Lizzo has denied splitting from boyfriend Myke Wright after a two-year romance – in the wake of shocking sexual harassment and abuse claims against the singer.
The Juice hitmaker, 35, and Wright, who began dating in 2021 after co-hosting MTV live music show Wonderland in 2016, were hit with shared claims after the pair unfollowed each other on social media and Lizzo deleted all of their photos together.
However, a spokesperson for the star has told DailyMail.com that there is “no truth” to the claims that the pair have gone their separate ways.
Lizzo has previously labeled Wright the “love of my life,” and last month she posted a romantic photo with the hunk captioned, “Selfie with my favorite artist.”

A source told the American sun: ‘Lizzo has had a very rough time in recent weeks and her relationship has suffered. They had a big fight and she is really upset.
“Both saw themselves as soul mates, so it was hard for them to end it.
“Those close to them hope they will make amends.”
The couple has been publicly linked since October 2021, according to People, with the Good As Hell singer confirming their relationship during an appearance on Radio Andy in April 2022.
In June 2022, the two made their first public debut at an event for Lizzo’s Amazon Prime Video show, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
And then, last December, Lizzo came out and declared her love for Wright during a performance on The Howard Stern Show.
At one point during the interview, Stern asked about her love life, and if she and Wright are exclusive that would-be daters shouldn’t waste their time trying to woo her.

“Listen, don’t waste your time honey, I’m very much in love and Myke,” she told Stern, adding that she’s “absolutely” in love, “100 percent.”
Explaining how she has always put her career first, the Goos As Hell star further revealed that she and Wright resorted to just friendship in the past.
“I had a lot to do, and I was still very much on my ‘I don’t feel loved,’ and I still wasn’t where I wanted to be career,” she said of their former platonic relationship.
But she recognized something else when it came to Wright and their chemistry.
“With (Wright) it was different because when you love something and you let it go and when it’s meant to be, it comes back to you. And we both let it go because we both had a lot to do in our lives,” she explained.
“And when the time was right, we got together and we were like, ‘Us together the other day.’ This is official because I’m very traditional about certain things. We need to have the talk. It needs to be discussed.’
She further clarified that neither ‘plays games with each other anymore; we are very locked up.’

When asked if she thought the romance was headed towards marriage and kids, Lizzo announced, “There’s no one else I’m going to be with for the rest of my life,” just as she burst into laughter.
Lizzo has come under fire in recent days after several of her former backup dancers filed a lawsuit accusing her of sexual harassment and claiming she had fat-shamed some of them.
The trio of accusers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez – were “completely disheartened” after Lizzo denied their claims in a statement, accusing the three dancers of having engaged in “inappropriate and unprofessional” behavior while they worked for her.
The three women responded to Lizzo’s denial in a statement to DailyMail.com from their lawyer, Ron Zambrano.
“Lizzo has failed her own brand and disappointed her fans. Her denial of this reprehensible behavior only adds to the emotional stress of our clients,” he said. “The dismissive comments and total lack of empathy say a lot about her character and only serve to minimize the trauma she has caused to the prosecutors and other employees who have now come forward to share their own negative experiences.”

He continued, “While Lizzo notes that it was never her intention ‘to make anyone feel uncomfortable,’ that is exactly what she did to the point of demoralizing her dancers and blatantly breaking the law.”
Lizzo’s problems seem to be mounting after the number of dancers who made accusations against her reportedly tripled.
Ron Zambrano, the attorney representing Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, told the court Wednesday NBC news that six new dancers who claimed to have toured with Lizzo or worked on her Amazon series claimed that Lizzo had created a “sexually charged environment” and that she had failed to pay some employees.
One of the trio’s original claims is that Lizzo allegedly invited her dancers to a stop at Amsterdam’s Red Light District, where they felt uncomfortable.
Once there, the women claimed the rapper harassed them into doing things that made them uncomfortable, including “catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.”
They also claimed that Lizzo invited them to a nude cabaret bar in Paris, without informing them first that the performers would be naked.
They claim that the lack of warning before arriving at the cabaret “deprived them of the choice not to participate.”
Lizzo has been dropped from the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show consideration.
Now, an NFL insider tells DailyMail.com exclusively that the subsequent backlash over the allegations prompted the organization to immediately drop Lizzo from competing for the Super Bowl Halftime Show — after previously having her name in the mix. as one of the frontrunners for the 2024 spectacle.
“The rumors that Lizzo would be part of the Halftime festivities, or play the national anthem, are dead as she is surrounded by scandal,” the source said in the wake of the allegations – which Lizzo vehemently denies.
