Lovato,Valderrama reunite for photo year after their split
LOS ANGELES: It has been a year since Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama called it quits and the two are still the cutest “couple,” E! Online reports.
In June 2016, the two announced on Instagram that they had ended their relationship after almost six “loving and wonderful years together,” adding, “we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends.”
According to people.com, Lovato later spoke candidly about the breakup. She told Glamour last year that she leaned on Valderrama as she addressed her struggles with an eating disorder, mental illness and substance abuse throughout their relationship.
“I think it’s healthy to be able to start over with someone else,” she said. “Being sick was always a part of my relationship with him; I always had something wrong with me. I needed to let go of that.”
Lovato and Valderrama reunited recently at a barbecue at her house. She posted on her Instagram stories and photos of the two looking happy together.
“Best of friends no matter what,” she wrote on Instagram.
Lovato and Valderrama’s reunion comes a couple of months after the singer broke up with her mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter boyfriend, Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos. The two started dating late last year.
Last fall, Valderrama was linked romantically to Minka Kelly, after the two had dinner together in Los Angeles and also vacationed in Mexico with friends. The actress later said the two are “good friends.”
