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.

Im following my healers timeline, and Im using this time to really study and educate myself on my journey and what Im preparing to do, she said.

The interview comes ahead of a YouTube docuseries, set to drop later this month, that will explore the pop stars personal life, including her near-fatal overdose in 2018.
