This is super sad: Demi Lovato and Max Ehrlich have called off their engagement. A source told People (open in new tab), "It was a tough decision, but Demi and Max have decided to go their separate ways to focus on their respective careers." The two have a lot of respect and love for each other and will always cherish their time together," the source said.

Lovato and Ehrlich began dating in March and were later quarantined together; on July 22, Ehrlich proposed to Lovato." The moment I met you, I knew I loved you," she later wrote on Instagram." You never pressure me to be anything other than who I am. And you make me want to be my best self. I am honored to be accepted into your marriage."

According to People, what ended their relationship was the new distance between them, as Ehrlich began filming in Atlanta while Lovato remained in Los Angeles. A source explained (open in new tab), "Demi and Max were basically together 24/7 for months." 'They lived in a bubble of zero stress and everything was just fun. Now they are both working and on separate coasts." As a result, the two began to "clash," the source said.

Another source attributed the breakup to Erich's rising profile." Max soared in fame and it was difficult," they said." He got caught up (in Hollywood)."

They said that "he was a very good friend of Erich's, and he was a very good friend of mine.

There is nothing pleasant about the breakup, but thankfully Lovato feels okay: a source told People that she is "fine," adding that the split is "a good thing." So far, neither Lovato nor Ehrlich have directly addressed the breakup.
