Demi Lovato says that ending her engagement to her ex-fiance, The Young and the Restless alum Max Ehrich, offered her a “huge sign” in realizing her sexuality as a queer woman.
As many fans can recall, Demi cut things off with Max only after a few short months last summer, much to his shock and dismay. Here’s what you need to know.
Speaking to Glamour Magazine in a new interview, Demi says that ending her engagement to the soap opera actor made her realize some key things about her own sexuality and outlook on her future relationships going forward.
Even though she stopped short of saying that was the reason for the split, she noted that she felt liberated to explore her sexuality after her engagement ended.
Demi Lovato Suggests Ending Engagement To Max Ehrich Made Her Realize She Was Queer
“When I started getting older, I started realizing how queer I really am,” the singer explained. “This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn’t work, I was like, this is a huge sign. I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn’t going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth.”
Demi went on to say that she’s spent the last several months ‘experimenting’ more and educating herself about her sexuality.
“I hooked up with a girl and was like, ‘I like this a lot more.’ It felt better. It felt right,” she told the outlet. “Some of the guys I was hanging out with—when it would come time to be sexual or intimate, I would have this kind of visceral reaction. Like, ‘I just don’t want to put my mouth there.’ It wasn’t even based on the person it was with. I just found myself really appreciating the friendships of those people more than the romance, and I didn’t want the romance from anybody of the opposite sex.”
“I know who I am and what I am, but I’m just waiting until a specific timeline to come out to the world as what I am,” Lovato explained. “I’m following my healers’ timeline, and I’m using this time to really study and educate myself on my journey and what I’m preparing to do.”
