What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and on top of many sources previously
reporting that Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich were heading toward a split, TMZ has just
confirmed the rumors that the two have officially ended their two-month engagement.
So what exactly went wrong?
We’re gonna break this all down to the best of our ability, but again, we do want to state
that neither Demi, Max, nor their teams have yet to officially confirm the split.
We are simply reporting what sources have told various outlets such as TMZ, People,
E!, Page Six and more.
Just this morning, TMZ confirmed what many outlets had previously alleged, saying QUOTE,
“TMZ has confirmed the singer and actor called off their engagement.”
On top of TMZ’s confirmation, MANY sources have come forward to explain the conflicts
that led to the couple’s alleged decision to split after two months of being engaged,
so we will be sharing details and examples as to what potentially led to the fallout.
Ok, so according to these sources, there were many signs and red flags that might’ve led
to Demi and Max’s split over the past few months.
After Page Six’s shocking report on Thursday, sources with prior knowledge of the situation
confirmed to TMZ, People and E! News that it was a “tough decision” for Demi and
Max to end their engagement.
They said QUOTE, “Demi and Max have decided to go their separate ways to focus on their
respective careers.
They have respect and love for one another and will always cherish the time they spent
together.”
As many fans know, the two began dating just as lockdown measures were put in place, which
was reportedly part of their problem as they basically only knew life in quarantine.
The insider revealed QUOTE, “Demi and Max were basically together 24/7 for months.
They lived in a bubble with zero stress, and everything was just fun.
Now they are both working and are on separate coasts.”
While Max flew to Atlanta to film a project, Demi remained in LA when the source also added
that the two were “having conflicts.”
However, just weeks ago, Demi appeared on SiriusXM Hits 1 and revealed that quarantining
with Max “accelerated” their relationship.
She said QUOTE, “We were able to share this time together that we wouldn't have normally
gotten to spend.
And that accelerated our relationship on a level that you can't really explain to people,
but quarantine either makes or breaks the deal.
And it really made that.
So I'm really blessed, really fortunate and continuing to count my blessings every day.”
Another insider suggested that it was the distance that “put a strain” on their
relationship, adding QUOTE, “Max shot up in fame, and it's been hard.
He got wrapped up in Hollywood.”
Speaking of getting wrapped up in Hollywood, many fans have been weary of Max’s intentions
with Demi in light of old resurfaced alleged screenshots of Max leaving thirsty comments
on many high-profile female celebrities’ social media pages.
Just weeks ago, fans began sharing old screenshots and videos of Max professing his love to Selena
Gomez, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Madison Beer -- one tweet even calling Selena “way
prettier” than Demi.
At the time, Demi issued a statement to her Instagram stories siding with Max claiming
that the posts and screenshots were “fake” and “doctored.”
This issue could’ve just as easily contributed to the fact that Demi reportedly flew to Atlanta
with Max after sources claimed QUOTE, “They were arguing a lot and Demi didn't want him
to go without her.”
E! News reported last week that Demi did end up traveling to Atlanta to be closer to Max
while he worked, but that she’s since returned to LA because quote, “There has been a lot
of tension and Demi left him to get a clear head.”
On top of the constant arguing, the source went on to say that Demi realized QUOTE “she
didn't know who Max truly was and didn't think he had good intentions,” adding, “There
were many red flags she was ignoring and trying to turn a blind eye to.”
This led another source to chime in and add that Demi, QUOTE “...doesn't trust him and
thinks he's sketchy” and that she “feels he proposed to get attention.”
These doubts were likely mirrored by Demi’s mother, Diana, who sources revealed expressed
her concerns, along with Demi’s close friends who were reportedly “warning” her about
Max.
Demi’s close circle reportedly believed that it was “best” for her to end things
with him “sooner rather than later.”
It’s clear that Demi really loved Max and wanted their relationship to work out, which
is why she is allegedly “upset and distraught about it,” however the two both appear to
be keeping busy with their tight work schedules.
Fans took Demi’s Instagram story she shared yesterday as a slight hint that things were
over after she snapped a short video sans engagement ring while zooming in on her shirt
that said, “Dogs over people.”
She also shared behind-the-scenes footage of herself getting glammed up for another
project, just hours after sharing her upcoming collaboration with popular virtual therapy
app TalkSpace.
Max has also been sharing footage from his work projects, but fans also pointed out that
he’s also been sharing many cryptic religious mantras to his stories over the past 48 hours.
As we previously stated, Demi has since returned to LA where her family and close friends have
“rallied around her.”
No breakup is easy and this is likely the last thing Demi pictured when getting engaged
just two months ago, however, another source revealed that she is “doing okay” and
that this breakup “is a good thing.”
As always, we’re wishing Demi nothing but happiness and healing during this difficult
time, if all these reports are accurate and it seems her fans can all agree that she deserves
the absolute best, whether that be with Max or not.
We will keep you guys posted should Demi speak out on everything directly.
