Lizzo shares when she lost her v!rginity

Lizzo thinks it’s about damn time she opens up about her s3x life

The “Cuz I Love You” singer revealed she didn’t lose her virginity until 2020, when she was in her 30s, due to a pact she’d made when she was younger not to do the deed until she’d won a Grammy.

After earning her first award from the Recording Academy in 2020, she made good on her promise.

“I was a late bloomer,” Lizzo, 37, said on the March 31 episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast. “I lied about it for a long time.”

“I just promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn’t have sex until I won a Grammy,” she added. “I’m so de.ad ass.”

While Lizzo (born Melissa Viviane Jefferson) clarified that “it was not the night of Grammys” that she lost her v-card, she did share that it was within the same year that she nabbed her Grammys for Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 2020 event.

Though the “About Damn Time” hitmaker is known for advocating for sexual expression, she revealed that she felt shame about having sex later in life, noting how good it felt to get the “weight” off her chest now.

“I used to lie,” she said, later adding, “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?’”F

“I said, ‘I love the D.’ I said that,” she explained. “And it held me over for a little while.”

She also shared how her religious beliefs enabled her to wait before exploring that side of herself.

“When we were teenagers at my church,” she explained, “we all made a pact that we wouldn’t do anything before marriage. And then, I was just so scared. Like, nobody wanted to kiss me.”

And losing her virginity wasn’t the only milestone Lizzo reached later in life: she also revealed she didn’t have her first kiss until she was 21.

“It was terrible,” she said of the experience. “I was actually very upset about it because it was a New Year’s Eve thing and he forced it on me. I was really mad and I was like, ‘My first kiss is ruined.’ I was so mad.”

While she didn’t divulge who her firsts were with, Lizzo noted how her boyfriend Myke Wright—who has been dating the artist since 2022—has made up for her past unpleasant interactions.

“I don’t like tonguing or swapping of spit,” Lizzo admitted. “The only person I like it with is my man. I can’t stand it with anyone else.”
