Key Points:

Lizzo revealed on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast that she waited until her 30s to lose her virginity, honoring a pact she made in her youth to wait until winning a Grammy.
The 37-year-old singer won her first Grammy in 2020, taking home three awards that night, but did not immediately fulfill her vow that evening.
She admitted to lying about her virginity for years and shared that she didn’t have her first kiss until age 21 due to religious reasons and fear.
Lizzo described her first kiss as a negative experience, feeling upset because it was forced upon her during a New Year’s Eve event.
Since 2021, Lizzo has been dating comedian Myke Wright, whom she met in 2016 while hosting MTV’s Wonderland, but she maintains a professional boundary when working with men.
