*Lizzo’s rep claims the star and her alleged boyfriend are still together despite the singer removing all images of him from her social media page.

As Daily Mail reports, Lizzo’s rep apparently said there is “no truth” to the breakup rumors. According to The Jasmine Brand, the artist previously described Myke Wright as “the love of her life“. 

The breakup reports come amid the shocking lawsuit against Lizzo by her former dancers accusing her of sexual harassment and weight discrimination.  

As The Jasmine Brand reports, a source close to the couple said Lizzo has been having a “hard time” after her former dancers made accused of creating a toxic work environment.

“Lizzo has taken the past few weeks very hard and her relationship has suffered. They had a big falling out and she is really upset…Both of them have thought of themselves as soulmates, so for it to end has been hard on them,” the insider said, The Sun reports.

“Those close to them are hoping they will make up,” the source added. 

According to the rep, however, it seems the pair are still going strong, for now. Neither Lizzo nor Wright have commented publicly about the situation at this time.

We reported previously that Brooklyn Elizabeth Brown, the ex-girlfriend of Lizzo’s boyfriend claims Myke ended their 10-year relationship so he could be with the singer. Brown took to TikTok on Aug. 3 with her story of meeting Lizzo when she and Wright were co-hosting MTV’s “Wonderland” in 2016.

Brown claimed that the singer didn’t like her and “wasn’t very nice.”

“I kind of ignored it because I felt like well, she’s already in the celebrity scene or whatever, and she probably feels like she has better things to do than talk to me,” Brown recalled in the video.

She continued: “I just noticed that even when we were out to eat or at the beach or something, she still wasn’t very nice to me. And it wasn’t like a production thing like, ‘oh she’s just really busy’ or whatever, she just didn’t like me. She didn’t say anything that was mean. But she was really like, stand-offish or wouldn’t talk to me. When I talked to her it was kind of like, ‘oh, okay. Get the f*ck away from me. I don’t want to talk to you.’”

Brown claimed she eventually learned that her boyfriend and Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, “had something going on.”

“This is the first time I’ve ever been able to freely speak on it, and feel like people will hear what I’m saying and not just like come at me for saying something about somebody they really like,” she said.
