Global superstar Lizzo and her partner, Myke Wright, made a dazzling appearance at the 2025 Baby2Baby Gala, an event proudly presented by Paul Mitchell.
The 37-year-old artist, Lizzo, showcased her enviable silhouette in a form-fitting, black sequined gown, complemented by coordinating pumps and an opulent array of diamonds. The "Truth Hurts" sensation accessorized lavishly with a striking diamond choker, a classic tennis bracelet, elegant drop earrings, and several substantial diamond rings, elevating her gala ensemble.
Her beauty look featured voluminous, loosely teased waves, paired with a soft rosy blush and a captivating smoky eye, completing her glamorous aesthetic.
Wright, 39, exuded sophistication in a distinguished monogrammed Gucci blazer, impeccably styled with sleek silk slacks and a pair of chic aviator sunglasses. (This esteemed annual benefit successfully garnered an unprecedented $18 million, furthering Baby2Baby's crucial commitment to assisting vulnerable children.)
A Summer Romance: Tracing the Love Story of Lizzo and Myke Wright
The couple's relationship publicly began in 2022.
“I am surrounded by the most authentic individuals. They aren't concerned with 'Lizzo' the persona; their affection is for Melissa, and every close companion has known me prior to this journey, which I find profoundly significant,” Lizzo, known to loved ones as Melissa Jefferson, shared during a July 2022 appearance on The Breakfast Club. “Even my partner, he too was aware of me before this era. We shared a friendship. There's a distinct connection when someone knew you before 2019.”
Several months subsequent to that revelation, Lizzo provided further details regarding her romance, addressing speculation about potential next steps in their partnership.
“I have shared a connection with him for more than six years. He embodies everything to me. We are simply enamored, and that is the essence of it. Society often champions monogamy with almost fervent devotion,” the Yitty brand visionary disclosed to Vanity Fair in October 2022. “I am not inclined towards polyamory, nor am I romantically involved with multiple individuals. That is not my path. He is, unequivocally, the love of my life.”
She further elaborated, “We are companions for life. As for the prospect of marriage? If I were to embark on a professional venture with him, then a marital union would be a consideration, as that often signifies the merging of financial interests.”
Following three years of their romance, Lizzo opted to shield particular facets of her personal relationship from public scrutiny.
“Much of my private world remains hallowed,” she conveyed during a May interview on The Breakfast Club. “My criterion for what I disclose to the world, you ask? If you genuinely cherish something, safeguard its intimacy. There are elements I now actively protect, whereas previously, I wouldn't have perceived them as needing defense. I once viewed it as, ‘I am withholding something from my admirers and the general public. I desire for you all to witness it.’”

Lizzo elaborated that soon after officially unveiling her romance with Wright, she reconsidered the extent of details she wished to disseminate across social media platforms.
“In an instant, it became apparent: ‘There’s a lack of decorum here. Your access has been rescinded,’” she playfully remarked. “All those endearing moments and expressions of Black love? Sequestered away. I refuse to grant anyone the chance to compromise something precious. I realized that the negativity wasn't primarily directed at my relationship, but rather at extraneous factors.”
Lizzo further elaborated, “It was a conscious decision: ‘I prefer not to provide that opening; with all due respect and love for everyone, a revised approach to my personal life dictates I must safeguard this,’ for I witnessed numerous previous relationships be undermined by falsehoods. I was determined to prevent a similar fate for my current partnership.”
