Lizzo vowed not to lose her virginity until she won a Grammy

Pop star Lizzo has admitted she “lied” about her virginity “for a long time” admitting she waited until she was in her 30s after promising herself she wouldn’t have sex until she “won a Grammy”.

Lizzo remained a virgin until she was in her 30s after promising herself she wouldn’t have sex until she “won a Grammy”.

The 37-year-old pop star has admitted she “lied” about her virginity “for a long time” because she found her lack of sexual experience “embarrassing” but she finally took the leap back in 2020.

Lizzo made the confession during an appearance on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, saying: “I was a late bloomer. I lied about it for a long time. Can I just tell you the year? 2020. Isn’t that crazy. I wasn’t even thinking about it for me I just promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn’t have sex until I won a Grammy.”

When asked if she would have stuck to her promise if she hadn’t won a Grammy award, Lizzo replied: “Who knows?”

Lizzo won three Grammys in 2020 – taking home Best Pop Solo Performance for Truth Hurts, Best Urban Contemporary Album for Cuz I Love You (Deluxe) and Best Traditional R B Performance for Jerome.

However, the singer insisted she didn’t lose her virginity that night, saying: “It was not the night of the Grammys …”

Lizzo went on to reveal she felt better after sharing her secret because she spent a long time lying about it, adding: “I feel a weight off of my chest right now. It was so embarrassing. I was in a friend group of girls. We were all girling one night and it was like: ‘Wait, Lizzo are you a virgin?’

“I was remember it was so embarrassing. I said: ‘I love the D.’ I said that. And it held me over for a little while.”

Lizzo also opened up about her relationship status revealing she’s enjoying her relationship with comedian/actor Myke Wright.

She explained they first met in 2016 when they worked together on MTV music series Wonderland but they didn’t start dating until 2021.

The singer said: “We met in 2016. We weren’t dating. We worked on an MTV show together … I was kind of a brat back then … We started dating in like 2021 … We stayed in touch … before starting dating].”
