Demi Lovato's Complete Dating History, From Wilmer Valderrama to Joe Jonas
In their 2017 documentary Simply Complicated, Lovato reflected on the beginning and end of their six-year relationship with Wilmer Valderrama. “I met him on January 11, 2010,” they remembered. “I thought, ‘I have to have him,’ but I was only 17 and he was like, ‘Get away from me’,” as he was more than 12 years older. “When I turned 18 we started dating. I think it was love at first sight, we connected on a level that I’ve never connected with anybody before, he was just my rock, my everything.”
The pair announced their breakup in a joint statement to social media in 2016. “After almost six loving and wonderful years together, we have decided to end our relationship,” the statement read.”This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends.”
The former couple has remained in each other’s lives. Valderrama reportedly visited Lovato during their 2018 hospitalization for a drug overdose. At the start of 2020, Valderrama announced his engagement to model Amanda Pacheco. A source told E! that Lovato was “happy for Wilmer if he’s happy. [They] always want the best for him in life and [are] glad he has found love.”
