The rumors are true.
People reports that singer Demi Lovato and soap opera actor Max Ehrich have broken off their engagement. The former couple, who began dating in March of this year and got engaged in July, had been in the news in recent weeks after stans resurfaced old tweets of Ehrich’s dating back to 2010 where he was thirsting after Selena Gomez—Lovato’s childhood best friend. (Along with the tweets, there are also screencaps from various Instagram Lives where Ehrich talks about his crush on Gomez.)
Lovato initially responded on her Instagram Stories, saying “it’s really sad when people FAKE images to pit women against each other. If women have conflict that’s between them NOT YOU.” But despite Lovato’s claims, it seems clear that Ehrich definitely posted at least some of those tweets, and at the very least that the actor has spoken publicly for many years now about his crush on Selena Gomez. And it’s understandable that this lusting over Gomez would cause some… waves in Ehrich’s relationship with Lovato. The former Disney stars’ friendship has been on and off over the years, and even though there doesn’t seem to be bad blood at the moment, Lovato clarified in an April interview that although she will “always have love for [Selena],” at the time the two were “not friends.”
