Lizzo Celebrates 38th Birthday with Boyfriend Myke Wright at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles

Lizzo Marks 38th Birthday with Romantic Celebration and Album Announcement

Lizzo celebrated her 38th birthday in style earlier this week, enjoying a special outing with her boyfriend, Myke Wright, at the renowned Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. This joyful occasion follows the recent announcement of her upcoming album, titled “Bitch”, which is set for release in early June.

The Grammy-winning artist and her partner, who have been publicly linked since April 2022, first crossed paths in 2016 while cohosting MTV’s music series “Wonderland”. Their relationship blossomed over time, starting as friends before evolving into a romantic partnership.

For her birthday celebration, Lizzo donned an elegant black dress, accented with sheer side panels, complemented by matching heels and sunglasses. She added a touch of glamour with a brown fur shawl draped over her shoulders while she and Wright held hands outside the iconic hotel.

In a recent appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Lizzo shared her thoughts on love and personal growth, reflecting on how she was focusing on herself when she met Wright. “Romantic love, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but it starts off very selfish,” she remarked. “You have to be like, ‘I’m living for me.’ I don’t want to be out here searching for somebody else or searching for a second half. I’m complete,” she explained, adding that she firmly believes being in a good place personally allows one to attract the right partner.

Meeting Wright during their time on “Wonderland” was a pivotal moment for Lizzo. She recalled how their initial friendship blossomed into something deeper. “I was like, ‘Wow, he’s so cool. Like, this is my best friend,’ and I love the friends-to-lovers trope,” she commented. The singer noted that their existing friendship provided a strong foundation for their romance, saying, “When you’re friends there’s no audition…you’re trying to show off the best version of yourself so they can like you,” making their connection feel genuine.

In addition to celebrating her birthday, Lizzo took the opportunity to unveil her next musical project. The album “Bitch” will feature themes of empowerment and self-acceptance. Lizzo elaborated on the significance of the album title, stating, “Reclaiming the word Bitch is power.” She intends for the album to transform a term that has often been used to belittle women into a beacon of confidence and unapologetic self-love.

The artist referenced the influence of other celebrated female musicians who have similarly embraced the term in a positive light, mentioning tracks by Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliott. “So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity,” she said, recalling Brooks’ hit “Bitch” and Elliott’s “She’s a Bitch”. Lizzo concluded that naming her album “Bitch” was a fitting choice because it represents her own empowerment. “I am 100% that bitch!” she affirmed.

Fans can look forward to the release of the album’s title track, which interpolates Brooks’ original song, set to drop on May 1. The announcement has generated significant excitement among Lizzo’s followers and the wider music community alike, further showcasing her ongoing evolution as an artist.

As she celebrated this milestone in her life, Lizzo continues to inspire with her journey of self-love and authenticity. Her latest album promises to further affirm her position as a strong voice for empowerment in the music industry, encouraging fans to embrace their true selves unapologetically.
