Demi Lovato opened up about ending her engagement to Max Ehrich, saying that she learned shes too queer to be with a cis man and that the breakup was a relief that I could live my truth.
The pop star, in an interview published in Glamour s March issue, revealed that shes finally discovering her sexuality.
When I started getting older, I started realizing how queer I really am, she told the magazine. This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didnt work, I was like, This is a huge sign. I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasnt going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth.
Lovato got engaged to Ehrich in July 2020 after a whirlwind romance and announced the breakup just two months later.
She told Glamour shes discovered that shes too queer to be with a straight man and that when she hooked up with a girl she realized: I like this a lot more.
It felt better. It felt right. 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 dont want to put my mouth there. It wasnt 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 didnt want the romance from anybody of the opposite sex, said Lovato.
Elsewhere in the interview, Lovato emphasized shes really queer and knows who I am and what I am, but Im just waiting until a specific timeline to come out to the world as what I am.
