In February, the "Truth Hurts" singer was spotted on another date night, although her suitor attempted to hide his face by wearing a heart-shaped ski mask. One month later, Lizzo gave fans a sneak peek of her romance, sharing a clip of her laughing and kissing a man who was sitting mostly out of frame. "Happyyyyyyyyyyyy," she wrote via Instagram.

The "Juice" singer has long been open about love and dating, telling The Sunday Times in March 2020 that experiencing heartbreak changed her perspective on what she wanted out of life. "It’s different now," she said at the time. "Like, my relationship with my family, I’m working on that. I open myself up to friendships.
