Time to Dissect Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich’s Whirlwind Relationship Timeline

Time to Dissect Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich’s Whirlwind Relationship Timeline

From Cosmopolitan

Demi Lovato and her boyfriend, Max Ehrich, just announced their whirlwind engagement, and we have so much to discuss. These two have only been dating a few months, but apparently, the ~quarantine of it all~ put their relationship on the fast track and now Demi is out here wearing the world’s most massive diamond. And look: While some people might question this lightning-fast proposal, a deep dive into Demi and Max’s relationship timeline makes it clear they’re committed—much like I, an adult woman, am committed to watching Camp Rock once a week. Kay, on that note, here’s how it all started:

December 21, 2019

News breaks that Demi and her boyfriend Austin Wilson have split, and a source explains their vibes simply weren’t compatible:

“Their lifestyles were not meshing. She’s very focused on her sobriety and God and it wasn’t a good fit for that. She’s still working on herself and committed to that. She’s sticking with what she has been doing and working on her music. That’s her focus and nothing is going to change it. They decided it was best to go their separate ways. There are no hard feelings, it just wasn’t going to work with him.”

Demi also allegedly reaches out to a fan and implies there is no drama to be found:

Meanwhile, I stare at my reflection and wonder when I’ll see another human again.

Rumors drop that Max is planning to propose to Demi—despite the fact that they’ve been dating only a few months. “Max plans to propose to Demi after this whole pandemic is resolved and their families wouldn’t be surprised by the proposal,” a source tells Us Weekly. “They think they make a great couple.”

The source adds, “The quarantine has been really great for Demi, and she and Max have gotten so close. She’s doing a great job at staying sober, healthy, and taking care of herself.”

Inside and out you are jaw-droppingly gorgeous. You’re also such a positive lil beam of light in my life and I can’t wait to make more birthday memories together…here’s to the future baby. I love you.”

It’s Demi’s birthday, which means it’s time for a gushy Insta caption, courtesy of her fiancé. Nothing says HBD like an IG carousel and 🎂 emoji, amirite?

“words fall short baby. you light up this world & i am the luckiest man alive to call you my fiancé. i keep falling more in love with you & your pure heart & soul every moment. can’t wait to make endless memories with u & forever cherish you with all my heart. happy 28th, my angel @ddlovato 💘🎂.”

It’s been half a year since Demi and Max started dating and they couldn’t be cheesing any harder. To celebrate their six-month anniversary, Max serenaded Demi with Daniel Caesar’s “Best Part,” and Demi gave him a sweet Insta Story shout-out and wrote, “Happy six months to my darling, the best father these pups could ever ask for. I love you BEYOND. Thank you for making my life so much better. @MaxEhrich I love you baby.”

September 12, 2020

In a twist the absolutely no one expect, a bunch of Max's old tweets start making the rounds on the internet, which TBH doesn't sound sooooo bad...except it totally is because in the tweets he's thirsting after Selena Gomez.

In response to the drama, Demi posted a length statement to her Instagram Stories saying that the tweets were fake and that it was attempt for her haters to pit her against Selena:

"It's really sad when people FAKE images to put women against each other. If women have conflict that's between them NOT YOU. Secondly, don't y'all have more important shit to write about in 2020??? I challenge any tabloid that dares to type my name to mention Breonna Taylor and the fact that her murderers still haven't been arrested. WRITE ABOUT THAT.

But then I stop and think...it's hella rude but damn.. I get it. And I don't wanna look at what's really happening in the world either but WE HAVE TO. Yes, it's easier to tear apart celebrities and their relationships because 2020 sucks and scares the shit out of us all but it's only gonna stay terrifying until we address it all and WORK ON SOLUTIONS TOGETHER.

So while on one hand I understand and have compassion for those who are so horrified at the reality of 2020 that they gotta distract themselves with doctored images in order to not focus on how bad these times are, but on the other hand, if you aren't 13 years old trying to grasp the reality of right now, put on your adult underpants and write about what actually matters. Please."

Demi's friends are understandably suspicious of Max's intentions after his tweets resurfaces. Despite the pretty incriminating evidence, Demi "is head over heels for Max and doesn't want to be heartbroken," an E! News source says. "She truly cares about Max and wants to think his intentions are genuine."

Her besties aren't as convinced, though: "People close to Demi have expressed that they are worried and are hesitant about Max."

Meanwhile, an interview comes out in which Demi fully says she wouldn't mind eloping with Max because of the pandemic. She tells PopCrush Nights hosts Kayla Thomas and Matt Ryan that she "would love to elope because my life is so public and I want to keep it sacred between me and him. On the other hand, I want my friends and family to be there for a celebration, but I can't do that until the pandemic's over because it's not safe so it's like, what do we—do we do that [elope] in the meantime and then do that [a big wedding ceremony] later?"

Yikes.

September 24, 2020

Less than two weeks after Max's thirst trap sends shockwaves through the internet, People reports that Demi and Max have split.

"It was a tough decision, but Demi and Max have decided to go their separate ways to focus on their respective careers," says People's source. "They have respect and love for one another and will always cherish the time they spent together." :(

September 25, 2020

Here's where things start to get a little messy. Though it seems like Demi and Max's personal work got in the way of their relationship, there's more that meets the eye.

"Demi and Max were basically together 24/7 for months," a source tells People. "They lived in a bubble with zero stress, and everything was just fun. Now they are both working and are on separate coasts. They were having conflicts."

Distance also "put a strain" on Demi and Max's relationship because "Max shot up in fame, and it's been hard. He got wrapped up in [Hollywood]."

On the other hand, an Us Weekly source says, “In the beginning, Max was super careful about self-promotion [and] things with his career, but once they got engaged, he really hit the gas pedal and wanted to make the most out of his career opportunities. He felt more comfortable doing so after they were fiancés and had a little bit more of a leg up.”

September 27, 2020

Nope, Max isn't salty AT ALL about his break up from Demi. He is as cool as a cucumber, but for some reason feels the need to alert his followers via Instagram Stories that he found out Demi ended their relationship through the tabloids, writing:

“Imagine finding out about the status of your relationship through a tabloid. While your [sic] in the middle of filming a biopic movie about a Pastor in a Christian Church whose intention of the film is to help people. God bless.”

Naturally, Max deleted those screenshots but Lovatics made sure to get 'em as proof that he's being petty.

But! Max gives even more unasked for intel on how he found out about his and Demi's split, saying:

"I was on the set of my new movie, Southern Gospel, with crew and cast members right next to me who literally watched me open my phone where I then opened a tabloid. This is the God's honest truth of how I found out about the ending of the engagement and have people from my film who saw the whole thing go down and helped me get back into character to continue my job. I had cast and crew with families relying on me to do my job. That being said, please end this narrative and focus on more important issues in the world. I love and forgive everyone involved. Let us be. Let us heal. God bless."

Yeah...so all that nonsense Max is spewing about not knowing Demi broke up with him? False, according to an E! News insider. The source says that Max "is lying," and that "Demi did tell him beforehand." If you're wondering why TF Max would go through all this trouble to make himself look like a fool, the source says that Max is "just trying to stay relevant. Her family thinks he is crazy and is so relieved she has taken this step."

Max doesn't stop trying to clear his name though, and keeps using Instagram to do it. In his Stories, he asks fans to "Please stop trying to 'Thank you, next' me," because he's "just a human being who has to go to work tomorrow AM where there are families with kids relying on me. To this moment... we haven't spoken over the phone... we haven't even officially ended anything to each other, literally. I'm here in real time with y'all. I love Demetria and just want her to be healthy and safe."

And to add a little extra flair, Max addresses Demi DIRECTLY and says, "If you're reading this... I love you always... unconditionally... no matter what" before sharing posts featuring her songs and writing, "Demetria is THEE best female vocalist alive. And everyone should know it. She inspires me every day and is an INCREDIBLE human being. I know it's not her writing these stories, it's a machine. I love her unconditionally."

Still no direct word from Demi on all this, but fingers crossed that she is doing okay!
