Lizzo is baring it all.
The âAbout Damn Timeâ chart-topper admitted that she didnât lose her virginity until her 30s â and spent years lying about it to save face as part of a promise she made when she was younger involving her first Grammy Award.
âI was a late bloomer. I lied about it for a long time,â the 37-year-old confessed to âFriends Keep Secretsâ podcast hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco.
After the hosts tried guessing when it finally happened, Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, spilt that it was in 2020.
âIsnât that crazy?â she said. âI wasnât even thinking about it ⊠I promised myself when I was younger that I wouldnât have sex until I won a Grammy.â
While the room erupted, Lil Dicky couldnât resist asking whether she wouldâve eventually caved without the trophy.
Lizzo laughed it off, clarifying, âIt was not the night of Grammys,â but confirmed it happened soon after she picked up her first Grammy in 2020.
That night, she picked up three awards: Best Pop Solo Performance (âTruth Hurtsâ), Best Urban Contemporary Album (deluxe version of âCuz I Love Youâ) and Best Traditional R&B Performance (âJeromeâ).
She was also nominated for Best New Artist, Record of the Year (âTruth Hurtsâ), Album of the Year (âCuz I Love Youâ deluxe), Song of the Year (âTruth Hurtsâ) and Best R&B Performance (âExactly How I Feelâ).
Before that milestone, Lizzo said she was straight-up bluffing her way through awkward social moments â including one painfully relatable college memory at the University of Houston.
âI feel a weight off of my chest right now,â she admitted. âIt was so embarrassing. I was in a friend group of girls. We were all girling one night and it was like, âWait, Lizzo are you a virgin?ââ
âAnd I remember being like, âNo!ââ she continued. âI was remember it was so embarrassing. I said, âI love the Dâ ⊠And it held me over for a little while.â
As it turns out, even Lizzoâs first kiss was a disaster.
âYaâll have no idea. It was religious for me, too. Like, when we were teenagers at my church, we all made a pact that we wouldnât do anything before marriage,â she explained. âAnd then, I was just so scared. Like, nobody wanted to kiss me.â
When it finally happened at 21, it didnât exactly live up to the hype.
âI was actually very upset about it,â Lizzo said. âIt was a New Yearâs Eve thing and he forced it on me. I was really mad and I was like, âMy first kiss is ruined.â I was so mad.â
Lizzoâs love life has since had a major glow-up.
The singer is now coupled with Myke Wright, whom sheâs known since 2016 when they were co-hosts for MTVâs âWonderlandâ and went public with in 2022.
âI am very much in love with Myke. 100 percent,â she told Howard Stern in 2022. âThereâs nobody else Iâm going to be with for the rest of my life.â
Earlier this month, Lizzo rocked a sparkly pink minidress while showing off her noticeably slimmer figure while performing in Houston.
The star has lost around 60 pounds and 16 percent of her body fat since 2023, as part of her ongoing âweight releaseâ journey.
