Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama Split: Their Romance in Their Own Words

Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama shocked fans when they announced their decision to split after six years together via Instagram on Friday, June 3, but the pair noted that they “will always be supportive of one another.”

“After almost 6 loving and wonderful years together, we have decided to end our relationship,” the duo shared on their respective accounts. “This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends.… Thank you to everyone who has offered us kindness and support over the years.”

The former couple, who met in 2010 after shooting a PSA for Voto Latino at Valderrama’s home, initially kept mum on their relationship, but as the years went by, both Lovato, 23, and Valderrama, 36, have openly praised their better half.

Below are some of the duo’s sweetest quotes about one another, in their own words.

1. “He’s very manly, and he can be stubborn like Latino men can, but he’s protective and he cares so much and loves so hard. I’ve been blessed enough to have him in my life, and not just as my man, but also my best friend.”

4. ”We started dating when I turned 18… Right after that, I went to rehab,” she continued. “People told him, ‘You should probably leave. She’s on a spiral, and you’re going to be sucked down with it.’ But he was like, ‘I’m not leaving. This is somebody I really care about.’ We relate on a lot of levels. I’ve seen a lot of s–t. S–t people don’t know about. He’s seen a lot of stuff too.”
