Inside the Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama split
¿Qué pasó? Doesn’t seem as if there will be a Wilmer Valderrama-Demi Lovato wedding in the near future. After nearly six years together, the Miami-born actor and pop singer called it quits last week, realizing they were better off as friends.
“It had turned into more of a big brother-little sister kind of relationship,” a source tells E! News.
They announced their decision on social media Friday, and by the sounds of it, the situation is amicable.
The post is bittersweet, saying the breakup “was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends.”

“The romance wasn’t what it used to be. That said, Wilmer is still very protective of her. He did a lot for her, not just in terms of being there for her when she had her health issues but really helping build her brand and launch her product lines. You never saw him out in front though. He never tried to ride her fame.”
Lovato just lost another person in her life, she wrote on Instagram — her great grandmother.
