Boyfriend’s ‘Where Did It Go’ Comment Explained
Lizzo has shared a fresh perspective on her approach to weight loss. In a candid interview, the Grammy-winning artist reflected on how a simple question from her boyfriend, Myke Wright, shifted her perspective on weight loss.
Lizzo revealed that a remark from her boyfriend, Myke Wright, changed how she viewed her weight and changed her language around it.
During a recent appearance on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, the singer discussed her journey, which she now refers to as “weight release.” She recalled a moment when she excitedly told Wright that she had lost five pounds, to which he replied, “Where did it go?” Though initially upset by the comment, Lizzo said she no longer wants to “lose anything.”
Lizzo said, “I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there’s young people who are watching me, and they’re experiencing what I’m putting into the world.” She added, “They’re applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.”
She emphasized that the media’s portrayal of weight changes affected her growing up and shaped her “brain chemistry.” The singer said, “Even me releasing the weight has affected people, and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility.” Now, she wants to promote a message that helps people feel “comfortable and less afraid of it.”
Lizzo has been candid about her health journey for over a year. In March 2024, she told The New York Times that she wants her approach to be “methodical” and consistent. Meanwhile, she confirmed her relationship in April 2022. The singer said that she was dating Myke Wright. While they keep their relationship mostly private, she’s been open about his support.
