The artist, known mononymously as Lizzo, has recently brought attention to her personal journey through distinct disclosures. She announced a two-month period of abstinence from alcohol, coinciding with a significant "weight release" where she shed approximately 60 pounds. This period of sobriety was shared via Instagram Stories, detailing changes in her diet and exercise routines. Separately, in earlier revelations on the Friends Keep Secrets Podcast, Lizzo spoke about waiting until her 30s, after her first Grammy win in 2020, to experience sexual intimacy.
The singer, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, described her current physical regimen as intentional. Her approach involves incorporating animal protein, utilizing a chef for meal preparation, and cutting out processed items like sugary drinks and potato chips. Physical activities cited include pickleball, hiking, walking on the beach, dancing, and maintaining hydration. These details about her health and wellness journey were also touched upon during an appearance on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast in April 2025.

Previously, during discussions with podcast hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco, Lizzo detailed her experience of remaining a virgin until after securing her initial Grammy Award. She characterized this phase as being a "late bloomer," attributing her delay in sexual experience partly to personal choices and perhaps external perceptions, recalling instances where she felt overlooked romantically. Her first kiss, she mentioned, occurred around age 21, an experience she did not find pleasant. She is reportedly in a relationship with Myke Wright.
