Lizzo is getting real about her relationship status.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, the Grammy-winning singer opened up about her romance with boyfriend Myke Wright.
"I've known him for over six years. He's everything. We're just in love. And that's it," she said of Wright, an actor and comedian.
Lizzo previously made headlines when she expressed her disbelief in monogamy during an appearance on radio show The Breakfast Club.
"Is monogamy a religion?" Lizzo told the outlet. "People fight for monogamy like they pray to it every day. I am not a polyamorous person, I'm not in love with multiple partners. That is not me. He's the love of my life. We are life mates."
On her plans for walking down the aisle someday, Lizzo told Vanity Fair, "Do I want to get married? If I wanted to start a business with him, I'd get married because that's when your finances come together. I like weddings. I would like to have a wedding over a marriage."

Ultimately, Lizzo said she emphasizes the importance of having autonomy in a relationship over having monogamous expectations.
"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 said. "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."
Lizzo confirmed her and Wright's relationship during an interview with Andy Cohen this past April.
