While shooting a video to encourage young people of color to vote, Lovato said she couldn’t resist Valderrama’s looks and charm, per Bustle.

“We have been together for almost five years now, off and on,” she said. “The only times that we were off was when I was not in a healthy state of mind, or he was like, ‘I can’t be with you until you get sober. I can’t enable what you’re doing right now.’… So I did, and then that made our relationship so much stronger.”

Although they decided to end their relationship in 2016, the pair are still close. Lovato has said they are great friends, and she wanted to maintain that part of their relationship after the breakup.
