Lizzo Says She Waited to Have Sex Until After Winning Grammys

The confession shows how a strict church upbringing set a career-first rule for her private life.

Overview

  • Lizzo disclosed on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast that she vowed as a teen not to have sex until she won a Grammy.
  • She said she lost her virginity in 2020 after taking home three Grammys, placing her first sexual experience at about age 31.
  • She admitted she had long lied to friends about being sexually active and said telling the truth lifted a weight off her chest.
