the spotlight, the “Jerome” performer disagreed. “If you have the right person, no, not at all. It is not even a factor,” she said of her fame. “It should be mutually supportive no matter what that person does.”

Lizzo (real name Melissa Jefferson) even revealed that her beau was cheering her on during her hosting debut on the NBC comedy series. “You get the scoop, don’t you?” she teased the Bravo exec. “It feels good [to have people rooting for me].”
